摘要：AbstractEngagement in occupational activities facilitates a sense of purpose in life. However, information about pattern of occupational activities and purpose in life amongst community-dwelling and institutionalized older people in Malaysia is scattered and inconclusive. The results of this cross-sectional study indicate that there are significant differences in occupational activities and purpose in life. Older people in the community have a higher level of engagement in occupational activities and purpose in life. Engagement in occupational activities should be encouraged to older people in institutions to facilitate a sense of purpose in life that subsequently will enhance the quality of life.
