“…It is argued that volition influences how people anticipate, choose, experience, and interpret their occupations, as well as the extent to which they achieve satisfaction in their occupations. Several studies have demonstrated that volition and the occupational narrative that is closely related to volition are related to and predict future choices for occupation as well as patterns of occupational participation Levin, Kielhofner, Braveman, & Fogg, 2007;Neville-Jan, 1994;Peterson et al, 1999). Other studies have shown that volition influences how clients make sense of their occupational life circumstances and interpret opportunities or barriers to participate in occupation (Helfrich, Kielhofner, & Mattingly, 1994;Jonsson, Josephsson, & Kielhofner, 2001).…”

The aim of this paper is to identify and synthesize evidence concerning the most widely used contemporary occupation-focused models including Ecology of human performance; Model of human occupation; Occupational adaptation; and Person-environment-occupational performance. The paper characterizes the amount and type of evidence. Evidence found includes illustrations of how the models can be applied to understand and address a particular problem or population, basic studies that test or expand theoretical concepts, psychometric studies, studies that document therapy outcomes, and studies that examine clinical reasoning and/or practice based on the models. The four models differed widely in the amount and type of evidence available.

“…The incidence of the fear of falling is as high as 55% among older adults (Peterson et al, 1999). Experiencing the fear of falling is associated with worsening health and balance, lower mobility and activity levels, higher levels of handicap and psychological distress, and poorer quality of life (Yardley & Smith, 2002).…”

“…One’s personal sense of ability and control influences one’s motivation to engage in valued activities and occupations (Kielhofner, 2008; Peterson et al, 1999; Peterson, Kielhofner, Tham, & von Koch, 2010). Because self-efficacy theory directly links self-efficacy to participation in and performance of activity, addressing low fall-related efficacy may indeed enhance occupational engagement and provide an important adjunct to occupational therapy treatment that is in need of further investigation.…”

OBJECTIVE Fear of falling can lead to restricted activity, but little is known about how this fear affects different aspects of people’s lives. This study examined the relationship between fall-related efficacy (i.e., confidence or belief in one’s ability to perform activities without losing balance or falling) and activity and participation. METHOD We conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing community-dwelling older adults’ fall-related efficacy to measures of activity or participation. RESULTS An examination of 20 cross-sectional and prospective studies found a strong positive relationship between fall-related efficacy and activity (r = .53; 95% CI [.47, .58]). An insufficient number of studies examining fall-related efficacy and participation were available for analysis. CONCLUSION Low fall-related efficacy may be an important barrier to occupational engagement for many older adults and warrants careful consideration by occupational therapists. Future research should explore interventions that target fall-related efficacy and examine their effects on activity performance and engagement.
