Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between HRQOL and the challenges of daily living which recognized the older adults in a temporary housing after the disaster, and to clarify the characteristics of the challenges. We used Occupational Self Assessment, ver.2 to evaluate the challenges of daily living. As a result, there was a correlation between the challenges of daily living and HRQOL. And the challenges of daily living differed by gender, the challenges related to leisure were recognized in men, and the challenges related to the effective use of one’s abilities were recognized in women. The results of present study clearly showed that the challenges of daily living of elderly in a temporary housing should be supported from the viewpoint of occupational therapy.
