<p>This study aimed to examine the construct-related validity of the Japanese version of The Health Enhancement Lifestyle Profile (HELP), in the hope of helping ensure a healthy lifestyle expectancy in Japan, a country with an aging population. Methods: A web-based survey was conducted using a prototype of the Japanese version of the HELP on a sample of 180 community-dwelling adults aged 55 years or older. Factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) was performed to attest the construct validity of the Japanese version of the HELP. Results and Conclusions: The factor analysis results confirmed a 24-item, 6-factor structure. The confirmatory factor analysis results revealed a highly compatible factor structure with CMIN/DF = 1.435, CFI = 0.980, GFI = 0.949, and RMSEA = 0.049. The factor structure differed from the original version, which had seven factors. We will continue to examine the reliability, criterion-related validity, and responsiveness of the Japanese version of HELP in order to introduce it to the local community.</p>

Human occupation is the reason for the existence of both occupational Therapy and Occupational Sci- ence. However, until recently, no serious effort was made to define human occupation precisely, differentiate between types of occupations as experienced phenomena, and identify characteristics that make occupations healing. This paper will: 1)discuss the proposition that meaningful occupations enhance health and well-being; 2)argue that not all meaningful occupations are the same, and psychologically rewarding occupations are different from other types of meaningful occupations; 3)propose that the pursuit of meaningful and psychologically rewarding occupations has an evolutionary basis for the human species; 4)suggest that we need both meaningful and psychologically rewarding occupations to stay healthy; 5)introduce a protocol for the use of meaningful and psychologically rewarding occupations as media in occupational therapy interventions; 6)suggest future directions in occupational science for use of tools borrowed from the special theory of relativity in physics to investigate with increased precision occupational participation; and 7)discuss how knowledge based on this inquiry may be used to improve occupational therapy practice.

人間の作業は,作業療法と作業科学の存在理由である.しかし,最近まで,人間の作業を正確に定義し,経験される現象としての作業の種類を区別し,作業が持つ治癒の働きを明らかにするための努力はなされていなかった.本講演では以下について論じる.1)意味のある作業は健康とウェルビーイングを高めるという命題について,2)すべての意味のある作業が同じではなく,心理的報酬(やりがい)のある作業は他のタイプの意味のある作業とは異なること,3)意味のある・心理的報酬のある作業を追求することは,人類にとって進化的な基盤があること,4)健康でいるためには,意味のある作業と心理的報酬(やりがい)のある作業の両方が必要であること,5)作業療法介入におけるメディア(媒体)として,意味のある・心理的報酬(やりがい)のある作業を使用するための手順,6)物理学の(アインシュタインの)場の方程式から借用したツールを用いて,作業参加をより正確に調査するための作業科学の今後の方向性,7)この調査に基づく知識が,作業療法実践の改善にどのように利用できるか.(著者抄録)
