- Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effectiveness of a six-week life review program on the QOL of residents living in an assisted living facility. The study consisted of three males and four females. The participants’ ages ranged from 81-96. The outcome measure used for this study was the WHOQOL-BREF as a pre and post-test. The post-test scores indicated the most significant change from the life review program was the domain focused on social relationships. The domain focused on psychological QOL also increased after completing the life review program. Results of the present study provide supporting evidence that a life review program can assist in improving the QOL of older adults living in a long-term care facility. The outcome measure results indicate that a life review program can improve QOL in the areas of psychological health and social relationships. Results imply that occupational therapy plays a role in program development and creates meaningful social and leisure activities for residents living in a long-term care facility. Keywords: occupational therapy, life review program, older adults, program development, assisted living facility, quality of life, gerontology
