Informal caregiving is becoming a recognized area of practice that requires provision of services by occupational therapists. This article reports the results of a literature review with the aim of (1) identifying significant themes that directly relate to the core philosophy of occupational therapy; (2) evaluating the role of occupational therapy in informal caregiving and (3) providing information on similar themes described by other disciplines. Themes that emerged from the review included meaning and motivation, caregiver occupations, gender roles, routines and habits, environmental modification and the adaptative process. Little research was reported in terms of longitudinal studies and mixed racial groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
