- Model type - Frame work | Domain of Occupation - Unspecified
- The fundamental message of this framework is, “what you do everyday matters”, and they are essential to one’s health and wellbeing. There are four main sections, and each represents a building block to “Do-Live-Well". The four sections are (1) dimensions of experience, (2) activity patterns, (3) health and wellbeing outcomes, and (4) forces influencing activity engagement. It provides the building blocks of a person’s well-being and support therapists to facilitate the client’s patterns of time use in occupations.
- Client population includes all age groups - child, adolescent, adult, and elderly. Applicable to all disabilities and settings.
- The framework can be served as a guide to develop tools that facilitate one’s reflection patterns of time use in occupation. It can also be used to identify missed or disrupted dimensions of experience that interrupt with well-being. It is an advocacy tool to increase access opportunity to activities in the communities. It aims to empower people in reflecting their patterns of activity engagement, in order to promote health and well-being.
- One thing an OT might assess with this theory is activity patterns such as balance.
- Contextual forces - forces that affect activity engagement, includes demographic characteristics of individuals to social forces in physical, institutional, or socio-cultural environments
- Dimensions of experience - different aspects that affect how an individual experiences life, such as activating your body, mind, and senses, connecting with others, contributing to community and society, taking care of yourself, building security/prosperity, developing and expressing identity, developing capabilities and potential, and experiencing pleasure and joy. In everyday diverse but distinct participation in a person’s occupations, each occupation may have more than one dimension of experience and its extension may change along the life course
- Activity patterns - is made up of 5 key concepts that are related to characteristics that shape optimal health and well-being, including; engagement, meaning, balance, control/choice and routine). Each concept is a continuum of activity pattern, and optimal patterns are in the middle range, which lead to health benefits, and either end leads to potential health risks.
