摘要

職能是職能治療關心的主要範疇。「以職能爲焦點」使職能治療與其他健康專業有所區別。此篇文章的目的是激勵職能治療師在實務工作中能夠以職能爲焦點；以職能爲焦點的實務，讓職能治療師得以處理個案的職能需求，並促進其健康與安適。此文的第一部份介紹相關理論以解釋以職能爲焦點的實務之理由，以及提供職能治療師有用的參考架構之模式。第一部份也介紹職能治療的關鍵貢獻者－職能科學。它提供可以應用至職能治療實務的基礎知識與證據，並將治療師的思維由生物物理擴展至職能。此文的第二部份則提供職能治療師思考，及以職能的透鏡看世界，並且提供以職能爲焦點的實務之策略。

Occupation is the domain of concern for occupational therapy. A focus on occupation differentiates occupational therapy from other health professions. The aim of this paper is to energise occupational therapists to become occupation-focused in practice. Occupation-focused practice enables occupational therapists to address the occupational needs of clients and contribute to their health and well being in a unique way. The first part of the paper presents the relevant theories that explain the rationale for occupation-focused practice and the models which provide useful frameworks for occupational therapists. Part one also introduces occupational science as a key contributor to occupational therapy. Providing foundational knowledge and evidence for translation to practice and expanding thinking from biophysical to occupational are important ways the science informs the practice. Part two of the paper presents strategies for thinking and being an occupational therapist who views the world through an occupational lens and is occupation-focused in practice.
