Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects on health-related QOL of occupational therapy involving the adjustment of challenge-skill balance in the activity of elderly clients.
Detailed Description:
This study was single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Clients were randomly assigned by blocked randomization (block size 4) to either the experimental group (occupational therapy that included assessment and adjustment of the challenge-skill balance of the activities) or to the control group (occupational therapy as normally conducted at the day care center). Randomization was stratified by sex and EuroQol visual analogue scale, resulting in four layers. The primary outcome was change in health-related quality of life after 10 sessions of occupational therapy. Clients were assessed before the intervention (pre-test) and after the 10th session (post-test). Significant differences were observed in the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) score and in the Medical Outcome Study 8-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8) scores for general health, physical functioning , and vitality.
