Abstract
In this study, we conducted a quantitative cross-sectional evaluation of the relationships between self-related health and occupational form, occupational performance, and occupational satisfaction. The participants were 675 community-dwelling subjects (283 men, 392 women) who completed a self-administered questionnaire. From this data, we performed a multiple logistic regression analysis using the high and low values of self-rated health as the dependent variables and the characteristics of occupational form, occupational performance, and occupational satisfaction as the independent variables. There were three analysis models: Model 1, which mutually adjusted for all the independent variables; Model 2, with adjustment of the basic attributes, in addition to the first model; and Model 3, which was based on Model 2, but also adjusted for diseases. In all three models, high self-rated health was significantly correlated with high occupational performance scores. These findings confirmed that supporting occupational performance improvement is useful for improving self-rated health.
