A narrative inquiry into how oldest-old care-givers of people with dementia manage age-related care-giving challenges
Oldest-old (age 80+) spousal care-givers of people with dementia experience unique challenges and concerns that they attribute to age and/or ageing, including difficulties providing care because of physical, cognitive or sensory decline; having fewer friends who can provide practical support; and having less energy for non-care-giving activities ( e.g. leisure activities, self-care). Previous research on how older care-givers manage is not specif…
Rethinking home: Exploring older adults’ occupational engagement in senior cohousing
Global demographic trends and the current limitations of housing options for older adults mean new housing models are needed for this diverse population. Alternative ways of living, like senior cohousing, are emerging. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the home environment and occupational engagement for older adults living in a Swedish cohousing model. Using a critical realist lens and case study design, interview…
Exercising senior citizenship in an ageist society through participatory action research: A critical occupational perspective
This paper analyses the experiences of a group of senior citizens living in a large Canadian city as they engaged in advocacy focused on home care services. The methodology used was participatory action research (PAR); data were collected over a 2-year period. Findings are considered within an understanding of citizenship as an occupational role, an occupational possibility constrained by conventional ageist views on ageing as reinforced and info…
Negotiating ‘positive’ aging in the presence of age-related vision loss (ARVL): The shaping and perpetuation of disability
Social media and senior citizen advocacy: An inclusive tool to resist ageism
With population aging, interest groups demand that governments act to prevent a perceived financial crisis. Senior citizens remain frustrated in their efforts to influence the response of policy-makers. In an effort to strengthen their voice, one group of senior citizens, engaged in a participatory action research project, questioned how online social media could be used in their advocacy efforts. This query led to an examination of the literatur…
Elucidating a Goal-Setting Continuum in Brain Injury Rehabilitation
For individuals with brain injury, active participation in goal setting is associated with better rehabilitation outcomes. However, clinicians report difficulty engaging these clients in goal setting due to perceived or real deficits (e.g., lack of awareness). We conducted a study using grounded theory methods to understand how clinicians from occupational therapy facilitate client engagement and manage challenges inherent in goal setting with th…
