A review of literature related to psychiatric patients' interrelated experiences of boredom and mental health demonstrated that developing a better understanding of the relationship between boredom and health would provide important implications for development of the therapeutic environment of psychiatric units. The literature suggested that experiences of meaningful roles and relationships contribute substantially to experiences of control essential for mental health. Boredom is an indicator of a lack of experience of meaning. Many psychiatric patients experience boredom and lack opportunities to experience meaning, indicating a lack in the therapeutic potential of the hospital environment and a requisite for change and further research.
一项关于精神科患者无聊与心理健康相关经历的文献综述表明，更好地理解无聊与健康之间的关系将为精神科病房治疗环境的发展提供重要启示。文献表明，有意义的角色和关系体验对心理健康所必需的控制感体验有很大贡献。无聊是缺乏意义体验的一个指标。许多精神科患者感到无聊，且缺乏体验意义的机会，这表明医院环境的治疗潜力不足，需要变革和进一步研究。
