The Activity Card Sort (ACS) can both record the clients' participation and any changes, which is a useful tool for practitioners to establish tailored occupation-focused goals. However, there is a limitation to apply the ACS to Japanese older adults as it consists of culturally relevant activities in the United States. The aim of this study was to select activity items reflecting Japanese older adults' lifestyles and opinions to develop the Activity Card Sort-Japan Version (ACS-JPN). In the item selection process, a two-round questionnaire survey was conducted for community-dwelling Japanese older adults (Round 1: n = 177, M age = 69.9 years; Round 2: n = 178, M age = 74.9 years). Seventy-two activity items were finally included in the ACS-JPN and were classified into four domains. The ACS-JPN has some unique features compared with other ACS versions. This study only selected activity items. Further work on psychometric properties is needed.
活动卡片分类法（ACS）既能记录客户的参与情况及任何变化，这对从业者确定以职业为重点的个性化目标而言是个有用的工具。然而，将ACS应用于日本老年人存在局限性，因为它包含美国文化相关的活动。本研究的目的是选择反映日本老年人生活方式和观点的活动项目，以开发日本版活动卡片分类法（ACS-JPN）。在项目选择过程中，对居住在社区的日本老年人进行了两轮问卷调查（第一轮：n = 177，平均年龄 = 69.9岁；第二轮：n = 178，平均年龄 = 74.9岁）。最终，72个活动项目被纳入ACS-JPN，并分为四个领域。与其他版本的ACS相比，ACS-JPN有一些独特之处。本研究仅选择了活动项目。还需要进一步研究其心理测量特性。
