A systematic review and narrative synthesis of occupational therapy-led interventions for individuals with anxiety and stress-related disorders
(2019) In Occupational Therapy in Mental Health 35(2). p.179-204- Abstract

The results show the potential for lifestyle approaches, occupational science-based programs, and skill-building to improve mental health. The variety of interventions and methodologies of many studies means that the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for this population is not yet determined. High-quality research is required to replicate... (More)

High-quality research is required to replicate interventions with emerging potential for effectiveness.
