Äldre personers utomhusaktiviteter i stadsmiljö under sommaren : en explorativ tvärsnittsstudie / Older people's outdoor-activities in urban environment during the summer : An exploratory cross-sectional study

Lilliehorn, Anna, Sanfridsson, Victoria January 2024 (has links)
Bakgrund: För människor som bor i Sverige har utomhusaktiviteter en betydande roll gällande traditioner, identitet samt dagliga rutiner. Det blir vanligare att äldre personer bosätter sig i stadsmiljö och utför utomhusaktiviteter i närheten av sitt hem. Mer kunskap behövs om vilka utomhusaktiviteter äldre personer utför under sommaren. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga äldre personers utomhusaktiviteter i stadsmiljö under sommaren i Sverige. Metod: En kvantitativ explorativ enkätstudie baserad på befintlig data insamlad via ett bekvämlighetsurval i en tidigare undersökning. Urvalet bestod av 687 personer, 65 år och äldre som var hemmaboende. För statistisk analys användes Mann-Whitney U-test. Resultat: Deltagarna utför en mängd olika utomhusaktiviteter. Det finns en skillnad i hur ofta deltagarna utför utomhusaktiviteter beroende på ålder och boendeform. Slutsats: Äldre personer utför många utomhusaktiviteter i stadsmiljö under sommaren vilket bidrar till ett hälsosamt åldrande. Att promenera, äta och fika samt vistas i naturen tillhör de vanligaste förekommande utomhusaktiviteterna. Implikationer: Studien kan hjälpa arbetsterapeuter verksamma inom stadsplanering att främja äldre personers delaktighet samt inspirera yrkesverksamma till förebyggande interventioner i arbetet med äldre personer utifrån äldre personers utomhusaktiviteter. / Introduction: Engaging in outdoor-activities offers numerous benefits. For people living in Sweden outdoor activities have a significant role in terms of traditions, identity and daily routines. It’s increasingly common for people to settle in urban environments, including the elderly population. Many of the older population's physical outdoor activities occur in proximity to their homes. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to map older people's outdoor activities in an urban environment during summer in Sweden. Method: This is a quantitative exploratory survey study using pre-existing data obtained through convenience sampling from a previous survey. The sample consisted of 687 people aged 65 and older, living at home. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test was performed for difference analysis. Results: Participants perform various outdoor activities to varying degrees. There´s a difference in how often performance of outdoor activities takes place depending on how old they are or what living situation they have. Conclusion: Elderly perform many outdoor activities in urban environments during summer, which promotes healthy-ageing. The most common outdoor activities is Walking, Eating and Spending time in nature. Implications: The study can assist occupational therapists working in urban planning to promote the participation of elderly and inspire professionals to implement preventive interventions based on the outdoor activities of older people.
