Sammanfattning
Background: Occupation has been the focus in occupational therapy practice to greater or
lesser degrees from a historical viewpoint. This evokes a need to discuss whether concepts that
are added to our field will enhance or blur our focus on occupation.
Aim: To explore how the concept of participation in the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is related to the concept of occupation by reviewing and
comparing its use in three models of practice within occupational therapy. The aim was also to
generate discussion on possibilities and challenges concerning the relationship of participation
and occupation.
Method: The models reviewed were The Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), the Canadian
Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) and the Occupational Therapy
Intervention Process Model (OTIPM).
Results: The concept of participation was related to occupation in different ways in these models.
Based on the review some challenges and considerations for occupational therapy were
generated.
Conclusion: Relating the concept of participation from the ICF to the concept of occupation in
models of practice can be challenging. At the same time, relating the concepts can be a
resource to develop occupational therapy and the understanding of occupational issues in
society.
