Abstract

Abstract Aims Transition Care Programs support older adults to return home post hospital admission. This study explored the experiences of older adults who identified therapy goals relating to out-of-home occupations. Methods In this convergent mixed methods study, we assessed 10 older adults using the Meaningful Activity Participation Assessment and the Life-space Questionnaire, followed by in-depth interviews to explore out-of-home occupational engagement. Results Participants described continued engagement in out-of-home occupations, albeit adapted due to their changing health. They reported experiencing an ongoing health and occupational journey which required them to actively consider barriers and enablers to their occupational engagement. These adults were skilled in analyzing their own performance and engagement in out-of-home occupations. Conclusion Older adults make progressive adaptations to maintain their occupational engagement. They are experts in analyzing enablers and barriers for out-of-home occupations and should be proactively invited to share their expertise during therapy.

老年人在外工作的参与:从医院到家庭的转变

目的过渡护理项目支持老年人住院后返回家中。本研究探讨了确定与家庭外职业相关的治疗目标的老年人的经验。方法采用“有意义活动参与量表”和“生活空间问卷”对10名老年人进行问卷调查，并采用深度访谈法对其进行调查。结果参与者描述继续从事户外职业，尽管由于他们的健康变化而适应。他们报告说，他们经历了一段持续的健康和职业之旅，这要求他们积极考虑职业参与的障碍和促进因素。这些成年人善于分析自己在户外工作中的表现和投入。结论老年人通过渐进式适应维持其职业投入。他们是分析家庭外职业的促成因素和障碍的专家，应该在治疗期间主动邀请他们分享他们的专业知识。

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.
