Abstract

Background: People with mental health issues often experience difficulties with sensory modulation affecting occupational engagement. Research conducted in inpatient units has shown positive effects of individual sensory modulation interventions, however, research on experiences of group-based interventions in outpatient units is limited. Hence, a group-based sensory modulation intervention was adapted and tested within Swedish mental health outpatient units.

Aim: To explore the experiences of participating in a group-based sensory modulation intervention for service users in mental health outpatient units.

Material and methods: This qualitative study involved interviews with 25 informants who had participated in the intervention. The interview data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results: Synthesis of the interviews resulted in one overarching theme of 'Embodied awareness facilitates improved coping and sense of self' organised into four themes: (1) 'Developing embodied awareness and strategies', (2) 'Taking control of everyday life', (3) 'Creating a stronger sense of self', and (4) 'From alienation to belonging'.

Conclusion and significance: The informants experienced the intervention to provide new embodied coping strategies that had previously been neglected. This understanding may enrich occupational therapy practice in new ways to support service users' engagement in occupations.

参加针对心理健康服务使用者的小组感官调节干预的体验。

背景：有心理健康问题的人在感觉调节方面经常会遇到困难，从而影响他们的职业参与。在住院部进行的研究表明，个人感觉调节干预具有积极的效果，但在门诊部进行的以小组为基础的干预经验研究却很有限。因此，我们在瑞典精神健康门诊部内对以小组为基础的感觉调节干预进行了调整和测试。目的：探讨精神健康门诊部服务使用者参与以小组为基础的感觉调节干预的体验：这项定性研究对 25 名参与干预的知情者进行了访谈。采用反思性主题分析法对访谈数据进行分析：对访谈内容进行综合后得出了一个总主题 "具身意识有助于提高应对能力和自我意识"，并将其分为四个主题：（1）"发展具身意识和策略"；（2）"掌控日常生活"；（3）"创造更强的自我意识"；以及（4）"从疏离到归属"：受访者体验到干预措施提供了以前被忽视的新的体现性应对策略。这种理解可以丰富职业治疗实践，以新的方式支持服务使用者参与职业活动。
