Influence of Lifestyle Modification Program on Meaningful Participation and Quality of Life of Independent Taiwanese Older Adults

The LMP included 12 treatment modules which was administered by the occupational therapist with a national occupational therapist license and a certification from the USC Lifestyle Redesign® course in 2001. The experimental group engaged in 24 weekly group sessions, each lasting approximately 2 hours. Each session started with stretching, followed by knowledge sharing, group discussion, and activities participation which aligned with the session's themes and discussion topics. The four strategies, including didactic presentation, peer exchange, direct experience, and personal exploration, were employed to deliver the treatment module content. Following these strategies, the primary researcher emphasized the connection between participants' personal meanings, individual contexts, and occupations. Afterward, participants were encouraged to formulate a personalized action plan and integrate what they had learnt into their daily routine.
