Abstract: 

This review identified what occupational therapy interventions have been used to address depressive and anxiety symptoms within the physical disability inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) and determined determine the efficacy of these interventions for mental health, quality of life, and functional outcomes. Nine databases for all publication years were searched (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, AgeLine, OTseeker, and CINAHL). Five of 8,082 articles met inclusion criteria. Included articles were peer reviewed, based in the United States, in English, controlled clinical trials or randomized controlled trials, in the IPR setting, and within the occupational therapy scope of practice. Two reviewers independently screened articles, with disagreements resolved by consensus. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used for abstracting data and assessing quality. Diagnoses included stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and musculoskeletal conditions. Results are discussed among four categories: study design and outcome variables, intervention type, intervention intensity, and intervention efficacy. The findings indicate that limited, moderate-quality evidence exists within the occupational therapy scope of practice for addressing depressive and anxiety symptoms in the physical disability IPR setting. Interventions primarily included cognitive and behavioral strategies. Further research among diverse patient populations is needed to support occupational therapy practitioners in facilitating client participation and functioning.
