"Occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions for community-dwelling older people : Intervention effects in relation to facets of occupational engagement and cost effectiveness."

Abstract:

Background Occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions can potentially promote occupational engagement among community-dwelling older people, but there is limited evidence to identify the most effective and cost-effective interventions. For independent-living older people, there is a lack of evidence to determine if occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions have an effect on their occupational engagement. For older people who need assistance because of bathing disabilities, there is limited evidence of the effects of occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions

Abstract:

Background: Among the instruments commonly used by occupational therapists working in the area of rehabilitation of persons with neurological disorders are evaluations of both occupation, such as activities of daily living (ADL), and body functions. While persons with neurological diagnoses typically have symptoms that represent diminished neurobehavioral functions, the resulting pattern of neurobehavioral impairments affecting ADL performance often differs among diagnostic groups. Usually, neurobehavioral impairments are evaluated in a context that is separate from and not natural for ADL tas

Abstract:

In general, people with severe psychiatric disability living in sheltered or supported housing lead passive, solitary lives. Current rehabilitative approaches often neglect considering an agentic perspective of the residents in sheltered or supported housing. Furthermore, the outreach and societal contexts are often not considered. Thus, practitioners tend to overlook the potential in providing support and rehabilitation that is adapted to their individual, collective and changing needs. My approach was to develop a model for Everyday Life Rehabilitation (ELR), which has a potential to promote

Multilevel modeling was used to examine whether the detrimental effects of daily occupational stress on sleep quality were buffered by perceived social support availability.

As the process by which individuals recharge resources that have been depleted, recovery has been recognized as important due to its potential to mitigate the negative effects of work on employee well-being. Although the recovery literature has continued to grow, many questions remain unanswered.

Abstract:

Homecare re-ablement services have been widely implemented by local authorities in England, although there are widespread variations in relation to occupational therapy input within them. These services aim to improve users’ ability to manage independently at home and reduce the need for other health and social care services. It is not known whether outcomes are better for people who receive occupational therapy as part of their homecare re-ablement compared with those who do not. This thesis reports a programme of work investigating this, encompassing: a systematic review, a qualitative inter

Abstract:

I–HOPE is an instrument that can be used to examine person–environment fit in the home. The instrument is developed in the United States and involves forty-four activity cards that are to be sorted by the client to address the activities that are problematic in his/her everyday life. The purpose of this study was to examine if the activity cards would fit in a Swedish context, and if other activities needed to be added, to match every day activities of people, 65 years and older, living in ordinary homes in Sweden. A survey was distributed to twenty-one participants age 65 and older. This surv

Abstract:

Personer med en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning kan ha olika svårigheter som påverkar de dagliga aktiviteterna i vardagen. Aktivitetsbalans är ett begrepp som ofta används inom arbetsterapi och beskriver en individs uppfattning av att ha en tillfredsställande mängd av aktiviteter och rätt variation mellan olika aktiviteter. Det förekommer inga studier om aktivitetsbalans kopplat till personer med en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning vad författarna har noterat. Syftet med examensarbetet var att beskriva den självskattade aktivitetsbalansen hos vuxna personer med en neuropsykiatrisk f

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans är en självupplevd känsla av att ha balans mellan fritid, arbete och vila. Att ha aktivitetsbalans är viktig för att en person ska kunna ha en god hälsa och livskvalitet vilket kan vara svårt för mjölkbönderna som både bor och arbetar på sina gårdar. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att studera svenska mjölkbönders upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans och livskvalitet och om ett samband fanns mellan dessa. Metod: En elektronisk enkätstudie genomfördes med både kvantitativ och kvalitativ del. Enkäten var utformad med demografiska frågor; frågor utifrån de två bedömningsinstrumente

Abstract:

The overall purpose of the study was the identification of factors which influence the freedom of physically disabled people, within South African society, to make choices that will enable them to conduct their daily lives independently. Qualitative research methods (observation and semi-structured interviews) were utilised to explore the problem from the disabled person's perspective. In total there were ten participants, sampling being purposive and opportunistic. The study was essentially narrative, with the results analysed and grouped thematically.

Abstract:

Many long-term wheelchair users find themselves unable to accomplish their former daily routines due to fatigue and weakness caused by cardiopulmonary decompensation (CPD). This study showed that long-term survivors of quadriplegia can improve stamina and strength, and therefore participation in daily life occupations, through participation in a regular exercise program using equipment specifically designed for them. Increased aerobic capacity, achieved through regular exercise, has proven with many populations to increase stamina and strength, thereby increasing participation in daily occupat
