Brief Summary

The increasing life expectancy and global aging population necessitate changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches. This study aims to improve Person-Centred Care in geriatric centers through meaningful activities and the role of occupational therapists and direct care professionals in developing these activities. A descriptive cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was proposed, with 10 participants.

Although each participant will provide their name and email address to register for the study, their data and survey results will be completely anonymous and linked to a participant code. On each measurement occasion, participants will be emailed a link to the survey and, when clicked, will be taken to the google-forms web platform that will host the surveys. The web surveys will not ask for any information that can be used to identify a specific participant, and google-forms will not record any metadata.
