Utilization of ADOC in clinical and research settings: A scoping review

Abstract

The purpose of this scoping review is to map existing clinical reports and research of ADOC (Aid for Decision-making in Occupation Choice) and inform further its needs. Four databases and proceedings were searched for relevant articles, resulting in the identification of the following 178 articles including 49 research papers and 129 presentation abstracts: 38 quantitative research papers (19 full papers and 19 presentation abstracts), 140 case reports (30 full papers and 110 presentation abstracts). These research papers and case reports suggest that ADOC is widely used in all areas. However, cross cultural research, intervention research, and case reports regarding spinal cord injury, cancer, and dementia were lacking.
