Abstract

Abstract Aims: This retrospective study explored if there was a change in participation in leisure activities among older adults after transitioning into an assisted living facility. Supports and barriers to leisure and social engagement were also investigated. Methods: The Activity Card Sort (modified) was administered to explore and compare the participants’ engagement in leisure and social activities prior to and after moving into an assisted living facility. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine the participants’ perspectives regarding the current supports and barriers to engagement in their individual and meaningful interests. Results: Quantitative data gathered from the Activity Card Sort (modified) revealed the participants engaged in only 34.13% of the activities they participated in prior to moving into an assisted living facility; results also revealed that only 42% of the participants engaged in a new leisure activity after moving into an assisted living facility. Qualitative data revealed four themes concerning supports and barriers to participation: physical abilities, social supports, available resources, and personal influences. Conclusion: Older adults in assisted living facilities face a decline in engagement in leisure participation and may be at risk for occupational deprivation. Occupational therapists are well-suited to address these concerns.

居住在辅助生活设施中的老年人的休闲和社交需求是否得到满足？

摘要目的：这项回顾性研究探讨了老年人在过渡到辅助生活设施后，参与休闲活动的情况是否发生了变化。还调查了休闲和社会参与的支持和障碍。方法：采用活动卡片分类法（改良），探讨和比较参与者在入住辅助生活设施前后的休闲和社交活动。进行了半结构化访谈，以检查参与者对参与其个人和有意义兴趣的当前支持和障碍的看法。结果：从活动卡分类（修改）中收集的定量数据显示，参与者在进入辅助生活设施之前只参与了34.13%的活动；结果还显示，只有42%的参与者在搬进辅助生活设施后从事新的休闲活动。定性数据揭示了四个关于参与的支持和障碍的主题：身体能力、社会支持、可用资源和个人影响。结论：辅助生活设施中的老年人参与休闲活动的程度下降，可能面临职业剥夺的风险。职业治疗师非常适合解决这些问题。

期刊介绍： This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
