Effets du Lifestyle Redesign chez les aînés : une recension systématique

Abstract

Background.: The Lifestyle Redesign® (LR) aims to support health, functioning, and quality of life of older adults through the development of healthy and meaningful routines. However, evidence concerning the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this intervention is scattered. Purpose.: This study aimed to synthetize the clinical effects and cost-effectiveness of the LR as well as to verify the applicability of the results in a community-based setting in Quebec. Method.: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, followed by a focus group with four occupational therapists. Findings.: Considered as cost-effective (under $50,000 in quality-adjusted life-years), the LR offers benefits for both mental and physical health. According to occupational therapists, the LR is clearly relevant for their practice but involves some challenges. Implications.: The LR is an occupational therapy intervention with promising clinical effects and cost-effectiveness for older adults living in the community.
