Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy and occupational science.
  • Exploration of human occupations and their impact on health.

Background:

  • Occupational resilience (OR) is an emerging concept requiring a clear definition.
  • Real-life experiences of refugee immigrants in the USA inform the understanding of OR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define occupational resilience (OR) based on refugee immigrant experiences.
  • To identify key elements constituting OR and their relationship with health.
  • To explore methods for enhancing persistence in occupation.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative insights derived from the lived experiences of resettled refugee immigrants.
  • Analysis of the role of occupation, intensity, and duration in OR.
  • Case study approach using refugee musicians to understand persistence.

Main Results:

  • Occupational resilience (OR) is defined as the ability to persist in an occupation.
  • Duration and intensity of engagement are identified as essential contributors to OR.
  • OR is proposed as measurable and modifiable, influencing health outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational resilience (OR) is a significant construct for clinical practice, research, and epidemiology.
  • Understanding OR is crucial for supporting health through occupations.
  • The relationship between occupation and health is complex and influenced by OR.
