To describe and compare how occupational gaps were reported in everyday occupations in a rehabilitation group of people with musculoskeletal pain or stress-related ill health and in a reference group from the Swedish population.
Seventy-two persons with musculoskeletal pain or stress-related ill health and 261 people from the Swedish population were included. The Occupational Gaps Questionnaire, measuring to what extent individuals perceive a discrepancy between what they want to do and what they actually do, was completed by the participants. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data.
Occupational gaps were reported more often in the rehabilitation group. Leisure activities were the gaps reported most often. The occupational repertoire seemed to decrease over time as the number of activities was decreasing, particularly leisure and work-related activities. Instrumental ADL were more desirable as the length of sick leave extended.
Being on sick leave appears to start a process towards occupational deprivation where the areas that remain in the occupational repertoire become more important. Our study highlights the need to emphasize the whole occupational repertoire in rehabilitation and to facilitate engagement in valued activities to create a sound base for the process of returning to work.
描述并比较在一组患有肌肉骨骼疼痛或与压力相关的健康问题的康复人群以及来自瑞典普通人群的参照组中，日常职业中职业差距是如何被报告的。
纳入了72名患有肌肉骨骼疼痛或与压力相关的健康问题的人以及261名来自瑞典普通人群的人。参与者完成了职业差距问卷，该问卷用于衡量个体在多大程度上感知到他们想要做的事情与实际所做的事情之间的差异。使用描述性统计分析数据。
康复组报告职业差距的情况更为常见。休闲活动是报告最多的差距领域。随着活动数量的减少，职业技能范围似乎随着时间推移而缩小，尤其是休闲和与工作相关的活动。随着病假时长的延长，工具性日常生活活动变得更受重视。
休病假似乎启动了一个职业剥夺的过程，在此过程中，职业技能范围内剩余的领域变得更加重要。我们的研究强调了在康复过程中强调整个职业技能范围以及促进参与有价值活动的必要性，以便为重返工作岗位的过程奠定良好基础。
