Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/4 (juillet-aout 2012) . - p. 438-446 Titre : Effect of life review writing on depressive symptoms in older adults: a randomized controlled trial Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tracy CHIPPENDALE ; Jane BEAR-LEHMAN Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 438-446 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Personne âgée  Maison retraite  Récit autobiographique  Atelier expression  Technique simulation  Etat dépressif Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We examined the effects of engaging in the occupation-based intervention of life review through writing on expressed depressive symptoms as measured with the Geriatric Depression Scale in older adults residing in senior residences. METHOD. The study design was a randomized controlled trial that took place in four senior residences in New York City. Forty-five participants (23 treatment, 22 wait-list control) ≥65 yr old participated in the 8-wk, once-weekly autobiographical writing workshop, Share Your Life Story (Sierpina, 2002). RESULTS. Depressive symptoms were significantly less prevalent for the treatment group than for the control group after the 8-wk life review program (repeated-measures analysis of variance p = .03). CONCLUSION. The results suggest that the Share Your Life Story writing workshop is an effective occupation-based intervention for occupational therapists to use with older adults who reside in senior residences.

Falls, older adults, and the impact of the neighborhood environment / Tracy CHIPPENDALE in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/6 (novembre-décembre 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 65/6 (novembre-décembre 2011) . - p. 721 Titre : Falls, older adults, and the impact of the neighborhood environment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tracy CHIPPENDALE ; Jane BEAR-LEHMAN Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p. 721 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Vertige  Ergothérapie  Personne âgée  Prévention  Accident Résumé : Almost half of falls occur outdoors; yet, the emphasis in fall prevention has been on intrinsic factors and the indoor environment. In this article we argue that the neighborhood environment and its impact on falls warrants further attention. Occupational therapy is best suited to address these issues in collaboration with urban planners and public health professionals. Both practice and policy changes are suggested to meet the health and wellness needs of community-dwelling older adults going forward.
