| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of occupational therapy for older people was conducted. Two of the studies (one was preventive occupational therapy (#3) and the other was occupational therapy for dementia(#5)) found a significant effect and confirmed the cost effectiveness of occupational therapy for older people compared to the control group. We developed an iPad application called the Aid for Decision-making in Occupation Choice(ADOC) to promote shared decision-making in activities and participation level(occupation)-based goal setting by choosing from illustrations describing daily activities.We hypothesized that interventions based on occupation-based goal setting using the ADOC could focus on meaningful activities (occupation-based approach) that could improve quality of life (QOL) and independent ADLs, resulting in greater cost-effectiveness.The results suggest that occupational therapy using the ADOC for older residents might be effective and cost-effective.
