Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Engagement in prolonged sedentary behaviors negatively impacts health. Sedentary behavior and perceived occupational performance were explored among community-dwelling older adults. In this pretest–posttest study, a goal-based approach to OT was used for intervention. While additional research is needed, participant-developed goals involving meaningful occupations may impact occupational performance and sedentary behavior among community-dwelling older adults.

Background: The present study examined the cluster of domain-specific sedentary behaviors (SBs) and their associations with physical function among community-dwelling older adults to identify the target groups that require intervention for SBs. Methods: A total of 314 older adults who participated in a population-based cross-sectional survey and an on-site functional assessment in Matsudo City in Chiba participated in this study. Participants were asked to report the daily average of 6 domain-specific SBs. To identify the cluster of domain-specific SBs, hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using the Ward method. Analysis of covariance adjusted for sociodemographic factors, exercise habit, chronic disease, and total SB time was performed to examine the associations between each cluster and physical functional status. Results: The average age of the participants was 74.5 (5.2) years. The 4 clusters identified were leisure cluster, low cluster, work and personal computer use cluster, and television viewing cluster. The analysis of covariance adjusted for covariates showed that grip strength (P = .01), maximum walking speed (P = .03), and 1-leg standing time (P = .03) were significantly poorer in the television viewing cluster than other clusters. Conclusions: It has been concluded that the television viewing group identified as a high-risk group of physical functional decline; therefore, interventions targeting this group are needed to prevent physical functional decline.

Older adults spend more time, on average, engaged in sedentary behaviors (SBs) compared with younger cohorts. This is concerning, because prolonged SB is associated with detrimental outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the degree to which older adults’ motives to limit their SB were internalized, consistent with self-determination theory. Following the qualitative description approach, seven focus groups (n = 27) of community-dwelling older adults were conducted. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and coded using a thematic approach. Results revealed some motivation subthemes, which appeared to endorse similar content, varied in the degree to which participants internalized them, differentiating these motives along the self-determination theory motivational continuum. These findings demonstrated that not all motives are equal, highlighting the importance of theory-driven future SB interventions.

Abstract Date Presented 04/20/21 OT contributes to productive aging by facilitating occupation-based groups, such as volunteering, in order to increase older adults' participation in the community. This poster will address the effectiveness of a volunteer program on community-dwelling older adults' self-perceptions. Volunteer exploration and participation may serve to promote an individual's psychosocial well-being and quality of life.
