Alexandra Olofsson, Anneli Nyman & Maria Larsson Lund - Luleå tekniska universitet

consider themselves integrated in the community. Which can lead to common consequences such as

social isolation and depression.

aged 28-59 years.

Data: Repeated interviews of the

participants' experiences of engagement in occupations

outside home and how different aspects support and hinder their engagement.

reflected the various conditions that were decisive for changes in their engagement in occupations outside home. They were

struggling with managing

impression, have difficult to

prepare tasks in the home before going out and perceived risks that alter engagement in occupations

outside home.
