The aims of this study were to explore the intended meaning of the terms "occupation", "activity", "doing", and "task" used in international occupational therapy literature and from this perspective explore which Swedish terms best capture these meanings. A literature review of occupational therapy-related journals was performed to gain a basic understanding of the term occupation and related terms. In addition, a semantic review was used: English and Swedish dictionaries were reviewed to explore the semantic meaning of the English terms "occupation", "activity", "doing", and "task", and the Swedish terms "aktivitet", "syssla/sysselsättning", "görande", and "uppgift". A comparison was also performed by searching for parallels between the results of the literature review, the semantic definitions of the English and Swedish terms and the comprehensive meaning of the Swedish terms aktivitet and syssla/sysselsättning. An overarching idea of the concept of occupation was found in the literature review and for the purposes of this study we have identified this as Occupation for survival. From this overarching idea, three themes were identified: The feature of occupation, Impact of occupation and Occupation an occupational therapy concept. Each theme could be subdivided into sub-themes. The Swedish term aktivitet was found to have more power, strength, and spirit connected to the synonyms found in the semantic analysis than to those connected with the Swedish term syssla/sysselsättning. According to the findings in this study we found that the term "aktivitet" is the best comparable term in Swedish to the English term "occupation".

“…According to theory (Fidler, 1996;Kielhofner, 2002) each person's lifestyle comprises engagement in an occupational repertoire congruent with individual needs and with the sociocultural norms of that person's society. Society exerts a strong influence on how occupations are perceived (Velde & Fidler, 2002).…”

“…Unfortunately, comprehensive theories of lifestyle (Fidler, 1995;Siegrist, 2000;Velde & Fidler, 2002) have not been influential in the design of public health initiatives to promote health or prevent disease or injury. Efforts at prevention often consist of targeting specific behaviors in order to reduce injury, disease and disability, for example, efforts to reduce the incidence of heart disease through diet and exercise (World Health Organization, 1986).…”

The perceived stress of time-pressures related to modern life in Western nations has heightened public interest in how lifestyles can be balanced. Conditions of apparent imbalance, such as workaholism, burnout, insomnia, obesity and circadian desynchronosis, are ubiquitous and have been linked to adverse health consequences. Despite this, little research has been devoted to the study of healthy lifestyle patterns. This paper traces the concept of lifestyle balance from early history, continuing with the mental hygiene movement of the early twentieth century, and extending to the present. Relevant threads of theory and research pertaining to time use, psychological need satisfaction, rolebalance, and the rhythm and timing of activities are summarized and critiqued. The paper identifies research opportunities for occupational scientists and occupational therapists, and proposes that future studies connect existing research across a common link-the identification of occupational patterns that reduce stress. The importance of such studies to guide health promotion, disease prevention and social policy decisions necessary for population health in the 21st century is emphasized.
