Abstract

Objective: Co-occupation involves a high level of social interaction. This article reviews existing theoretical papers and empirical research on co-occupation, analyzes the findings by the units of analysis as well as form, function, and meaning of co-occupation. This review contributes to the understanding of co-occupation and provides suggestions for future research. Methods: Twelve peer-reviewed articles were located with a keyword search of co-occupation in six electronic databases and seven occupational therapy and occupational science electronic journals between the years of 1996-2012. Results: Early scholarly works focused on mother-infant play. Other co-occupations and groups of participants have become the topic of exploration within recent years. Co-occupations were examined in the contexts of day care programs, parent-child activity in neonatal intensive care units and at home, an on-line game Yahtzee, or spouse caregiving. Conclusion: The review adopted the lens of occupational justice to further examine the meanings of co-occupation. Specific populations, such as stroke survivors, and children or adults with developmental disabilities, often require others co-participation to experience meaningful occupations. Occupational therapists can advocate for the rights and opportunities of these vulnerable groups of people to engage in co-occupations. The exclusive emphasis on the perspective of only one participant and not including the perspectives of all participants, in co-occupational experiences also limits a comprehensive understanding of co-occupation. More research to explore co-occupations other than parent-child occupations is needed. The research can also include the perspectives of all participants. Occupational justice can become an integral aspect of clinical reasoning and interventions.
