Perceived environmental influence on participation among older adults after home-based rehabilitation

• The aim of this study was to identify how older adults perceive environmental factors to have an influence on their participation after receiving home-based rehabilitation services. The respondents were older adults of more than 65 years of age who had received home-based rehabilitation. The questionnaire Measurement of the Quality of the Environment (MQE) was used to gather the data. The results showed that, in this population of older adults, many environmental factors were perceived as do not apply or to lack influence. Factors that were perceived as facilitators for the respondent's participation came under the categories social network, social and healthcare services and commercial services, and physical environments such as the presence of technical aids within the respondents' homes. Few environmental factors were identified as barriers to participation
