The provision of workplace accommodations is a proven strategy in supporting individuals with disabilities at work. Accommodations include a wide range of supports and strategies that are not very well defined beyond the Americans with Disabilities Act in the United States. Understanding the landscape of accommodations is important to measure the impact of programs that support employment of individuals with disabilities.
To conduct a scoping review and thematic analysis of research literature to identify how workplace accommodations are operationalized and to identify knowledge gaps in its conceptualization.
Keywords searches were conducted in seven electronic databases. Title, abstract, and full text screening was conducted followed by a thematic analysis of the content to identify how workplace accommodations are operationalized.
Overall, 47 studies were selected for review. 433 different types of accommodations were identified, of which assistive technology and specialized equipment represented the most frequently reported type of accommodation (40%). A very small percentage of studies included policy changes (9%) and human assistance (5%) as an accommodation strategy.
This scoping review aims to clarify how accommodations are operationalized in the research literature. Key knowledge gaps identified include the systematic exclusion of certain types of supports or disability types.
提供工作场所便利措施是支持残疾人士就业的一项行之有效的策略。便利措施包括一系列广泛的支持和策略，在美国，除了《美国残疾人法案》之外，这些措施并没有得到很好的界定。了解便利措施的情况对于衡量支持残疾人士就业项目的影响至关重要。
对研究文献进行范围综述和主题分析，以确定工作场所便利措施是如何实施的，并找出其概念化方面的知识空白。
在七个电子数据库中进行关键词搜索。进行标题、摘要和全文筛选，随后对内容进行主题分析，以确定工作场所便利措施是如何实施的。
总体而言，选取了47项研究进行综述。共识别出433种不同类型的便利措施，其中辅助技术和专用设备是报告频率最高的便利措施类型（40%）。只有极少数研究将政策变化（9%）和人力协助（5%）作为便利措施策略。
本范围综述旨在阐明研究文献中便利措施是如何实施的。确定的关键知识空白包括对某些类型的支持或残疾类型的系统性排除。
