“…This finding is supported by the findings of research into the occupational activity of those with severe mental illness, which indicated that, though employment was valued, people made choices constrained by fear of relapse, and entered, avoided and shaped their social and occupational activity to remain well. 229 It was found that doing too much could exacerbate symptoms, yet doing too little could also cause illness and, therefore, people with severe mental illness sought out daily occupations with structure, flexibility and easily-met demands over which they had control. 229 Therefore, to achieve well-being and quality of life, people need to find a balance and be enabled towards that to which they are best fitted.…”

HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions. To strengthen the evidence base for health research, the MRP oversees and implements the evolving strategy for high quality methodological research. In addition to the MRC and NIHR funding partners, the MRP takes into account the needs of other stakeholders including the devolved administrations, industry R&D, and regulatory/advisory agencies and other public bodies. The MRP funds investigator-led and needsled research proposals from across the UK. In addition to the standard MRC and RCUK terms and conditions, projects commissioned/managed by the MRP are expected to provide a detailed report on the research findings and may publish the findings in the HTA journal, if supported by NIHR funds.The authors have been wholly responsible for all data collection, analysis and interpretation, and for writing up their work. The HTA editors and publisher have tried to ensure the accuracy o...

“…The findings showed that value was seen in terms of; generating motivation (having a sense of purpose, organizing time and being influenced by the environment), building competence (acquiring skills, coping with challenge and experiencing achievement) and developing self-identity (being driven to create, being useful and generated a sense of self). Occupational choice, seen as reflecting meaning, was in a qualitative study investigated among eight persons who were unemployed or had supported employment (19). The study showed that these people with severe mental illness struggled to engage in meaningful occupations in order to stay mentally well, and that social connection, health and occupations were inter-related.…”

“…This categorization is particularly relevant for people with PMI since it includes rest and relaxation (Nurit and Michal, 2003). These are very important issues for individuals who are mentally ill and relaxation can be extremely important, especially to individuals who experience anxiety (Chugg and Craik, 2002;Nagle et al, 2002). During a day a person goes through periods of higher and lower degrees of activity.…”
