The ongoing racism pandemic in the United States negatively impacts the health, safety, and occupations of Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color. Although occupational therapy (OT) practitioners have a pressing obligation to actively address racism's causes and consequences, they lack guidance on what to do. This scoping study sought to identify and synthesize existing knowledge on ways OT practitioners and the profession can engage in anti-racist actions. Six databases were searched for content related to OT and anti-racism. The 31 included articles indicated that OT practitioners should: engage in reflexivity on ways their power and privilege impact therapeutic relationships, use inclusive models, consider how racism can impact client occupations and health care access, and address structural racism through advocacy and occupations as means. Although being anti-racist is a lifelong process, strategies within this study can support OT practitioners and the profession to initiate concrete anti-racist actions.
美国持续存在的种族主义大流行对黑人和/或有色人种的健康、安全和职业产生负面影响。尽管职业治疗师（OT）有积极解决种族主义根源和后果的紧迫义务，但他们缺乏关于应采取哪些行动的指导。这项范围界定研究旨在确定和综合现有的关于 OT 从业者和该专业如何参与反种族主义行动的知识。六个数据库被搜索了与 OT 和反种族主义相关的内容。31 篇纳入的文章表明，OT 从业者应该：反思自己的权力和特权如何影响治疗关系，使用包容性模式，考虑种族主义如何影响客户的职业和获得医疗保健的机会，并通过倡导和职业来解决结构性种族主义。虽然反种族主义是一个终身的过程，但本研究中的策略可以支持 OT 从业者和该专业采取具体的反种族主义行动。
