To meet the needs of adults with chronic diseases, Canadian health care is moving toward more interdisciplinary, collaborative practice. There is limited high-quality evidence to support practice in this area. Occupational therapists can play a significant role in this area of practice and research.
To develop an agenda of priority areas within collaborative chronic disease research to which occupational therapy can make a contribution.
The project involved literature and Internet review, a consensus meeting with a range of stakeholders, a survey of occupational therapists, and synthesis of findings to create a research agenda.
An interdisciplinary and intersectoral group of stakeholders identified seven main priority areas. One priority is specific to occupational therapy while the remaining six cross disciplines.
The research agenda can support funding applications and encourage interdisciplinary research collaboration to ultimately produce research evidence that can benefit people with chronic diseases.
为满足患有慢性病的成年人的需求，加拿大医疗保健正朝着更多跨学科、协作性实践的方向发展。支持该领域实践的高质量证据有限。职业治疗师可在这一实践和研究领域发挥重要作用。
制定协作性慢性病研究中优先领域的议程，职业治疗可对此做出贡献。
该项目包括文献和互联网综述、与一系列利益相关者举行的共识会议、对职业治疗师的调查以及对研究结果的综合分析以制定研究议程。
一个跨学科和跨部门的利益相关者小组确定了七个主要优先领域。其中一个优先领域特定于职业治疗，其余六个则跨学科。
该研究议程可支持资金申请，并鼓励跨学科研究合作，最终产生能使慢性病患者受益的研究证据。
