Abstract

Introduction Facilitating occupational engagement in residents with psychiatric disabilities living in supported housing is important, because meaningful occupation is closely related to wellbeing. The aim was to explore whether residents taking part in the intervention Active in My Home (AiMH) made any changes in activity and recovery from baseline to completed AiMH; whether satisfaction with AiMH was related to any changes; and if changes between baseline and completed AiMH were stable at follow-up. Method AiMH consists of eight sessions for residents and includes workshops for staff. This no-control study involved seven supported housing units and 29 residents who took part in data collection at the start and completion of AiMH and at follow-up after 6–9 months. Outcomes concerned occupational engagement, the unit’s provision of meaningful activity, personal recovery, psychosocial functioning and symptom severity. Findings Improvements occurred in the AiMH participants’ occupational engagement ( Z = −2.63, p = 0.008) and personal recovery ( Z = −1.98, p = 0.048) from start to completion of AiMH. The improvement on occupational engagement was stable at follow-up ( Z = −3.01, p = 0.005), when also psychosocial functioning ( Z = −2.39, p = 0.017) and psychiatric symptoms ( Z = −2.42, p = 0.016) had improved. Conclusion This study could not show whether the improvements were due to AiMH or other factors. The findings are still promising, however, and encourage further development and testing of AiMH.

  • When used to measure outcomes of the Active in My Home (AiMH) lifestyle intervention for people living in supported housing, significant improvements in activity engagement measured by POES and personal recovery measured by QPR between baseline and completion were reported.

    “Further, when used to measure the outcomes of a lifestyle intervention, Active in My Home (AiMH), for people living in supported housing, significant improvements in activity engagement measured by POES and personal recovery measured by QPR (59, 60) between baseline and completion of the AiMH intervention were reported (51).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
