Inhoud:
Mentally restorative activities are leisure-like experiences that range from simply looking out a window at a natural view, to participating in hobbies that absorb and interest a person. They have been associated with feelings of renewed energy and concentration, refreshment, and mental clarity. Elders, in particular, may be helped by these activities. The purpose of this study was to identify perceived barriers to engaging in mentally restorative activities. A content analysis of interview data from 30 community-dwelling elders (28 women, 2 men) revealed 11 barrier categories: Health limitations, lack of time, ageist attitudes, transportation difficulties, lack of companion, financial constraints, weather, limited opportunities, family separation, safety, and lack of space.
