“It is known that a satisfactory situation with respect to daily occupations in a broad sense, including self-care, work/studies, and leisure, is related to health and wellbeing (Aubin, Hachey, & Mercier, 1999; Eklund et al., 2001; Law, Steinwender, & Leclair, 1998;Wilcock et al., 1998).”

“In relation to this result, the finding of a strong relationship between daily occupations in a broad sense and quality of life (Eklund et al., 2001) seems even more important to acknowledge.”

“Eklund, Hansson, and Bejerholm (2001) indicated that although satisfaction with employment is significantly correlated with health for people with schizophrenia, total occupational satisfaction was more predictive of health-related quality of life.”

“Eight studies 20,24,25,53,62–65 used a disease-specific HRQoL instrument: the Subjective Quality of Life (S-QoL) (one study), Heinrichs–Carpenter Quality of Life (QoL) scale (three studies), Lancaster Quality of Life Profile (two studies), and Lehman’s Quality of Life Inter-view (QOLI) (two…”

“This study is part of a larger study context, where the overall aim is to investigate the interconnectedness between aspects of daily occupations, health, quality of life and wellbeing among people with schizophrenia (Eklund et al 2001, Bejerholm and Eklund 2004, Bejerholm and Eklund, in press).”

“This study could replicate earlier findings [12] of a noteworthy association between satisfaction with daily occupations and quality of life.”

“However, SQOL is usually higher among users having a higher income [37] or a job [42,43].”

“On the basis of earlier experiences from similar samples (Eklund et al., 2001) it was estimated that 50–55 individuals should be selected from each stratum.”

“Work has also been shown to be related to increased engagement in daily life activities and community participation [3], higher self-esteem, better quality of life, and fewer psychiatric symptoms [4,5].”

“Research has shown that being satisfied with daily occupations is associated with quality of life among people with PD (6,8,9).”

“An association between sQoL and occupational status has previously been demonstrated in other reports on mental illness, including schizophrenia patients (30, 31).”

“activity centres, leisure activities, and household work, which has been shown to be related to selfrated quality of life (15).”

“That study also demonstrated that individuals with PMI who spent a large proportion of their time working or studying had better health and well-being, which has also been found in previous research (8,21).”

“The response rate in this study was quite low, 60%, but still comparable to or better than studies performed under similar conditions, when the data collection is not integrated with clinical procedures [1, 25].”

“…intelligence (Corrigan & Buican, 1995), size of the support network (Lehman, 1983a; Corrigan & Buican, 1995), employment status (Lehman, 1983a; Eklund et al., 2001), satisfaction with services (Ruggeri et al., 2001), unmet needs (UK700 Group, 1999), side-effects of antipsychotic medication…”

“Daily activities Performance of and satisfaction with daily activities were assessed by means of an interview-based questionnaire developed for a previous study by this research group [2].”

“Research shows that being employed has a positive effect on symptoms, self-esteem, health and well-being for this group (Mueser et al., 1997; Eklund et al., 2001; Provencher et al., 2002).”

“In line with previous research on similar groups ( Eklund et al. 2001, 2004 ), and as per the comparison group, most of the attendees were single and few had children.”

“(26) did not find any differences between men and women regarding satisfaction with daily occupation.”

“[7–10].”

“A dropout analysis, described in more detail in another study based on the same sample (9), showed no difference with regard to sex, age, or diagnosis between the dropouts and the respondents.”

“However, the fact that the two measures of control yielded different findings is not surprising, because they have been shown to be only moderately related (Eklund et al., 2001).”

“A range of daily occupations was important, from social activities to employment, and a routine could help structure the day (Laliberte-Rudman et al 2000, Eklund et al 2001).”

“Psychosocial functioning in everyday life may also be relevant for the assessment of the convergent validity, because it has been shown to be related to different aspects of subjective perceptions of occupational performance (Bejerholm & Eklund, 2006a; Eklund, Hansson, & Bejerholm, 2001).”

“…factors that have been shown to be related to health-related variables are satisfaction with daily occupations (Aubin et al., 1999; Eklund, 2004; Eklund et al., 2001), perceived occupational meaning (Goldberg et al., 2002; Strong, 1998), and the value attached to daily occupations (Eklund,…”

“Rehabilitation programmes that affect quality of life may include interventions based on empowerment ideology (Rosenfield, 1992), talk-therapy groups based on salutogenic treatment principles (Langeland et al., 2006, Langeland, Wahl, Kristoffersen, & Hanestad, in press), interpersonal relationships (Tempier et al., 19…”

“Work or a daily occupation is of vital importance for health among persons with psychiatric disabilities (Eklund et al. 2001).”

“Employment status, through the mediating effect of the functioning factor, was found to have a positive indirect effect on QOL, indicating that the greater the degree of engagement in employment, the higher the functioning level and, consequently, the better the QOL ( Eklund et al. 2001; Marwaha and Johnson 2004).”

“Research has also shown that personality tends to be related to depressive mood [34], subjective health [35] and the way in which daily activities are perceived [36].”

“That women exhibit worse life satisfaction and quality of life than men is a common finding (Eklund et al., 2001; Love-Koh, Asaria, Cookson, & Griffin, 2015; Röder-Wanner, Oliver, & Priebe, 1997).”

“The theoretical frameworks for the work at the unit were psychodynamic theory (8,9), occupational therapy (10,11), symbol theory (12,13), caring science (14,15), and the ICF (7).”

“That study also demonstrated that individuals with PMI who spent a large proportion of their time working or studying had better health and well-being, which has also been found in previous research (8), (21).”

“Work participation positively influences people’s health, self‐identity, competency, control, balance, meaning of everyday life, as well as enables social inclusion (Eklund 2001 ; Eklund, Hansson, and Bejerholm 2001 ; Eklund, Hansson, and Alhqvist 2004 ).”

“There is a Swedish study which showed that satisfaction with daily occupations was closely related to QOL and other measures of health and well-being in schizophrenia patients (Eklund et al., 2001), but little research has been conducted on the association among them in Japan.”

“Subjective experiences of occupation, such as satisfaction with everyday occupations, have been shown to be more related to positive health and well-being than to the actual doing [14,15].”

“The current study focuses on the personality aspects of the personal component and certain facets of the occupational component that in previous research have been found to be related to health and well-being among people with mental disorders, namely, activity level (Eklund & Bäckström, 2005), satisfaction with daily…”

“У пациентов, имеющих работу, в отличие от безработных больных, как правило, симптомы менее выражены (особенно расстройство мышления, аффективные расстройства), выше уровень самооценки и показатели качества жизни (Eklund et al., 2001).”

“These kinds of treatment can raise rates of social rehabilitation from 50% to 68% [16-18] and have a positive impact on patients’ quality of life [19-23].”

“Several studies have shown that the personal satisfaction perspective is consistently related to health and well-being [12–14], whereas the variety of occupations and time allocation perspectives are more scarcely researched.”

“On the one hand, some studies report an absence of, or a weak, association between work and self-esteem (Eklund et al., 2001; Torrey et al., 2000).”

“Eklund et al. (2001) examined the relationships between satisfaction with occupational factors (such as occupational status, and total daily occupational status) with health-related variables (such as quality of life, psychopathology, sense of coherence, and perceived control).”

“Alcuni studi riportano, infatti, una migliore qualità di vita nei pazienti con schizofrenia che hanno un lavoro rispetto a quelli che non lo hanno (20-22) e in precedenti studi longitudinali è stato riscontrato che la qualità di vita migliora nel corso del tempo in pazienti con impiego lavorativo…”
