Unpacking occupational participation in the context of romantic partnerships: A scoping review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Romantic partnerships are characterized by deeply emotional and physical bonds often manifested through shared occupations. The concept of co-occupation highlights the interdependent and collaborative nature of such occupations. However, the question remains as to how co-occupation can be understood within the context of a romantic partnership. The objective of this scoping review was to identify and summarize how co-occupation involving romantic partners has been described within occupational science and occupational therapy literature.Methods A five-step scoping review framework identified relevant primary research from three databases: CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Pubmed. Studies had to include romantic partners, aged 18 years and older, and describe the occupational participation of both partners. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify and synthesize themes emerging from the findings and discussion sections across the studies.Results The search yielded 229 studies from databases and 3 from citation searching. Twenty met the inclusion criteria. Most studies involved heterosexual partners living in Western countries. The identified themes were: 1) ‘Doing together’: joint participation in co-occupations; 2) ‘Doing for each other’: singular participation in co-occupations; and 3) ‘Doing as one’: Navigating illness as reflected in co-occupations.Conclusions While the findings are limited to heterosexual relationships and English language literature, this review highlights how partners can experience shared meaning, intentionality, and physicality through their co-occupations. Further research is needed to explore how a sense of ‘we-ness’ can emerge from such occupational participation.

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.
