Persons with a Middle Eastern background represent a minority in Sweden which has significantly increased in size over recent years. The purpose of the present study was to explore the elements that shape the experiences and perceptions of clients with a Middle Eastern background living by Muslim norms who received occupational therapy in mental health care at the time of participating in the study. The study included interviews with 11 clients who received occupational therapy in mental health care. Data collection and analysis were carried out in accordance with the grounded theory approach. One core category, desiring a union, described the clients' desire for an alliance with the therapists that encompassed the realities and truths embedded in their values, preferences, world-views, and belief systems, as well as a wish to reconstruct their abilities to function and perform daily life tasks within their cultural contexts. The core category included sub-categories: desiring relationship, desiring affiliation, and desiring affirmation as well as some related components. The overall findings showed a tentative model in which the notion of mahram affinity was embedded. The results demonstrated that the clients' views regarding desiring a union had their support in collectivistic world-views that often clash with those of the therapists.
在瑞典，具有中东背景的人群占少数，但近年来这一群体规模显著增长。本研究的目的是探究塑造那些具有中东背景、遵循穆斯林规范、在参与研究时接受心理健康护理职业治疗的客户的经历和认知的因素。该研究包括对11名接受心理健康护理职业治疗的客户进行访谈。数据收集和分析按照扎根理论方法进行。一个核心类别“渴望联合”描述了客户渴望与治疗师建立一种联盟，这种联盟涵盖了他们价值观、偏好、世界观和信仰体系中所蕴含的现实与真理，以及希望在其文化背景下重建自身功能和执行日常生活任务的能力。核心类别包括子类别：渴望关系、渴望归属、渴望肯定以及一些相关成分。总体研究结果呈现出一个初步模型，其中包含了近亲关系的概念。结果表明，客户关于渴望联合的观点得到了集体主义世界观的支持，而这种世界观往往与治疗师的世界观相冲突。
