Effects of a control-relevant therapeutic recreation intervention on older adults' perceived leisure competence and control
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of control-relevant therapeutic recreation intervention on perceived leisure competence and control among older adults attending a hospital day centre program. Gerontology literature supports the contention that control-enhancing interventions affect physical and psychological well-being, and contribute to increased life satisfaction and successful aging of older individuals. This investigation was a pioneer attempt to assess the relationship between control and psychological variables in older adults living independently and attending a community based hospital day centre. Thirty-four older adults, age 55 and over, who attended the Concordia Hospital Day Centre in Summer of 1999 participated in this investigation. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions (i.e. enhanced control and responsibility group and no personal control group). Those assigned to the experimental group participated in a seven week control enhancing recreationprogram designed to increase perceptions of leisure competence and control. Pre- and post-intervention data collection interviews were conducted with each participant. The results from this research indicated that control relevant therapeutic recreation intervention may be a vehicle by which older individuals with decreased mental and/or physical functioning can enhance leisure competence and control.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
