Get in touch with leisure: a community-based therapeutic recreation programme for older adults during COVID-19
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increased risk of social isolation among older adults as public health measures discouraged engagement in leisure opportunities outside of the home. The Get in Touch with Leisure programme was a telephone-based community therapeutic recreation programme designed for older adults who were living on low income. The programme aimed to support participants in achieving leisure-related goals and increasing engagement in meaningful leisure. The purpose of this article is to explore programme participants’ experiences with leisure both before and after their engagement in the programme. We interviewed five participants before participation in the programme and again at the conclusion of the programme. We analyzed the transcripts thematically, generating two main themes. The first theme, life during lockdown, reflects participants’ experiences while COVID public health measures were in place, prior to their participation in the programme. The second theme, reconnecting with leisure, demonstrates how after participation in the programme, participants experienced increased motivation to engage in leisure and perceived increases in health and well-being. This research supports the notion that a telephone-based community therapeutic recreation programme is a feasible approach for implications beyond the effects of the pandemic.

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.
