The aim of this study was to explore how older women living alone with chronic musculoskeletal pain, describe their ability in performing activities in everyday life and what could promote their ability in activities in everyday life as well as their perceived meaning of a changed ability to perform activities in everyday life.
Qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 women, and an inductive content analysis was used.
The results showed the importance of a daily rhythm of activities. Activities included in the daily rhythm were socializing with family and friends, physical activities, doing own activities as well as activities supported by relatives and the community. The activities described by the women also promoted their ability in activities in everyday life. Other findings were the women's perceived meaning of being independent and maintaining that independency, along with the meaning of accepting and adapting to a changed life situation.
This paper concludes that it is important to be sensitive of individual needs regarding the daily rhythm of activities when health-care professionals intervene in the activities in everyday life of older women living alone, promote the women's independency, and enable them to participate in the community.

本研究旨在探讨独自生活且患有慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的老年女性如何描述她们在日常生活中进行活动的能力，以及什么能够促进她们在日常生活中的活动能力，还有她们对日常生活中活动能力变化的感知意义。
对12名女性进行了定性访谈，并采用归纳式内容分析法。
结果显示了日常活动节奏的重要性。日常节奏中包含的活动有与家人和朋友社交、体育活动、进行自己的活动以及亲属和社区支持的活动。这些女性描述的活动也促进了她们在日常生活中的活动能力。其他发现包括这些女性对独立以及维持这种独立性的感知意义，还有接受和适应生活状况变化的意义。
本文得出结论，当医疗保健专业人员干预独自生活的老年女性的日常生活活动、促进其独立性并使其能够参与社区活动时，对个体在日常活动节奏方面的需求保持敏感很重要。康复启示 日常活动节奏对独自生活且患有慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的老年女性很重要。医疗保健专业人员对个体需求保持敏感以促进日常生活活动能力并将日常活动纳入日常节奏的重要性。尽管她们在管理日常生活方面需要环境的帮助，但要促进这些女性独立的愿望和意志。
