Abstract

Review objective The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map information on how occupational therapists address their clients’ perceived and experienced barriers to participation in religious occupations as part of the occupational therapy intervention.

Specifically the review questions are:

i) What are the conceptual understandings of religious practice as an occupational need? ii) What assessments, interventions and outcome measures do occupational therapists use concerning their patients’/clients’ participation in religious occupations?
