Abstract
A review of the literature on 15 scales for assessing occupational balance revealed that 16 different scales have been developed. The measurement methods were mostly self-administered questionnaires, and cen- tered on a method of self-analysis by subjectively evaluating the occupational balance of the person concerned. In the definitions included in the instrument for evaluating occupational balance, similar descriptions were extracted as common elements and classified into four categories: [amount of occupation], [variation of occupation], [agreement with own values], and [results of occupational execution]. It is suggested that by adjusting the occupational balance from these four aspects, research can be developed to clarify the relationship between occupation and health. Clarification and visualization of the concept of occupational balance were identified as future issues.
