- Abstract
This paper presents results of an inquiry designed to evaluate the current state of the Brazilian occupational therapists' scientific production regarding activities, occupation, doing, and action. This study considers the use of terms, conceptions, and definitions related to different theoretical approaches and practices in Occupational Therapy. In the first stage of this survey, presented in a previous text published in 'Revista de Terapia Ocupacional da USP', 206 articles published by Brazilian journals between 1990 and 2008 were analyzed quantitatively. Presented here is the second stage of the study in which 92 articles were selected for qualitative analysis. This analysis mapped out the definitions of terms most frequently used and the discussions around them. As a result, it was possible to recognize different conceptions and ways of working with activities, thus producing a fuller and deeper understanding of practices and theoretical approaches in the field. Gathering and reflecting on the conceptual construction performed by occupational therapists over almost 20 years has enabled a critical exercise, through which we explored the institution of occupational therapy and key concepts produced in the field.
