Question 23

whats engagement

Answer 23

Being engaged is a process that includes initiating and maintaining participation in daily activities. During times of optimal engagement, individuals may not be aware of time passing, and may feel energized and/or a sense of peace. When not optimally engaged, individuals could either feel bored (one end of the continuum) or overwhelmed (other end of the continuum).

Question 24

whats meaning

Answer 24

The meaning of activities is shaped by individual history, values and experiences, thus meaning will be as diverse as the individuals engaging in them. A ‘simple’ activity such as cooking a meal, for example, could be viewed as a unwelcome chore or as a source of enjoyment; it could also have symbolic meaning in the context of cultural celebrations. When day-to-day activities are full of meaning, then health and well-being can flourish. Conversely, the negative impact of a loss of meaningful activity can be significant.

Question 25

whats balance

Answer 25

Balance involves finding the ‘right’ amount and the ‘right’ variation in how people use their time. Optimal balance involves finding a match between what someone wants to do and their actual activity patterns, in a way that meets their instrumental and social needs, and/or feel engaged, challenged and competent. Too much or too little of any activity can be detrimental to health and well-being.

Question 26

whats choice/control

Answer 26

Choice determines the types of activities that the individual will engage in and control involves deciding how they will act on these choices. Choice and a sense of control over what to do and how to do it are key prerequisites to health and well-being. People get a sense of control over their lives and their future by choosing, shaping and orchestrating their daily occupations. Too much choice can be stressful, but on the other end of the continuum; when choice in day-to-day activities is limited or taken away, people may lose their sense of autonomy.

Question 27

whats routine

Answer 27

Routines are regular, repetitive, predictable patterns of time use, including habits, rituals and the rhythms of life. They can be a source of stability, familiarity and predictability. During times of transition in life stages and roles, typical routines may be disrupted. Ideally, routines should be flexible and autonomous.
