The nature of occupational engagement for homeless people living with mental illnesses is not well understood, and there are few studies to date that examine the occupational lives of these individuals.
This research study seeks to understand how this group of individuals engages in occupations. The central question is "What is the nature of occupational engagement by homeless adults living with mental illnesses in Toronto?"
A constant comparative method of analysis was used in a secondary analysis of 60 interviews with homeless adults experiencing mental illness.
Four themes emerged that describe the nature of occupational engagement for this group: occupations as enjoyment, occupations as survival/risk, occupations as passing time, and occupations as self-management. Implications. This research informs occupational therapy interventions aimed at optimizing engagement, health, and well-being for homeless adults living with mental illnesses.
人们对患有精神疾病的无家可归者的职业参与性质了解不足，迄今为止，很少有研究考察这些人的职业生活。
本研究旨在了解这一群体如何参与职业活动。核心问题是“多伦多患有精神疾病的无家可归成年人的职业参与性质是什么？”
采用持续比较分析法，对60名患有精神疾病的无家可归成年人的访谈进行二次分析。
出现了四个主题，描述了该群体职业参与的性质：作为享受的职业、作为生存/风险的职业、作为消磨时间的职业以及作为自我管理的职业。意义。本研究为旨在优化患有精神疾病的无家可归成年人的参与度、健康和幸福感的职业治疗干预提供了信息。
