          Abstract

          Purpose:

          The purpose of this 1-year longitudinal study is to investigate the change in flow experience among occupational therapy students (OTS).

          Methods:

          In December 2012, we prospectively recruited 97 OTS from the Department of Occupational Therapy, Kibi International University. To assess flow experience in daily life, we used the Flow Experience Checklist.

          Results:

          The dataset included 87 OTS, of which 75 participated in the assessment at 1 year (follow-up rate, 86.2%). The mean age at baseline of 45 male and 30 female OTS was 19.59±1.1 years (range, 18 to 24 years). A comparison of the ‘frequency of flow experience’ showed significant differences between baseline values and those after 1 year (December 2013) among male OTS (P<0.05).

          Conclusion:

          The present results indicate that, for male OTS, the frequency of flow was significantly reduced after 1 year compared with baseline values. This finding suggests the need for further education to increase the frequency of flow among male OTS.

          Flow experience and health-related quality of life in community dwelling elderly Japanese.

          Kazuki Hirao, Yumiko Tomokuni, Kyota Okishima … (2012)
          This study was performed to investigate the relationship between mental state (especially flow experience [Flow Experience Checklist of Ishimura]) health-related quality of life (Medical Outcome Study 8-Item Short-Form Health Survey), and stress (salivary amylase concentrations). The subjects were 119 healthy elderly persons living in rural areas who participated in a "meeting for the elderly" at a nursing home in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The subjects were classified into apathetic, anxious, relaxed, and flow groups. It was found that physical health was significantly better when performing important daily activities in the group who experienced flow and the relaxed group than in the group that was in an apathetic state. However, no significant relationship was observed between the degree of flow experience and stress. The present findings suggested that interventions which make the activities of daily life either "high-challenge, high-skill" situations or "low-challenge, high-skill" situations could have a positive influence on the physical health of community-living elderly Japanese. A longitudinal study should be performed in the future. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.

            Apathetic and withdrawing students in Japanese universities--with regard to Hikikomori and student apathy.

            Chiyoko Uchida (2010)
            In recent years, the increasing number of young people withdrawing from society, so called Hikikomori, has been a cause for concern in Japan. These are people who stay at home and do not work or attend school for more than 6 months. Most of them are not regarded as having any psychotic illness such as schizophrenia. With respect to college students, "student apathy" syndrome has been discussed since the 1960's.

              The relationship between self-disgust, guilt, and flow experience among Japanese undergraduates

              Kazuki Hirao, Ryuji Kobayashi (2013)
              Purpose To determine the relationship between self-disgust, guilt, and flow experience. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a convenience sample of 142 Kibi International University students (mean age, 20.09 ± 1.24 years; 85 males and 57 females). Each participant was evaluated using the Flow Experience Checklist, Self-Disgust Scale, and Situational Guilt Inventory. Correlation analysis was used to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. We employed Pearson’s partial correlations, adjusted for age and sex, using dummy variables (female = 0, male = 1). Results Analysis of the relationship between the frequency of flow experience and the Self-Disgust Scale scores showed a statistically significant negative correlation, whereas the duration of the activity and the Situational Guilt Inventory score showed a significant positive correlation. The quality of flow experience and the Situational Guilt Inventory score showed a significant positive correlation. Conclusion These findings suggest that flow experience could be helpful for those who need treatment to reduce negative emotions.
