Pages 114-127 | Accepted 06 Sep 2016, Published online: 02 Apr 2017
 

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The term occupational disruption is used increasingly throughout the occupational science and therapy literature. Despite frequent mentions, a clear understanding of the concept and its use is lacking. Aim: The purpose of this scoping review was to conceptualise occupational disruption by explaining how the term is described and understood. Methods: Levac, Colquhoun, and O’Brien’s (2010) refinements to Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) scoping review methodology were used to map the research literature around occupational disruption. Results: Occupational disruption is present in the literature in a number of contexts, with discussions relating to impact on identity, management strategies, and engagement in social relationships and valued occupations. However, the term was used inconsistently throughout the literature. Conclusions: An enhanced conceptualization of occupational disruption will promote understanding of its effects and implications, allowing researchers to apply the concept to diverse populations.

简介:在休闲科学和治疗文献中,休闲中断一词的使用越来越多。尽管经常提及,但是对这一概念及其用途的了解却很少。目的:这个范围审查的目的是通过解释如何描述和理解休闲中断这个术语来将其概念化。方法:Levac,Colquhoun和O'Brien(2010)对Arksey和O'Malley(2005)的范围审查方法的改进被用于统计关于休闲中断的研究文献。结果:休闲中断出现于一系列文献中,涉及对身份、管理策略、参与社会关系以及有意义的休闲的讨论。然而,在总体文献中,该术语的运用并不一致。结论:休闲中断的进一步概念化将促进对其作用和影响的理解,使研究人员将这一概念应用于不同的人群。

Introducción: Tanto las ciencias ocupacionales como la literatura sobre terapia emplean de manera cada vez más frecuente el término interrupción ocupacional. A pesar de ello, no existe una comprensión clara del concepto ni de la manera de emplearlo. Objetivo: El propósito de esta revisión es conceptualizar dicho término a partir del análisis de cómo ha sido descrito y comprendido. Métodos: Se emplearon las precisiones realizadas por Levac, Colquhoun y O'Brien (2010) sobre la metodología de revisión creada por Arksey y O'Malley (2005) para levantar un mapa de la literatura académica que ha abordado el concepto de interrupción ocupacional. Resultados: En la literatura, la noción de interrupción ocupacional aparece asociada a varios contextos, así como a discusiones relativas a su impacto en la identidad, las estrategias de gestión y el involucramiento de los afectados por este fenómeno en las relaciones sociales y las ocupaciones valoradas. Sin embargo, se detectó que su uso en la literatura es poco consistente. Conclusiones: Una conceptualización más precisa de la noción de interrupción ocupacional facilitará la comprensión de sus efectos e implicaciones, permitiendo a los investigadores aplicar el concepto a poblaciones diversas.
