Sexuality in the field of occupational therapy: A scoping review

The occupational therapy literature on sexuality reveals a disproportionate emphasis on certain topics, while others remain underexplored. Most studies examined the challenges encountered by occupational therapy practitioners and students in incorporating sexuality into practice. Future studies should not only focus on developing and implementing evidence-based assessments and interventions but also on advancing theoretical understanding at the intersection of sexuality, occupation, and occupational therapy practice.

Abstract

The occupational therapy literature on sexuality reveals a disproportionate emphasis on certain topics, while others remain underexplored. Most studies examined the challenges encountered by occupational therapy practitioners and students in incorporating sexuality into practice. Future studies should not only focus on developing and implementing evidence-based assessments and interventions but also on advancing theoretical understanding at the intersection of sexuality, occupation, and occupational therapy practice.
