Examining the intersection of policy and occupational therapy: A scoping review.

We present the descriptive information of the included articles according to policy type, sphere of action, stage of policy development, level, and actors. The qualitative analysis uncovered two broad concepts: "awareness" about the relationship between policy and practice and messages pertaining to "action." IMPLICATIONS.: There are numerous areas for further research into the policy-occupational therapy nexus, as policy has numerous pathways to shape practice. Practitioners will benefit from better understanding these pathways and actively engaging to align policy with the values of the profession. PMID: 31023062 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
