Lack of occupation can lead to boredom, apathy, social exclusion and solitude. Occupation should incorporate meaningful activities. The aim of this study is to describe how Spanish Nursing Home residents experienced and made sense of meaningful activities. A qualitative phenomenological approach was followed. Data were collected over an 18-month period between 2012 and 2014. Purposeful sampling was conducted with Spanish residents in nursing homes in Madrid. Data were collected using unstructured and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the Giorgi proposal. Thirty-eight residents (20 female and 18 male) participated. Three main themes describing the significance of meaningful activity in nursing homes emerged from the data: Feeling the passage of time, Seeking an occupation, and Living with restrictions. Nursing homes should strive to develop diverse and meaningful activity programs for residents in order to occupy their time and provide them with a greater sense of purpose.
缺乏活动会导致无聊、冷漠、社会排斥和孤独。活动应包含有意义的行为。本研究的目的是描述西班牙养老院居民如何体验有意义的活动并理解其意义。采用了定性现象学方法。数据收集于2012年至2014年的18个月期间。对马德里养老院的西班牙居民进行了目的抽样。通过无结构和半结构化访谈收集数据。使用 Giorgi 提议对数据进行分析。38名居民（20名女性和18名男性）参与了研究。数据中出现了描述养老院中有意义活动重要性的三个主要主题：感受时间的流逝、寻求一项活动、在限制中生活。养老院应努力为居民制定多样化且有意义的活动计划，以便充实他们的时间并为他们提供更强的目标感。
