“…The unprecedented, global, and prolonged duration of disruption of normal daily activity, along with the documented effects on health, reaffirm the belief that occupation is a determinant of health ( American Occupational Therapy Association, 2017 ). Some studies have shown how occupational disruptions affected specified domains of health.…”

The disruption in daily activity performance during COVID-19 lockdowns is widely understood to have impacted health, but a better understanding of how restricted performance of specific activities are associated with health is needed. This cross-sectional study answers the following question: How were changes in the performance of 16 daily activities associated with health during COVID-19 lockdowns? A total of 116 participants completed an online survey rating their health before and during COVID-19 lockdowns and comparing their recollection of the performance of 16 activities before COVID-19 with their performance during lockdowns. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to estimate the relationship between self-reported changes in activities during lockdowns and concurrent (during-lockdown) health status, while controlling for pre-COVID-19 health status. Only changes in activities that were uniquely and significantly associated with lockdown health status were retained in the final model. Health before COVID-19 accounted for 3.7% (P = 0.039) of the variance in health during COVID-19 lockdowns. After controlling for health before COVID-19, five types of activity were significantly and uniquely predictive of health during lockdowns, together accounting for 48.3% of the variance. These activities and the variances they accounted for were rest and sleep (29.5%, P < 0.001), play and recreational activities (8%, P < 0.001), work (4.8%, P = 0.002), personal hygiene (3.2%, P = 0.01), and healthy eating (2.8%, P = 0.013). The study suggests that these five types of activity should be prioritized in policy or interventions when participation in activity is constrained by lockdowns or comparable factors.

“…The stress challenge is introduced to support motivation related to painful activities. The progress that results supports the fundamentals of occupational therapy, that the state of mind creates the emotional experience, and the physical performance of meaningful activity translates to an adaptation to a healthier state [23,25]. As such, the occupational therapy team provides augmented occupation-based treatments that build on the concepts employed by the psychologist.…”

“…Occupational therapy is based on the premise that occupation is a health-restoring measure [23][24][25]. A philosophical underpinning to occupational therapy is the belief that a departure from daily life roles and routines attributed to reduced functional performance can lead to distress, diminished sense of purpose, and weakened self-identity [26].…”

“…Therefore, occupational therapy addresses the chronic effects of a life-changing injury, incorporating holistic concepts that promote self-care, mental resilience, and lifelong adaptive skills. The primary goal is to restore health, and to instill wellness and the need to 'do' and to 'be,' as a means to adapt and belong [21,24,25,43]. The application of the COSC approach can extend beyond care in the acute hospital setting.…”

Combat and Operational Stress Control: Application in a Burn Center

Occupational therapy has been integral to the holistic recovery of soldiers since its origin. The positive psychosocial and physiological effects of occupation-based interventions, fundamental to the profession, have long justified its relevance to the military. As such, occupational therapy has been written into US Army doctrine as an integral component of the Combat and Operational Stress Control (COSC) program. The focus of a COSC unit is to prevent, identify, reduce, and manage combat and operational stress reactions resulting from physical and mental stressors in a combat environment. COSC centers around the recognition and resolution of functional problems and the development of enhanced coping skills. Recognizing that burn patients are, like combatants, also at high risk of stress-related illness, we applied COSC concepts to peacetime burn care. In this paper we describe the theoretical basis for COSC in a burn center. The COSC model supports holistic, functional recovery of the burn casualty and can augment psychosocial recovery, particularly in times of limited resources.

The profession’s foundational construct; occupation, is therapeutically effective, but there remains inconsistent use as a therapeutic medium. A psychometrically strong tool can measure and maximize the use of occupation. This study establishes preliminary psychometric properties of the Occupation-Based Practice Assessment (OBPA). This methodological study tested inter-rater reliability using simulated video cases to examine the OBPA. Overall reliability was acceptable with at .868. All subsections were acceptable including Meaning and Purposeful Occupation (.871), Therapeutic Intent (.819), and Engaged Participation (.807). Two items, Context (.946) and Actual Doing (.981), demonstrated excellent reliability; while three items, Meaning (.747), Adaptation (.799), and Participation (.735), fell slightly below the acceptable level. Preliminary investigation of the OBPA reveals acceptable inter-rater reliability and suggests potential for use following additional in-vivo testing to measure therapeutic interactions to enhance student learning, optimize clinical practice, facilitate professional development, evaluate programs, and quantify occupation-based practice in research.
