Introduction: There is little consensus regarding the meaning of quality of life (QOL) within occupational therapy literature. Measurement of QOL has varied in both research and practice. This scoping review explored the definitions and measures used within occupational therapy quantitative intervention research to evaluate QOL as an outcome. Methods: The review was completed by searching six databases using occupational therapy-related and QOLrelated terms. Data were extracted from each article and authors performed descriptive statistics to establish trends for both definitions and measures. Results: Eighteen publications met the inclusion criteria. Seven articles included a definition of QOL. Most authors defined QOL as a multidimensional construct, comprised of varying domains. Fourteen different standardised measures and two non-standardised measures were utilised. Conclusions: A clear conceptualisation of QOL that incorporates occupational therapy values such as clientcentredness and holism is needed to advocate for the profession's role in health care and to encourage the development of suitable outcome measures.KEY WORDS intervention and service provision, occupational therapy research, quality of life, reviews.
