Abstract

Purpose: The main goal of this study was to review research literature on Occupational Performance Coaching. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was used to investigate the studies in terms of the level of evidence, group participation, outcome measures and results. Findings: Two articles, a Doctoral dissertation and a Master's thesis showed that participants, especially mothers of children with occupational performance problems, can benefit from this approach. Conclusion: Occupational Performance Coaching can be effective however, due to identified weaknesses in the reviewed manuscripts more accurate studies are needed.
