Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Nursing home residents may have difficulty maintaining occupational balance. The study aimed to explore occupational balance in nursing home residents, and examine the association between occupational balance and quality of life in this group. Methods: Forty-six nursing home residents (age range 69-101 years) in Norway were recruited to participate. The data were analyzed descriptively and with independent t-tests and Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho (rs). Results: The participants’ occupational balance (M = 20.7) was in the higher end of the scale. In the total sample, occupational balance and quality of life were not significantly associated (rs = 0.18, p = 0.23). However, splitting the sample by gender revealed a positive association for men (rs = 0.61, p = 0.01), while it was absent for women (rs = −0.00, p = 0.99). Conclusion: When assessing occupational balance and its correlates in elderly nursing home residents, gender appears important to consider.

疗养院住客的职业平衡与生活品质

摘要简介:疗养院居民可能难以维持职业平衡。本研究旨在探讨疗养院居民的职业平衡，并检视职业平衡与生活品质的关系。方法:招募挪威46名养老院居民(年龄69-101岁)参与研究。对数据进行描述性分析，采用独立t检验和Spearman相关系数rho (rs)。结果:被试的职业平衡(M = 20.7)处于较高水平。在总样本中，职业平衡与生活质量无显著相关(rs = 0.18, p = 0.23)。然而，按性别划分样本显示，男性呈正相关(rs = 0.61, p = 0.01)，而女性则不存在(rs = - 0.00, p = 0.99)。结论:在评估养老院老人的职业平衡及其相关因素时，性别似乎是一个重要的考虑因素。
