许多养老院的居民都没有人住，由于不活动，他们面临着健康状况不佳的风险。本研究的目的是确定痴呆症患者在理想条件下进行活动时预测活动参与的特征。来自临床试验的数据，测试了个别规定的活动的有效性，以解决研究的目的。30名受试者连续12天每天进行20分钟的活动录像。参与的衡量标准（完成任务的时间和参与程度）取自这些录像带。单变量逻辑回归分析表明，认知状态和身体功能解释了敬业度的显著差异。通过提高参与能力，促进功能的努力可能会从规定的活动中获得更大的好处。
Many nursing home residents are unoccupied and at risk for poor health outcomes because of inactivity. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of residents with dementia that predict engagement in activities when activities are implemented under ideal conditions. Data from a clinical trial that tested the efficacy of individually prescribed activities were used to address the study aim. Thirty subjects were videotaped daily for 12 days during 20-minute activity sessions. Measures of engagement (time on task and level of participation) were taken from these videotapes. Univariate logistic regression analyses indicated that cognitive status and physical function explained a significant amount of variance in engagement. Efforts to promote function may facilitate even greater benefits from prescribed activities by improving capacity for engagement.
