“…Recognizing the determinants of older adults’ resilience may also enable the development of evidence-based resilience interventions. It is suggested that occupational therapists may be in a unique position to provide interventions that improve the resilience of older adults given their view of daily activity, including its interpersonal and environmental components, to enable maximum adaptation in the face of difficulty and change ( Pozzi et al, 2020 ). The correlation between the two subscales further supports this recommendation, as the findings suggest that there are interactions between IDoR and EDoR.…”

Background and Objectives Previous efforts to develop a resilience measure for older adults have largely failed to consider the environmental influences on their resilience, and have primarily concentrated on the resilience of community dwelling older adults. Our objective was to validate a new multidimensional measure of resilience, the Making it CLEAR (MiC) questionnaire, for use with older adults at the point of discharge from hospital. Research Design and Methods This study tested the structure, validity and reliability of the MiC questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 34 items, which assess the ‘individual determinants of resilience’ (IDoR) and the ‘environmental determinants of resilience’ (EDoR) across two subscales. 416 adults aged from 66 to 102 years participated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), item analysis, and linear regression were undertaken. Results The IDoR subscale contained six factors which were labelled ‘self-efficacy’, ‘values’, ‘interpersonal skills’, ‘life orientation’, ‘self-care ability’ and ‘process skills’. The EDoR subscale contained five factors related to ‘person-environment fit’, ‘friends’, ‘material assets’, ‘habits’ and ‘family’. Both subscales demonstrated acceptable convergent validity and internal consistency, while individual items showed acceptable levels of discrimination and difficulty. Discussion and Implications The study provides evidence supporting the validity and quality of the MiC questionnaire. The results suggest that the MiC questionnaire could be used to identify the resilience needs of older adults at the point of hospital discharge. However, future research should identify which items of the MiC questionnaire are associated with hospital readmission, in order to develop an easily applicable screening tool for clinical practice.

“…Older adults with complex presentations are increasingly seen in the primary care sector. Occupational therapists require skills in dealing with complexity and conditions such as loneliness and boredom (Pozza et al , 2020). Furthermore, the increasing number of vulnerable people requiring occupational therapy in overleveraged health services has brought a focus on community development interventions.…”
