The doing, being, becoming, and belonging (DB3) scale: Development and initial content validity in an Australian context

The DB3 scale meets a previously identified need for a tool to translate the core concepts of the Pan Occupational Paradigm (POP) into occupational therapy practice and is the first outcome measure exclusively addressing occupational being. This study underscores its potential utility and applicability across a wide range of settings. Future directions should focus on expanded psychometric evaluation beyond the initial Australian context, exploring cross-cultural applicability and wider implementation of the DB3 into clinical practice, research, and education.
