Abstract

Depressive symptoms contribute to frailty and care dependency. Participation in meaningful activities is key for preventing depressive symptoms, yet its link to occupational participation remains unclear. This study examined the relationship between occupational participation factors and depressive symptoms in older adults. This cohort study included 278 participants. Occupational participation was measured using the Self-reported Occupational Performance Inventory, and depressive symptoms were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale. Multiple regression analysis was conducted. Occupational control (β = -0.20, p = .004) and balance (β = -0.18, p = .008) in leisure were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. Satisfaction with performance correlated negatively with depressive symptoms in leisure (β = -0.15, p = .034) and self-care (β = -0.14, p = .029). Managing leisure activities by ensuring control, balance, and satisfaction is essential for preventing depressive symptoms in older adults.

日本社区居住老年人职业参与与抑郁症状的关系

抑郁症状会导致虚弱和护理依赖。参与有意义的活动是预防抑郁症状的关键，但其与职业参与的关系尚不清楚。本研究探讨职业参与因素与老年人抑郁症状的关系。该队列研究包括278名参与者。使用自我报告的职业表现量表测量职业参与，使用老年抑郁量表测量抑郁症状。进行多元回归分析。休闲时的职业控制（β = -0.20, p = 0.004）和平衡（β = -0.18, p = 0.008）与抑郁症状呈负相关。工作表现满意度与休闲抑郁症状（β = -0.15, p = 0.034）和自我护理抑郁症状（β = -0.14, p = 0.029）呈负相关。通过控制、平衡和满意度来管理休闲活动对于预防老年人抑郁症状至关重要。
