Abstract

Objective/Background

This study aims to develop a fuller understanding of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes for older adults who were homebound (either occupationally competent or not occupationally competent) and not homebound (either occupationally competent or not occupationally competent).

Methods

All the study participants were ≥65 years of age (N = 5,135) and lived in the city of Arakawa (Tokyo, Japan). Questionnaires were inclusive of the Short Form-8 for HRQOL and Occupational Self-Assessment (version 2.1), and were sent to participants by mail. The response rate was 38.7% (1,991/5,135) and the valid rate response was 66.1% (1,317/1,991). The participants were divided into four groups, namely, group A (not homebound/high occupational competence), group B (not homebound/low occupational competence), group C (homebound/high occupational competence), and group D (homebound/low occupational competence). This study analyzed the HRQOL using analysis of variance.

Results

Group A (not homebound/high occupational competence) had the highest HRQOL, whereas group D (homebound/low occupational competence) had the lowest HRQOL among the four groups. However, group C (homebound/high occupational competence) had higher HRQOL than group B (not homebound/low occupational competence).

Conclusion

Occupational competence is not dependent on homebound status. Having high occupational competence supports higher HRQOL than not being homebound.

居家状态与职业能力的关系及其对健康相关生活质量的影响

目的/背景本研究旨在更全面地了解在家(有职业能力或无职业能力)和不在家(有职业能力或无职业能力)的老年人的健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)结果。方法所有研究对象年龄≥65岁(N = 5135)，居住在日本东京荒川市。问卷包括HRQOL短表8和职业自我评估(2.1版)，并通过邮件发送给参与者。应答率为38.7%(1991 / 5135)，有效率为66.1%(1317 / 1991)。被试被分为A组(不回家/高职业能力)、B组(不回家/低职业能力)、C组(回家/高职业能力)和D组(回家/低职业能力)。本研究采用方差分析对HRQOL进行分析。结果A组(不回家/职业能力高)的HRQOL最高，D组(回家/职业能力低)的HRQOL最低。而C组(回家/高职业能力)的HRQOL高于B组(不回家/低职业能力)。结论职业能力与归国状况无关。拥有高职业能力比不在家支持更高的HRQOL。
