Abstract

Background: This scoping review explores how physical, social, and organizational factors influence recreational activity engagement for residents with dementia in long-term care settings.

Methods: A literature search in AgeLine, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, and Web of Science identified studies on environmental factors affecting recreational activities for long-term care residents with dementia. A narrative approach was used to collate and summarize the findings from peer-reviewed English studies available until June 30, 2024.

Results: A total of 28 studies were reviewed, examining how physical, social, and organizational factors-such as homelike ambiance, staffing levels, and medicalized care culture-affect residents' engagement in recreational activities. The review also highlights the interrelationship among these factors.

Discussion and implications: The findings emphasize the importance of creating care environments that support activity participation. These insights can inform future assessments and the development of long-term care settings to improve activity experiences and outcomes for residents.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
