The research findings related to human occupation have enhanced people's understanding of the importance of occupation to health and well-being, thereby making evidence-based practice focusing on occupation much more feasible for occupational therapists . At present, researchers in occupational science are predominantly from the field of occupational therapy. However, the concept of "occupation" and of providing occupation-focused services is still new to some occupational therapists. This article discussed the differences between an occupation-focused approach and a medical model approach in their perspectives on human being and health. In addition, the possible obstacles for applying occupational science into clinical practicing were discussed. Methods for learning an occupation-focused practice were also suggested. The author argued that in order to promote the development of occupational science, it is necessary to increase the public's awareness of the benefits of occupational science. As the effect of occupation on health and well-being is recognized and experienced, more researchers and practitioners would be attracted to investigate and apply the concept of occupational science.en-US職能職能科學以職能?焦點的介入occupationoccupational scienceoccupation-focused approach[SDGs]SDG310.6594/JTOTA.2010.28(1).01
