Abstract
We investigated the feasibility of interventions based on the guidelines for use of meaningful and psychologically rewarding occupations as a means of improving perceived health and well-being among 21 students, faculty, and staff at a US midwestern University. Using a repeated measures design, we used the RAND SF-36, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and Meaningful Activity Participation Assessment to gather data on four variables. There was a main effect of interventions on perceived well-being, F (2, 40) = 3.74, p = .03, ɳ 2 = .40, and energy/fatigue, F (2, 40) = 4.57, p = .02, ɳ 2 = .43. The guidelines show promise as a tool for occupational therapists.
