The Relationship

Introduction Increased attention has focused on the importance of time spent by ageing adults in volunteering. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse literature exploring the relationship between time spent volunteering and quality of life for adults over the age of 50 years. Method Electronic searches of nine databases located relevant articles involving adults over the age of 50 in volunteering activities that included psychological, physical and social quality of life domains. The quality of the selected articles was assessed and data extracted using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Results Of the 65 articles retrieved, 22 were reviewed and eight included in the final review. Studies included one randomised controlled trial, one cross-sectional and six longitudinal studies. Levels of time spent volunteering by participants within the studies varied considerably. Articles retrieved reported positive quality of life outcomes including increases in life satisfaction, self-esteem and social support and a slowed functional decline. Conclusion Volunteering is identified as an important occupation for adults over the age of 50, although the relationship between time spent volunteering and the impact on quality of life outcomes is still not fully understood. Future research is required to better understand the impact of time spent volunteering on quality of life.

The Relationship

Abstract Although Medicaid managed care is a growing service model, there is a limited evidence base regarding quality and value-based payment standards for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This study examined the relationship between emergency room utilization and quality of life outcomes. We analyzed secondary Personal Outcome Measures quality of life and emergency room utilization data from 251 people with IDD. According to our findings, people with IDD with continuity and security in their lives and/or who participated in the life of the community had fewer emergency room visits, regardless of their impairment severity or dual diagnosis status. As such, the number of emergency room visits needed, and the potential expenditures associated, may be reduced by focusing on quality outcomes.
