- Used the model of human occupation as a conceptual framework to
- examine the relationship between the number and meaningfulness of
- roles performed and life satisfaction in 112 noninstitutionalized
- elderly persons (aged 65-91 yrs). Results suggest a positive,
- significant relationship between life satisfaction and the number of
- roles performed and the level of involvement in meaningful roles.
- Findings support the basic premise of occupational therapy, that
- occupation can maintain and/or restore health. (PsycLIT Database
