There is a need for intervention studies of persons with psychiatric disabilities who attend day centers (DCs).
The aim of this study was to investigate how people living with psychiatric disability experience and describe the meaning of occupation at DCs after taking part in an intervention.
An interpretative phenomenological approach was used and 11 participants in the intervention were interviewed.
The superordinate theme describing the experienced meaning at the DC was As a substitute for work, and the sub-themes were; A feeling of belonging to a subculture; Flexibility and adaptation of occupation in accordance with the individual's needs and recovery process; and Influence.
The results indicated that the intervention played an important role for the creation of meaning at the DC's for the participants in their daily lives and appeared to promote their well-being. Activities that promoted structure and were experienced as work-like as well as activities that promoted social belonging and influence at the DC were experienced as meaningful. Further intervention studies are needed to gain more knowledge about how to tailor different approaches and activities at DCs in the municipalities that could be experienced as meaningful by their members.
需要对日间护理中心（DCs）的精神残疾人士进行干预研究。
本研究的目的是调查精神残疾者在参与一项干预后，如何体验并描述在日间护理中心从事活动的意义。
采用解释现象学方法，对11名参与干预的受试者进行访谈。
描述在日间护理中心体验到的意义的上位主题是“作为工作的替代”，下位主题包括：归属于亚文化的感觉；根据个人需求和康复过程灵活调整活动；以及影响力。
结果表明，干预对于日间护理中心的参与者在日常生活中创造意义起到了重要作用，似乎还促进了他们的幸福感。在日间护理中心，促进结构化且类似工作的活动以及促进社会归属感和影响力的活动被认为是有意义的。需要进一步开展干预研究，以获取更多关于如何在各市的日间护理中心定制不同方法和活动的知识，使其成员能够体验到这些活动的意义。
