Abstract

Introduction: Homecare services are limited, and there is likely a gap between the everyday activities homecare users want to do and the activities they perform or receive help with. Structured assessment on the desire for engaging in activities may be useful to identify unmet occupational needs.

Aim: To reflect on the experiences of using the Occupational Gaps Questionnaire (OGQ) to investigate how homecare users express the desire to do everyday activities they know they cannot perform without help, and to deepen the understanding of how the desire of doing may be restricted beyond limitations in language and cognition.

Method: OGQ interviews were conducted with 11 older adults who received daily homecare. The interviews were analysed thematically.

Result/discussion: The homecare users reported few occupational gaps. Activities that were previously part of their occupational repertoire and considered to be meaningful were no longer desired. The desire to engage in activities appears to be influenced by functional decline and the structural limitations of homecare. Structured assessments might not capture the full picture of what a person desires to do, however may spark valuable conversations. For person-centered eldercare, professionals must acknowledge how functional decline and structural limitations influence what older adults desire to do.

对活动愿望的结构化评估——“为什么希望我不能做的事情?”
导言:家庭护理服务是有限的,家庭护理用户想要做的日常活动与他们执行或接受帮助的活动之间可能存在差距。对参与活动的愿望进行有组织的评估可能有助于确定未满足的职业需求。目的:反思使用职业差距问卷(OGQ)的经验,调查家庭护理使用者如何表达他们知道自己无法在没有帮助的情况下完成日常活动的愿望,并加深对行为愿望如何受到语言和认知限制的理解。方法:对11名接受日常家庭护理的老年人进行OGQ访谈。对访谈进行了主题分析。结果/讨论:家庭护理使用者报告的职业差距很少。以前被认为是他们职业技能的一部分并有意义的活动已不再需要。参与活动的愿望似乎受到功能衰退和家庭护理的结构性限制的影响。结构化的评估可能无法捕捉到一个人想要做什么的全貌,但是可能会引发有价值的对话。对于以人为中心的老年护理,专业人员必须承认功能衰退和结构限制如何影响老年人的愿望。
