The International Classification of Function (ICF), as formulated by the World Health Organization (WHO), is an accepted international standard for categorizing health and disability. We examined the frequency that ICF domains have been included in 788 Journal of Hand Therapy articles and 78 hand therapy articles from other sources using a scoring system based on the WHO ICF definitions. We found emphasis on body functions and body structures, with less emphasis placed on activities, participation, and environmental factors. This trend has remained stable over time despite the emergence of patient-centered disability measures. We recommend that scientists increasingly incorporate all of the WHO ICF domains in their scientific investigations to demonstrate the societal and personal impact of the profession in a language that is understood and appreciated by a wide array of health care users, policy makers, and third-party payers.
《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）由世界卫生组织（WHO）制定，是一种被广泛接受的健康和残疾分类国际标准。我们使用基于 WHO ICF 定义的评分系统，对 788 篇《手治疗杂志》文章和其他来源的 78 篇手治疗文章中 ICF 领域的出现频率进行了研究。我们发现，这些文章主要关注身体功能和身体结构，而对活动、参与和环境因素的关注较少。尽管出现了以患者为中心的残疾衡量标准，但这种趋势随着时间的推移一直保持稳定。我们建议科学家在他们的科学研究中越来越多地纳入所有 WHO ICF 领域，以用一种广泛的医疗保健用户、政策制定者和第三方付款人都理解和欣赏的语言来展示该专业在社会和个人方面的影响。
