Agency and Engagement: Older Adults' Experiences of Participation in Occupation during Home-Based Rehabilitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Participation is considered the main goal of rehabilitation and occupational therapy intervention. This study focuses on older adults'participation in occupations in daily life when receiving home-based rehabilitation. PURPOSE: To explore how older adults with disabilities participate in daily life subsequent to hospitalization. METHODS: A prospective case-orientated design was used, with repeated interviews with three older adults and a constant comparative method of analysis. FINDINGS: Two main categories emerged as the participants' experience of participation: "Continuing to be an agent in daily life"captured the participants' decision making, choosing, and acting in daily life. "Life itself is the agent" identified how the participants, despite their strong wishes to be agents, also could let their participation be directed by their engagement in ongoing daily life. IMPLICATIONS: The findings identified participation as a dynamic engagement ranging from individual agency, including decision-making, choosing, and acting in daily life, to letting life itself be the agent. The emphasis on agency in the participants' experiences challenges rehabilitation professionals to find further means of facilitating the clients' possibilities of being agents in their daily lives.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
