The study indicates a highly relational process, where it is impossible to divide life into private and work, and presupposes balance in everyday life in multiple dimensions. Its contribution includes the formulation of perceived needs in the transition between intervention and return to work and could, through further research, be used to generate a more effective and sustainable return- and rehabilitation models
How does ReDO®-10 work? Understanding the mechanisms of action of an intervention focused on daily activities and health from the perspective of participants

A Longitudinal Study of Changes in Asylum Seekers Ability Regarding Activities of Daily Living During Their Stay in the Asylum Center
Temporal Patterns of Daily Occupations Related to Older Adults' Health in Northern Sweden
The aim of this study was to identify characteristics of temporal patterns of daily occupations that could be related to high and low subjective health among older adults in Northern Sweden. A cross-sectional design imprinted by time-geographic methodology was used and participants 70 years and older were purposively selected and divided into groups of high and low health using the SoC-29 and SF-36 questionnaires. Daily occupations data were regi…
Ecopation
This article examines the current perspective of sustainability and explores its relation to occupation. An elaborated version of the concept of ‘ecopation’, originally developed in 2002, which melds together eco-ethics and knowledge about occupation, is used as a tool to address sustainability issues in relation to future occupations for well-being. The concept of glocalisation is introduced as a means by which to capture the interconnectedness …

This study sought to expand knowledge regarding patterns of daily occupations and, specifically, to explore and describe the daily occupations of Swedish people aged over 70 years by investigating sequences, contexts and time-use. A cross-sectional design with a time-geographic approach was used. Open time diaries from 151 participants were collected and analysed using the software VISUAL-TimePAcTS. The results were illustrated as a routine of si…

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing and is associated with how families manage their daily occupations. Previous studies suggest that it should be possible to identify patterns of daily occupations that promote health and prevent illness. However, it is unknown how family members' patterns are shared. This study aimed at gaining knowledge about parents' shared patterns of daily occupations. Thirty parents enrolled in a randomized co…

Time use in relation to valued and satisfying occupations among people with persistent mental illness
This study investigated how temporal occupational patterns, operationalized as time use and daily rhythm, are related to occupational balance, in terms of the value and satisfaction that people with persistent mental illness derive from daily occupations. The respondents, 103 individuals visiting an outpatient psychosis unit, completed a time‐use diary and questionnaires targeting occupational value and satisfaction. Spending more total time in n…
Meaningfulness in daily occupations among individuals with persistent mental illness
This study investigated how people with persistent mental illness who work or study, attend a community‐based activity centre or have no regular activities, experience and describe the meaningfulness of their daily occupations. Data were gathered from 102 randomly selected individuals who were interviewed regarding their daily occupations and perceived meaningfulness using a ‘yesterday activity diary’. Content analysis revealed five main themes o…
Levels of Complexity in Patterns of Daily Occupations
The study builds on a previous study of the everyday occupations of 100 women who worked at home and in the paid workforce. Their pattern of daily occupations was depicted using time-occupation graphs inspired by the time geography method, whereby the women’s pattern of occupations were categorised and clustered according to complexity. For each woman, the level of complexity was operationalised as the frequency of shifting between three categori…
Recognition of Similarities
It has been proposed that it should be possible to identify patterns of daily occupations that promote health or cause illness. This study aimed to develop and to evaluate.a process for analysing and characterising subjectively perceived patterns of daily occupations, by describing patterns as consisting of main, hidden, and unexpected occupations. Yesterday diaries describing one day of 100 working married mothers were collected through intervie…
Time to Reevaluate the Machine Society
This paper discusses the ethics underlying the occupational repertoire of the post‐industrial citizen, giving attention to lifestyle phenomena such as increased tempo and quantity of occupations; manipulation of time, organisms and environments; decreases in sleep, rest and play etc. In trying to understand human behavior in the 21st century, an ethical perspective is delineated and some starting points for a discussion of ethics from an everyday…
