The "F-words in childhood disability" (function, family, fitness, fun, friends, and future) were introduced in a concept paper in 2012 entitled, "The F-words in childhood disability: I swear this is how we should think!". The "F-words" are grounded in, and aim to operationalize, the World Health Organization's (World Health Organization, 2001) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. A citation analysis was conducted to explore the extent of research uptake of the "F-words" concepts.
Three databases-Google Scholar, Wiley Online, and Web of Science-were searched from July 2012 to December 2018 for sources that cited the original F-words paper. Dates of publication and countries of first authors were extracted from all cited articles, and a taxonomy was developed to categorize the type of usage.
The search yielded 157 sources from 26 countries, and the number of citations has continued to increase since the paper's publication. Sources were placed into three categories: cited/referenced (n = 109; i.e., the paper was simply cited), integrated/informed (n = 36; i.e., the F-words were stated within the text), and non-English (n = 12). Of the 36 integrated/informed sources, 34 (94.4%) applied the F-words to the ICF framework and five themes emerged with respect to the use of the F-words: (a) support of a holistic approach to childhood disability, (b) association of the F-words to physical activity and rehabilitation, (c) application and measurement of quality of life, (d) F-words research team-related papers, and (e) "other" category.
This citation analysis shows that the F-words are mainly being used to operationalize the ICF, support a holistic approach to childhood disability, and inform physical activity and rehabilitation-based interventions. These perspectives will play an important role in informing the next steps with respect to moving the F-words into research and practice.
“儿童残疾中的F词”（功能、家庭、健康、乐趣、朋友和未来）在2012年一篇概念文件《儿童残疾中的F词：我发誓这就是我们应有的思考方式！》中被提出。“F词”以世界卫生组织（世界卫生组织，2001年）的《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）框架为基础，并旨在将其付诸实践。进行了一项引文分析，以探究“F词”概念的研究采纳程度。
从2012年7月至2018年12月，在谷歌学术、威利在线和科学网这三个数据库中搜索引用了原始F词论文的来源。从所有被引用文章中提取出版日期和第一作者所在国家，并制定了一个分类法来对使用类型进行分类。
搜索得到来自26个国家的157个来源，自该论文发表以来，引用次数持续增加。来源被分为三类：被引用/提及（n = 109；即论文被简单引用）、整合/受启发（n = 36；即F词在文本中被提及）和非英文（n = 12）。在36个整合/受启发的来源中，34个（94.4%）将F词应用于ICF框架，并且出现了关于F词使用的五个主题：（a）支持对儿童残疾采取整体方法，（b）F词与体育活动和康复的关联，（c）生活质量的应用和测量，（d）与F词研究团队相关的论文，以及（e）“其他”类别。
这项引文分析表明，F词主要用于将ICF付诸实践，支持对儿童残疾采取整体方法，并为基于体育活动和康复的干预措施提供信息。这些观点将在为将F词纳入研究和实践的下一步行动提供信息方面发挥重要作用。
