 There is little evidence that meaningful occupation has an important influence on health and well-being. Moreover, there are few longitudinal studies. Especially in Japan, there are only a few studies investigating the relationship between meaningful occupation and health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of participating in meaningful occupations on Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QOL). We carried out a six-month follow-up survey for 470 community dwelling inhabitants over 50 years old in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Of the 470 participants, 398 people were chosen as subjects (90 men, 308 women, mean age 63.2, range 50-79). The participation in meaningful occupations was measured by the Self-completed Occupational Performance Index (SOPI), and the HR-QOL was measured by the SF-36v2. The SOPI was based on the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance to measure the quality of participation in meaningful occupations and consisted of nine items. Through data analysis, a multiple regression analysis was carried out. We assumed the SOPI score as an independent variable and the SF-36v2 scores as dependent variables. The data analysis indicated that the change in the SOPI score during the six month period had a positive influence on Role Physical (RP), Bodily Pain (BP), General Health perceptions (GH), Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Mental Health (MH) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) of SF-36v2 after being adjusted for age, sex and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, we conclude that the improvement of the quality of participation in meaningful occupations had a positive influence on HR-QOL, particularly with regards to the mental aspect.
