Goal setting in rehabilitation for clients with visceral disabilities:

A scoping review

Abstract

This scoping review aimed to map existing literature on goal setting for people with visceral disabilities in rehabilitation. Of the 1,114 articles, the following 46 were included:cancer (19), heart disease (16), lung disease (6), kidney disease (0), and multiple (5). Except for the articles on cancer, there were few studies focusing on individualized occupational therapy, activities of daily living or participation-based goal setting. However, the research investigating occupation and COPM was reported for patients with heart and lung disease. Thus, Japan would benefit from similar research.
