"Do-Live-Well": a Canadian framework for promoting occupation, health, and well-being
Background:
Occupational therapists can bring a unique and valuable perspective to the national dialogue on health promotion. Current approaches have a narrow focus on diet and exercise; a broader focus on occupation has the potential to enrich understanding regarding forces that contribute to health and well-being.
Purpose:
A new "Do-Live-Well" framework will be presented that is grounded in evidence regarding the links between what people do every day and their health and well-being.
Key Issues:
Elements of the framework include eight different dimensions of experience and five key activity patterns that impact health and well-being outcomes. Personal and social forces that shape activity engagement also affect the links to health and well-being.
Implications:
The framework is designed to facilitate individual reflection, community advocacy, and system-level dialogue about the impact of day-to-day occupations on the health and well-being of Canadians.
