This study investigated quality of life, occupation and prosthesis use among Taiwanese elders with lower extremity amputation from an occupational science and occupational therapy perspective. The research design involved quantitative instrument and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative descriptive and inferential statistical procedures with standard health-related quality of life measures, the SF-36 Taiwan and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment - Taiwan short version, and a demographic data form investigated quality of life and prosthesis use among elderly amputees. Interviews gave insight into how amputation changed life quality, and occupation.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study investigated quality of life, occupation and prosthesis use among Taiwanese elders with lower extremity amputation from an occupational science and occupational therapy perspective. The research design involved quantitative instrument and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative descriptive and inferential statistical procedures with standard health-related quality of life measures, the SF-36 Taiwan and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment - Taiwan short version, and a demographic data form investigated quality of life and prosthesis use among elderly amputees. Interviews gave insight into how amputation changed life quality, and occupation.
520 $a The quantitative study included 90 participants with a mean age of 71.3. Multiple regressions revealed less social support correlating with reduced quality of life. Higher level of amputation, less prosthesis use, presence of helper, and presence of other disease were associated with reduced scores on the quality of life measures. No statistical relationship was found between socioeconomic status and quality of life nor between age, gender, level of amputation and prosthesis use. Non-hypothesized but significant relationships found that people living at home wore their prostheses significantly more than people living in institutions, and more years since amputation predicted more frequent prosthesis wearing. Independent-t tests found little significant difference in quality of life between the sample of elders with amputations and Taiwanese normative data. The two health-related quality of life measures correlated moderately, as expected, and demonstrated validity and reliability for use with this group.
520 $a One-third of the participants were interviewed. Results showed that life attitude, previous life experience, relationship with family, resources and aging related to their quality of life. Amputation influenced their mobility, leisure, social activities and relationships. Prosthesis use supported participation in daily activities and provided psychological meaning. Both quantitative results and interview findings demonstrate that more social support relates to higher quality of life. Findings suggest that it is not only important that elderly amputees use prosthesis to maintain functional mobility, but also engage in occupations and maintain/obtain social relationships with family and society.
