Summary

The purpose of this study was to find out whether the Occupational Activities Module (Modul Aktiviti Cara Kerja - MACK) could help older adults stay more active and healthier. The study examined whether participation in the programme using MACK improved how well older adults carried out their daily activities, how strong and fit they felt, and how good their overall quality of life was.

Two groups of older adults took part. One group joined the MACK programme for 14 weeks, while the other group continued with their normal daily routines. Their ability to perform daily activities, physical fitness, and quality of life were measured at the beginning, middle, and end of the study to identify any changes or improvements.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Occupational Activities

The intervention consists of the MACK programme, a structured 14-week activity-based program designed for older adults, delivered twice weekly at PAWE. Unlike general recreational or social programs, MACK provides a standardized framework that combines four domains of engagement such as exercise, sports and games, recreational activities, and social participation. Activities include light to moderate physical exercises, culturally relevant games such as congkak, snakes and ladders, creative tasks like batik painting, and structured group interactions. Participants are encouraged to start with light activities and gradually progress in difficulty, with safety measures explained and monitored throughout. Supervisors trained in the MACK module schedule and oversaw activities using a 14-week template to ensure consistency across centers. This distinguishes the intervention from usual PAWE activities, which are unstructured and not guided by a standardized module.
