概要 Importance: The demand for effective home-based rehabilitation is increasing with the aging global population. Occupational therapy supports older adults in maintaining and improving activity and participation; however, standardized intervention approaches, consistent outcome measures, and goal-setting frameworks are still lacking.

Objective: To systematically map current home-based occupational therapy interventions aimed at enhancing activity and participation among community-dwelling older adults and identify research gaps in intervention methods, evaluations, and designs.

Data sources: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ichushi Web, and J-Stage were searched without time restrictions. Additional relevant studies were identified manually.

Study selection and data collection: Studies involving community-dwelling adults age 65 yr or older were included. Data on intervention strategies, outcome measures, and research designs were extracted and categorized by using qualitative methods.

Findings: Fifty-four studies were included. Interventions ranged from activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADLs (IADLs) training and environmental modifications to structured programs such as Community Aging in Place-Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) and Reablement. However, outcome measures were highly diverse (126 unique tools), and 16 nonstandardized assessments were identified, mostly in case reports. Although many studies showed positive effects, the diversity of study designs and limited use of remote interventions hindered generalizability and long-term evidence building.

Conclusions and relevance: Home-based occupational therapy can positively affect older adults' activity, participation, and quality of life. However, standardized evaluation methods, integration of remote approaches, and culturally tailored intervention programs are needed to strengthen evidence and guide clinical practice. Plain-Language Summary: This review examined studies on home-based occupational therapy for older adults. Interventions often targeted activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and environmental adaptations. Most occupational therapy interventions showed benefits in everyday function and well-being. However, a lack of standardized tools and goal-setting methods, variation in study quality, and limited evidence on remote rehabilitation remain challenges.
