Abstract
Introduction This narrative inquiry study aimed to explore older adults’ stories about how they have coped to maintain occupational engagement, despite living with age-related vision loss (ARVL). Methods Six older adults, ≥ 60 years of age with ARVL participated in three interviews each, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Coping was grouped into three overarching themes namely psychological, social, and behavioral coping strategies. Conclusion Results from this study have identified how older adults with ARVL cope to maintain participation in occupations. Findings highlight the need for increased healthcare support, including occupational therapists, to help older adults aging with vision loss identify and integrate adaptive coping strategies to enhance their occupational lives.
