To determine future directions for research in the area of assistive technology and physical environmental issues, it is important to have an understanding of prior research.
This literature review examined how assistive technology and physical environmental issues have been studied in the research published in international peer-reviewed occupational therapy journals.
Five recent volumes of nine journals were manually searched utilizing specific criteria. The publications were classified according to their perspective, application of the Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model, and the research design.
Both research fields demonstrated use of different research methods and they displayed equal needs with regard to improved research methodologies.
There are a lack of studies involving all three PEO components indicating a lack of research in occupational performance issues. Further research on occupational performance is important for developing occupational therapy practice in the area of assistive technology and physical environmental issues. Furthermore, study designs reflecting the societal level in all three PEO components are required. Finally, there is a strong need for conceptual and theoretical development in both fields.
为确定辅助技术和物理环境问题领域未来的研究方向，了解先前的研究很重要。
本文献综述考察了在国际同行评审的职业治疗学期刊上发表的研究中，辅助技术和物理环境问题是如何被研究的。
按照特定标准人工检索了九种期刊的最近五卷。这些出版物根据其视角、人-环境-职业（PEO）模型的应用以及研究设计进行分类。
两个研究领域都展示了不同研究方法的使用，并且在改进研究方法方面表现出同等的需求。
缺乏涉及PEO所有三个组成部分的研究，这表明在职业表现问题上缺乏研究。进一步研究职业表现对于在辅助技术和物理环境问题领域发展职业治疗实践很重要。此外，需要反映PEO所有三个组成部分社会层面的研究设计。最后，这两个领域都非常需要进行概念和理论发展。
