“…After screening titles, abstracts and keywords, 132 articles were selected; respectively, 68 ( PubMed ), 17 ( Web of Science ) and 47 ( PsycINFO ). After reading the full text with specific attention to the mapped key elements, as described in step 1, only seven randomised controlled trials (Anderson-Hanley et al., 2003; Chang et al., 2010; Kerse et al., 2008; Peri et al., 2008; Ronnberg, 1998; Tse, 2010) and five controlled clinical trials (Chang et al., 2008; Haslam et al., 2014; Hersch et al., 2012; Hersch et al., 2012; Knight et al., 2010; Travers and Bartlett, 2011) articles remained. Overall, three types of interventions were identified, focusing on: (1) improving autonomy, (2) empowering personal choices and (3) pursuing MADL.…”

Introduction: Meaningful activities of daily living promote the quality of life of residents of long-term care facilities. This project aimed to develop an approach to enable meaningful activities of daily living and to guide long-term care facilities in a creative and innovative attitude towards residents' meaningful activities of daily living. Method: The approach was developed in six steps: (1) in-depth-interviews with 14 residents; (2) a survey with 171 residents; (3) a systematic map and synthesis review on interventions enriching meaningful activities of daily living; (4) qualitative analysis of 24 'good examples' and, to support future implementation, (5) focus groups with staff (n ¼ 69). Results determined the components of the new approach which was (6) pilot-tested in one long-term care facility. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered concerning benefits for the residents and feasibility for the staff. Results: A client-and activity-oriented approach was developed, characterised by an active participatory attitude of residents and staff and a systematic iterative process. Significant positive effects were found for the number of activities, the satisfaction with the leisure offered, the social network, medication use, but not for quality of life. The approach appeared to be feasible. Conclusion: This approach stimulates residents' meaningful activities of daily living and social life. Further investigation is needed to evaluate its outcome and implementation potentials.

“…Throughout the interview data, the focus on occupation is prevalent, taking the form of assessment and goal setting, preparatory activities, purposeful activities, skill training, actual occupational performance, and future planning, which exemplify the core concepts of occupational-based practice (6,29,30).…”

“…A variety of interventions have been examined to increase social engagement of NH residents by providing opportunities for increasing conversation, interactions, and relationship building. These include a program of indoor gardening (Tse, 2010), visits by companion animals (Prosser, Townsend, & Staiger, 2008), group reminiscence therapy (Chiang et al, 2010), integrating cultural traditions and heritage into occupational therapy sessions (Hersch et al, 2012), and videoconferencing with family members (Demiris et al, 2008; Tsai, Tsai, Wang, Chang, & Chu, 2010). Internet-based technologies, such as email, social media, online chat rooms, offer additional opportunities for improving social engagement (Crosby, Burbidge, & Mcpherson, 2013; McComish, Peura, & Richeson, 2010).…”

Social Engagement After Nursing Home Admission: Racial and Ethnic Disparities and Risk Factors

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Older adults admitted to nursing homes (NHs) are at risk for low social engagement, which has associations with medical, psychological, and social well-being. Minorities may be at a disadvantage for social engagement because of their racial or ethnic group identity. This study assessed whether there were racial/ethnic disparities in social engagement among older adults ( N = 15,927) at 1 year after their NH admission using multi-level predictors. No racial or ethnic-based disparities in social engagement were found; hence, an analysis of risk factors at NH admission that predicted low social engagement at 1 year for all residents was conducted. Significant risk factors for low social engagement were low social engagement at admission, deficits in activities in daily living and cognition, problems with vision and communication, and residing in an NH in an urban community. Results highlight the importance of initiating interventions to increase social engagement at the time of NH admission.
