Sensory approaches to mental illness are increasingly prominent in occupational therapy. Despite indicators of efficacy, a paucity of literature supports these approaches. This article provides a scoping review of research on the relationship between sensory processing and mental illness.
Using Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework, we mapped this area of research and identified gaps in the knowledge base. We searched PubMed, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, OTseeker, and the Cochrane Library using the terms sensory and mental health.
We found a growing body of neuroscientific research, primarily using electroencephalography and functional MRI, that links atypical neurosensory activity to mental illness. The occupational therapy literature has primarily focused on the efficacy of sensory rooms in psychiatric inpatient settings.
Research on the efficacy of sensory approaches needs to be expanded, including on how atypical sensory processing in adults with mental illness affects meaningful occupational participation.
在职业治疗中,针对精神疾病的感官治疗方法日益突出。尽管有疗效指标,但支持这些方法的文献却很少。本文对感官处理与精神疾病之间关系的研究进行了范围综述。
我们使用阿克斯和奥马利(2005年)的框架,梳理了该研究领域,并确定了知识库中的空白。我们使用“感官”和“心理健康”等术语在PubMed、CINAHL Plus、PsycINFO、OTseeker和Cochrane图书馆进行了检索。
我们发现了越来越多的神经科学研究,主要使用脑电图和功能磁共振成像,将非典型神经感觉活动与精神疾病联系起来。职业治疗文献主要关注感官室在精神科住院环境中的疗效。
需要扩大对感官治疗方法疗效的研究,包括精神疾病成年人的非典型感官处理如何影响有意义的职业参与。
