Résumé
Choosing the type of treatment approach is as important as the treatment
itself, also giving and important value to internal variables in the individual that can
determine the evolution of the intervention. The main aim of this study is to determine
whether individual and/or group occupational therapy leads to changes in generalized
self-efficacy and psychological well-being, and to identify the type of therapy that has
the best effects on older adults. Groups were equivalent at baseline. The results show statistically significant
differences between the two types of therapy, showing a positive correlation between
well-being and self-efficacy, being greater at a group level than at and individual level. At
the group level, practically all of variables measured in the participants were increased
as shown in the results tables, including a better adaptation and predisposition to work
four participants died while the study was being conducted. The clinical trial shows that older people in residential centers achieve
an increase in emotional well-being and self-efficacy when they receive occupational
therapy group, rather than individual treatment not being significant changes. Treatment
group participants reported a positive experience and clinical benefits from training
program.
