简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in the EuroQol-5 Dimension questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline and 10 weeks
The EQ-5D defines health in five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety or depression). The EQ-5D also has a visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) that enables self-assessment on a scale from 0 (worst possible health) to 100 (best possible health).
Change in the Medical Outcome Study 8-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline and 10 weeks
The SF-8 encompasses eight domains: general health, physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health, which can be combined to yield a physical component summary score and a mental component summary score.
