Abstract

Resilience during stressful life events is a priority for administering the most client-centered care as possible. Occupational therapy practitioners have the unique opportunity to support resilience through promoting meaningful participation. The current study aims to understand the associations between meaningful activity engagement, resilience, and stressful life events. We specifically focused on answering if meaningful participation mediates the relationship between stressful life events and resilience. 492 participants from a non-clinical convenience sample of Amazon's MTurk completed the study. Participants completed an online survey and reported their experiences of stressful life events, resilience, well-being, and meaningful participation. We used SPSS and PROCESS to analyze our data. Stressful event severity and resilience were inversely related. When accounting for the effect of meaningful participation, the relationship became non-significant, indicating evidence of mediation. Implications: Focusing on measuring meaningful participation may be worth studying in further research.

参与有意义的活动可调节生活压力事件与功能恢复力之间的关系。

要尽可能提供以客户为中心的护理服务，就必须优先考虑在紧张的生活事件中提高抗压能力。职业治疗从业人员拥有独特的机会，可以通过促进有意义的参与来支持恢复能力。本研究旨在了解有意义的活动参与、复原力和生活压力事件之间的关联。我们特别关注的是，有意义的参与是否能调节生活压力事件与恢复力之间的关系。来自亚马逊 MTurk 非临床便利样本的 492 名参与者完成了这项研究。参与者完成了一项在线调查，并报告了他们在生活压力事件、复原力、幸福感和有意义参与方面的经历。我们使用 SPSS 和 PROCESS 对数据进行了分析。压力事件的严重程度与恢复力成反比。当考虑到有意义参与的影响时，两者之间的关系变得不显著，这表明存在中介作用。影响：重点衡量有意义的参与可能值得进一步研究。
