Occupational Adaptation of People Living With Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IMPORTANCE: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that interferes with daily activities. Because occupational adaptation varies among people, there is a need to determine which factors can influence adaptation to FM in order to better intervene with them. OBJECTIVE: To understand the occupational adaptation process of people living with FM. DATA SOURCES: A systematic review of the literature was conducted in the AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, OTseeker, OTDBASE, and PsycINFO databases. Articles dated before September 2020 were searched using a strategy with the keywords fibromyalgia and occupation. Study Selection and Data Collection: This article follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. Qualitative articles were included if they documented occupational aspects of participants with FM. Two independent reviewers screened the articles and performed the quality assessment using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist. A thematic synthesis was conducted. FINDINGS: Of the 560 articles identified, 347 remained after duplicates were removed. After screening titles and abstracts, 303 articles were rejected, and 44 articles were read in their entirety. Twelve qualitative articles were included in the review. The synthesis highlights that support from relatives is a key to successfully adapting to FM. Identity is crucial to a fulfilled life, and occupational competence is greatly affected by the experience of FM. Occupational adaptation is an issue for some people, but maintaining routines and integrating management strategies would help them to achieve it. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This review highlights the importance of considering the components of occupational adaptation while caring for people with FM. What This Article Adds: This systematic review identifies the factors influencing the occupational adaptation of people living with FM and emphasizes the importance of addressing those factors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
