| Annotation | The aim of this Swedish pilot study was to examine whether the use of the Occupational Adaptation Model increases independence and experienced health for disabled elderly in home rehabilitation in primary care. The study had an integrated design, in which the data were collected through a quasi-experimental plan in combination with semi-structured interviews with disabled older people. The data were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results indicated that the use of the model increases experienced health, and gives the occupational therapist a tool for helping disabled elderly people to understand and engage themselves in their life situations.
