Abstract

Occupation-centered lifestyle interventions improve health and delay age-related declines in older adults; however, little is known about the impact of a brief telehealth lifestyle program delivered individually. This pilot investigated the Holistic Occupational Performance Empowerment (HOPE) program on occupational performance and health-related quality of life. Twelve community-dwelling older adults completed six weekly lifestyle sessions to enhance behavior change toward individualized health goals. Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and the Short Form 20-Item Survey (SF-20) were administered preintervention and postintervention to measure program outcomes. Among 36 health-related goals, 69.4% achieved or exceeded the expected level of attainment. A paired samples t-test revealed statistically higher posttest GAS scores compared with pretest scores, indicating significant improvements in occupational performance. SF-20 mental health scores increased postintervention, although not significantly. Preliminary findings suggest that HOPE could positively impact occupational performance in community-dwelling older adults warranting a future large-scale randomized controlled trial.

改善老年人职业表现的远程保健生活方式试点研究。

以职业为中心的生活方式干预能改善老年人的健康状况，延缓与年龄相关的衰退；然而，人们对单独提供的简短远程保健生活方式计划的影响知之甚少。这项试验调查了整体职业表现赋能（HOPE）计划对职业表现和与健康相关的生活质量的影响。12 名居住在社区的老年人完成了每周六次的生活方式课程，以加强行为改变，实现个性化的健康目标。在干预前和干预后分别进行了目标达成量表（GAS）和 20 项短表调查（SF-20），以衡量计划的成果。在 36 个与健康相关的目标中，69.4% 达到或超过了预期水平。配对样本 t 检验显示，与干预前相比，干预后的 GAS 分数在统计学上更高，这表明职业表现有了显著改善。干预后，SF-20 精神健康评分有所提高，但不明显。初步研究结果表明，HOPE 可对居住在社区的老年人的职业表现产生积极影响，值得在未来进行大规模随机对照试验。
