Abstract

Abstract Aim: Productive aging is seen to have a positive influence on an individual’s health and is vital in the quality of life for older adults. Occupational therapists promote productive aging both in the individual and community level, yet little is known about productive aging from older adults. With phenomenology, authors aimed to explain the phenomenon of productive aging through older adults’ perspectives. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted on eight participants from a densely populated village in Cebu, Philippines. Results: Through thematic analysis, three themes emerged: (1) living life to its fullest as occupational beings, (2) physical and financial limitations as occupational limitations of aging, and (3) satisfaction with social responsibility as one’s purpose. Conclusion: Collaborative efforts between occupational therapists and communities are needed to draft programs to provide older adults opportunities for socialization and volunteer and civic work. Communities are called to actively involve older adults in their activities.

职业视角对老年人生产老化的影响:职业治疗的意义

摘要目的：生产性衰老被认为对个人健康有积极影响，对老年人的生活质量至关重要。职业治疗师在个人和社区层面促进生产性衰老，但对老年人的生产性衰老知之甚少。通过现象学，作者旨在通过老年人的视角来解释生产性衰老现象。方法：对来自菲律宾宿务一个人口稠密村庄的八名参与者进行深入访谈。结果：通过主题分析，出现了三个主题：（1）作为职业存在充分地生活，（2）作为老龄化的职业限制的身体和经济限制，以及（3）对社会责任的满足感。结论：职业治疗师和社区需要合作起草方案，为老年人提供社会化、志愿和公民工作的机会。呼吁社区积极让老年人参与他们的活动。

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.
