Abstract:
Background. The conceptualisation of participation is important for both clinicians and researchers. Purpose. Analyse and compare two conceptual models, the Disability Creation Process (DCP) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), with particular emphasis on the participation component. Method. Conceptual comparative analysis of the DCP and ICF models focused on participation. Results. We found more differences than similarities between the DCP and ICF models. Similarities concerned approaches, objectives, elements of the models' components, and, to some extent, the participation component itself. Differences were mainly in the underlying models, conceptualisation of components including participation, and the measurement tools of participation. Practice Implications. Based on the results of this conceptual comparison, occupational therapists working in clinical and research settings are encouraged to consider using the DCP, which is an excellent model to choose in regard to participation. Empirical studies are still needed to clarify the concept of participation.French
Description. La conceptualisation de la participation est importante à la fois pour les cliniciens et les chercheurs. But. Analyser et comparer deux modèles conceptuels, soient le Processus de production du handicap (PPH) et la Classification internationale du fonctionnement, du handicap et de la santé (CIF), en mettant un accent particulier sur la composante de la participation. Méthodologie. Analyse conceptuelle comparative des modèles du PPH et de la CIF, axée sur la participation. Résultats. Nous avons trouvé plus de différences que de similarités entre les modèles du PPH et de la CIF. Les similarités concernaient les approches, les objectifs, les éléments des composantes des modèles et, dans une certaine mesure, la composante de la participation en soi. Les différences étaient principalement au niveau des modèles sous-jacents, la conceptualisation des composantes, incluant la participation, et les instruments de mesures de la participation. Conséquences pour la pratique. Selon les résultats de cette comparaison conceptuelle, les ergothérapeutes travaillant dans des milieux cliniques et de recherche auraient avantage considérer l'utilisation le PPH, qui est un excellent modèle en ce qui a trait à la participation. D'autres études empiriques sont necéssaires pour clarifier le concept de participation.
