Management of everyday life after a hand operation-A qualitative study of patients with a weak sense of coherence.

Background: A hand-related disorder (HRD) has a more significant impact on participation in everyday life for patients with a weak sense of coherence (SOC) compared to those with a strong SOC. Therefore, understanding how patients with a weak SOC manage the conditions of everyday life after a hand operation is of clinical interest.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore how patients with a weak SOC experience and manage the conditions of everyday life after an operation for an HRD.

Enhancing engagement in meaningful occupation in a dementia town: A qualitative evaluation of MOED - The meaningful occupational engagement intervention for people with dementia.

Introduction: Engagement in meaningful everyday life occupations is linked to well-being. However, people with dementia are often deprived of engagement. As a response, a Danish Dementia Town was established with the intention of transforming care services to improve opportunities for meaningful engagement.

Approaches to engaging people with dementia in meaningful occupations in institutional settings: A scoping review.

Background: People with dementia in institutional settings lack engagement in meaningful occupations, which may cause decreased quality of life. Although many researchers and professionals have proposed approaches to engage people with dementia in these occupations, an overview seems to be missing.

Aim: This scoping review provides an overview by categorizing and describing the characteristics of the approaches.
