“…Furthermore, there was a considerable loss of study participants over the follow-up period, which is standard in studies of people with severe mental health conditions (Argentzell et al, 2012;Bengtsson-Tops, 2004). This may jeopardize representativity and both internal and external validity.…”

“…Empowerment is defined here as the control over one's life and recovery process (Rogers, Chamberlin, Ellison, & Crean, 1997). Furthermore, comparative studies have shown that day center attendees tend to have more valued activities than non-attendees, but that they were not more satisfied with everyday activities in general (Argentzell, Leufstadius, & Eklund, 2012). The day center attendees also had a larger number of social contacts in general, but not more close ones (Argentzell, Leufstadius, & Eklund, 2013).…”

A freedom-of-choice reform within mental health day center services was evaluated. The reform aimed to 1) facilitate users' change between units and 2) increase the availability of service providers. Seventy-eight users responded to questionnaires about the reform, empowerment, social network, engagement and satisfaction and were followed-up after 15 months.Fifty-four percent knew about the reform. A majority stated the reform meant nothing to them; ~25% had a negative and ~20% a positive opinion. Satisfaction with the services had decreased after 15 months. Empowerment decreased for a more intensively followed subgroup. No positive consequences of the reform could thus be discerned.

“…Socio-demographic characteristics, such as educational level, having a friend or not (Eklund & Sandlund, 2012) and age (Catty, Goddard, & Burns, 2005b) (Argentzell, Leufstadius, & Eklund, 2012), have been shown to be related to DC attendance. Furthermore, less severe psychiatric symptoms have shown to be of importance for a high level of OE (Bejerholm & Eklund, 2007), a beneficial daily rhythm and more time spent in work or work-like occupations (Leufstadius & Eklund, 2008).…”

“…Within the study of life meaning and purpose, consistent negative associations with depression have been noted suggesting an increased risk for depressive symptomology when individuals fail to find adequate meaning within their lives (Klinger, 1977;Steger, Frazier, Oishi, & Kaler, 2006;Zika & Chamberlain, 1992). As well, negative affect and depressive symptoms appear to be negatively associated with the positive subjective experiences found within meaningful activity (Argentzell, Leufstadius, & Eklund, 2012;Eakman, 2011;Eakman et al, 2010a;Eklund & Leufstadius, 2007). Together these reports implicate depression as a factor of interest in the study of temporal relationships between meaningful activity and meaning in life.…”

Meaningful activity and meaning in life 2 AbstractThe present study employed a prospective longitudinal design to determine if change in meaningful activity over an 11-month period could help to explain change in meaning in life in a sample of 174 undergraduate and graduate students. The Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey, Basic Psychological Needs Scales (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness), and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire were used as indicators of the constructs of meaningful activity, basic psychological needs fulfillment and meaning and purpose in life. The findings were in support of the study hypotheses and indicated that change in meaningful activity explained both change in basic psychological needs fulfillment (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and change in meaning in life. Further, this study reports findings consistent with results from cross-sectional studies in support of the hypothesis that change in meaningful activity may influence change in meaning in life through two pathways: a direct path of influence from meaningful activity to meaning in life and an indirect path through change in basic psychological needs fulfillment. The present study contributes to a growing literature implicating subjective evaluations of day-to-day action (or meaningful activity) as a fruitful means for exploring relationships between occupation and well-being.
