【論文の内容の要旨】
Objective The Leisure Activity Enjoyment Scale (LAES) is used to understand activities that provide enjoyment for elderly people with a disability in Japan. It helps the therapist understand not only what activities the person enjoys, but also, why they enjoy it. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the elderly version of the Leisure Activity Enjoyment Scale.
Method Firstly, 286 elderly participants with a disability were recruited and interviewed using the 29 item LAES as a guide. Item and factor analysis of the data from these respondents were conducted. Secondly, 102 participants were recruited and test-retest reliability and
criterion-related validity were assessed from the data.
Result Item-total correlations and Good-poor analysis quality were
considered adequate for all items included in the LAES. However, as the results from the exploratory factor analysis revealed 11 items with low loadings on the factors, these were subsequently removed. As a result, the final solution involved a number of 5 factors and 18 items overall. These factors included ‘pleasure from thoughts of enjoyment from the past, present or future’; ‘the enjoyment provided through

interacting with others’; the enjoyment of achieving through accomplishment’; ‘the enjoyment of thinking’ and ‘the enjoyment of experiencing affirmative change in the mind and body’, and whole item α coefficient was 0.81. The test-retest reliability was 0.85, and criterion-related validity was 0.56.
Conclusion The factor analysis revealed a stable structure and secure fixed reliability and validity. Whilst further research is still required, this paper therefore concludes that the LAES is a reliable and valid tool that occupational therapists can use to evaluate the past leisure-time activities of elderly people.
