Occupational Therapy and Chronic Disease Management

The Australian Occupational Therapy Journal would like to invite submissions of original research related to occupational therapy practice and chronic disease management. The current international focus on the social and medical determinants of chronic disease and subsequent implications for health and well being places the profession of occupational therapy in the spotlight. The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the research and work undertaken by occupational therapists to assist people with all chronic conditions to maintain occupational performance and participation across the lifespan and in all environments. The submissions may be, but are not limited to, reports of original research, feature articles and reviews, evaluating innovative practices, describing lived experiences and identifying directions for future practice. Topics areas of interest may include, but are not limited to research with:

  • adults living with chronic medical, mental health and neurological conditions
  • children living with medical, neurological and/or mental health conditions
  • caregivers of adults or children with chronic conditions
  • chronic conditions and occupations eg Workers with chronic conditions, Leisure with chronic conditions.

The deadline for submissions is 1st February 2012. If you are interested but would like further clarification you are welcome to contact Elspeth Froude-Editor in Chief to discuss your ideas further.
