ABSTRACTBackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent public health safety measures disrupted daily lives as all but essential services were limited and many individuals found themselves confined to their home.ObjectiveIn order to understand the impact of early pandemic safety measures on occupation during a specific developmental phase, this study explored the perceptions of emerging adult occupational therapy students in one Midwestern US city.MethodsThe researchers used a qualitative case study design to analyze selected course assignments in exploring student (N = 13; n = 1 male) perceptions during early COVID-19 movement restrictions.FindingsPrimary themes noted 1) the importance of context or occupational spaces on adaptation, (2) how changes in routines influence being, and (3) the impact of social occupations to belonging and mental health.ConclusionThe occupational disruption caused by COVID-19 safety measures impacted participants’ ‘being in place’ and adaptation was facilitated by the way habits and routines were performed in confined spaces. Future research should look at the long-term impact of the disruption on emerging adult occupation and resilience, since this phase of life is a key to adult becoming. |
