- Brief Summary
This study developed Colour Narrative and quantitatively and qualitatively explored its effects. As a result, the harsh living conditions due to heavy snowfall reduced the participants' overall activity. In this environment, Colour Narrative encouraged them to control their lives more in their own ways and enhanced their HRQOL. The core of their experiences was 'negating occupations'. This negotiation was a highly intellectual task that significantly improved their cognitive function.
