However, staff have expressed frustration about providing this type of support when motivating residents to engage in meaningful activities and also about the difficulty in finding suitable levels of independence within a housing setting with limitations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Objective<\/jats:title>The aim is to explore the views and experiences of housing staff in Supported Housing on how they can stimulate and support engagement in activities for people with psychiatric disabilities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Twenty-six members of staff from 20 supported housing units in 10 municipalities in Sweden were interviewed in five focus groups. A semi-structured interview guide was used, and the transcribed material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Three main categories emerged from the analysis: Multi-faceted factors influencing the staff\u2019s provision of activity support<\/jats:italic>, Staff\u2019s approach for supporting activities<\/jats:italic>, and Staff\u2019s struggles to develop their work<\/jats:italic>. Obstacles to participating in activities in the community were identified. Many contrasting factors were found, such as spontaneous or structured activities and individual or group activities, which affected the staff\u2019s ability to motivate to activity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>A broad approach encompassing in-house training including a focus on values, recruitment policies, staff supervision and interventions focusing on both residents and staff are ways to support staff in motivating residents toward being more active within Supported Housing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2023.1322859","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]],"date-time":"2024-01-05T05:51:39Z","timestamp":1704433899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["\u201cIt\u2019s not just the residents who need to be motivated for activity\u201d: a qualitative study of the perspectives of staff on providing activity support for people with psychiatric disabilities in supported housing in Sweden"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rosita","family":"Brolin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina","family":"Tj\u00f6rnstrand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mette","family":"Friis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Argentzell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrika","family":"Bejerholm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mona","family":"Eklund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Brunt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","author":"Kirsh","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"787","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.12570","article-title":"Service user experiences of specialist mental health supported accommodation: a systematic review of qualitative studies and narrative synthesis","volume":"26","author":"Krotofil","year":"2018","journal-title":"Health Soc Care Community"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1080\/11038128.2022.2141315","article-title":"Opportunities and barriers for occupational engagement among residents in supported housing","volume":"30","author":"Argentzell","year":"2023","journal-title":"Scand J Occup Ther"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.3109\/11038128.2011.596219","article-title":"Occupational balance as used in occupational therapy: a concept analysis","volume":"19","author":"Wagman","year":"2012","journal-title":"Scand J Occup Ther"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1080\/11038128.2016.1224271","article-title":"The linkage between patterns of daily occupations and occupational balance: applications within occupational science and occupational therapy practice","volume":"24","author":"Eklund","year":"2017","journal-title":"Scand J Occup Ther"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-020-02896-3","article-title":"A day in the life of people with severe mental illness living in supported housing","volume":"20","author":"Tj\u00f6rnstrand","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref7","volume-title":"Supported housing in the community for persons with severe mental illness.
