Brief Summary

The increasing life expectancy and global aging population necessitate changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches. This study aims to improve Person-Centred Care in geriatric centers through meaningful activities and the role of occupational therapists and direct care professionals in developing these activities. A descriptive cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was proposed, with 10 participants.

Detailed Description

Background: Increasing life expectancy means that the ageing of populations globally is on the rise. It is therefore important to promote changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches, in which meaningful occupation serves as a basis and is supported by appropriate professional support, such as the occupational therapist and the direct care professional.

Objective: To improve Person-Centred Care in a geriatric centre, through the use of meaningful activities and to identify the role of the occupational therapist and direct care professional in the development of these activities.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional quasi-experimental pre-post single-group design is proposed. A total of 10 participants. The methodology used will be mixed. The data collection techniques and tools will be the PDC evaluation instrument pre and post intervention and a survey at the end of the project.
