Summary:
"This research unpacks the concept of "
meaningful
occupations
" through the voices and stories of Aboriginal and African Nova Scotian community members in
North
End
,
Halifax
. Occupational therapy defines "
occupations
" as goal-directed activities and pursuits that occupy people's time andlives, including work, study, recreation and leisure. This research uses narrative data to examine the various factors that offer or limit
opportunities
for accessing and participating in
meaningful
occupations
in these
communities
. It focuses on the subjective experience of occupation, in particular, how the choice of and participation in specific
occupations
convey and express individual and community values, beliefs, identity, spirituality and community belongingness. Also of concernin this research is the relationship between occupation and environment, in particular how the environment in the
North
End
shapes occupational choices. Finally, the research examines the relationship between
meaningful
occupations
and health, with health being understood holistically as the interconnection between spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health and well-being."--From summary of project description.
Research objectives: The main project objective is to identify how community agencies in the
North
End
can engage
low-income
racialized
communities
in
meaningful
occupations
. The project's other objectives are: To examine how
low-income
racialized
individuals and
communities
in the
North
End
conceptualize
meaningful
occupations
; To identify the personal, social and economic factors that may create barriers to accessing and participating in
meaningful
occupations
among
low-income
racialized
individuals and
communities
in the
North
End
; and To examine how organizational structures, policies and service delivery within community agencies determine access to
meaningful
occupations
among
low-income
racialized
individualsand
communities
in the
North
End
.
