An Activity Program for Older People
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Older people in an institution live in a sedentary lifestyle. They lose their autonomy, seldom engage in activities and did not have a meaningful social relationship. These issues lead to decreased in quality of life (QoL). The aim of this randomised trial is to determine the effectiveness of a lifestyle redesign programme, i.e. the Lively Later Life Programme (3LP) on QoL. Eighty-two older people who fit the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the 3LP group and the control group. At the end of six months, there is a significant change in physical, psychological and social domains of QoL.
