Job seekers have often made job choices based upon the degree to which they fit the tasks requirements of the job. This concept is referred to as person-job (P-J) fit. In addition, research has suggested that job seekers self-select organizations to work for based upon the perceived fit between themselves and the organization. This concept is referred to as person-organization (P-O) fit.

Introduktion: År 2022 befann sig minst 100 miljoner människor på flykt. Asylsökande och flyktingar som tvingats fly har många gånger utsatts för traumatiska händelser. Flykten innebär stora livomställningar som påverkar individens aktivitet, identitet, känsla av kompetens samt hälsa och välbefinnande. Syfte: Beskriva aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagen hos asylsökande och flyktingar. Metod: Scoping review användes för att besvara syftet. Datainsamling gjordes genom litteratursökning i databaser samt genom manuell sökning. Sökord som användes var refugee or refugees or asylum seeker or asylum seekers or forced migrant or forced migrants or displaced, occupational participation or occupational engagement or participation, activity or occupation. Inklusionskriterier var artiklar på svenska och engelska, publicerade 2010 – 2023. Grå litteratur och andra litteraturstudier exkluderades. Totalt inkluderades 17 artiklar. Resultat: Studien resulterade i två huvudkategorier: Asylsökande och flyktingars aktivitetsidentitet och Kontexters betydelse för aktivitet och delaktighet. Ett genomgående tema i studien framkom: Ovisshet inför framtiden. Resultatet indikerar på att asylsökande och flyktingar utsätts för aktivitetsberövning, aktivitetsobalans och förändringar i individens aktivitetsidentitet samt aktivitetsförmåga. Individens aktivitet och delaktighet påverkas av kontextuella faktorer. Slutsats: Asylsökande och flyktingar begränsas i sin aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagen. Resultatet indikerar på att delaktighet i och möjlighet till meningsfulla och nödvändiga aktiviteter är av betydelse för hälsa och välbefinnande. / Introduction: Year 2022, around 100 million people were estimated to be on the run. Asylum seekers and refugees who are forced to flee their home country may have been exposed to traumatic events. The flights results in lifestyle changes that affect the individual’s activity, identity, sense of capacity, health and well-being.  Aim: Describe activity and participation in everyday life of asylum seekers and refugees. Method: A scoping review was used. Data collection was carried out through literature search in databases and by manual search. Keywords used were refugee or refugees or asylum seeker or asylum seekers or forced migrant or forced migrants or displaced, occupational participation or occupational engagement or participation, activity or occupation. Inclusion criteria were articles in Swedish and English, published 2010 – 2023. Grey literature and other literature reviews were excluded. A total of 17 articles were included. Results: The study resulted in two main categories: Asylum seekers and refugees activity identity and The importance of contexts for activity and participation. An overarching theme emerged: Uncertainty about the future. The results indicate that asylum seekers and refugees are exposed to activity deprivation, activity imbalance and changes in the individual’s activity identity and ability. The individual’s activity and participation are influenced by contextual factors. Conclusions: Asylum seekers and refugees are limited in their activity and participation in everyday life. The result indicates that participation in and opportunity to meaningful and necessary activities is important for health and well-being.

Syfte: Att beskriva aktivitetsmönster och upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans hos individer över 70 år efter införandet av Folkhälsomyndighetens rekommendationer om begränsad social kontakt i samband med covid-19-pandemin. Metod: Genom en kvalitativ induktiv ansats med ett strategiskt urval genomfördes 17 semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att upptäcka mönster och upplevelser av tillvaron i deltagarnas berättelser. Resultat: Deltagarna beskrev att det funnits både svårigheter och möjligheter för hur de kunde adaptera och hitta nya sätt att utföra aktiviteter på. Med färre aktiviteter och mer tid att förfoga över blev deltagarna angelägna om att komma till rätta och utföra aktiviteter som upplevdes meningsfulla för att finna balans i vardagen. Aktivitetsmönster tog ny form då aktiviteter förändrades och/eller försvann varpå deltagarna anpassade sig efter de nya förutsättningarna, och aktiviteterna med dem. Resultatet lyfte hur aktivitetsbalansen påverkades då aktiviteter förändrades eller försvann, att deltagarna utmanades att hitta strategier för att finna meningsfulla aktiviteter i den nya vardagen. Slutsats: Studien visade att engagemang i aktivitet hörde samman med välmående och vikten av tillgänglighet. Ökad kunskap behövs för att bidra med insikt i vad som bibehåller balans, hur tillgängligheten kan öka och vilket stöd arbetsterapeuter och samhället kan ge. / Aim: To describe patterns of daily occupations and experience of occupational balance in individuals over 70 years of age after the introduction of the Public Health Agency of Sweden's recommendations on limited social contact in connection with the covid-19-pandemic. Method: Through a qualitative inductive approach with a strategically planned selection, 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data was analyzed through a qualitative content analysis to discover patterns and experiences of existence in the participants stories. Results: Participants described that there have been both difficulties and opportunities for how they could adapt and find new ways to perform activities. With fewer activities and more time at their disposal, the participants became eager to come to terms with and perform activities that felt meaningful in order to find balance in everyday life. Patterns of daily occupations have taken on new forms as activities have changed and/or disappeared, after which the participants adapted to the new conditions and the activities with them. The results highlight how the occupational balance has been affected when activities have changed or disappeared, that participants have been challenged to find strategies to find meaningful occupation in the new everyday life. Conclusion:The study showed that participation in occupation is related to well-being and the importance of accessibility. Increased knowledge can provide insight into what maintains balance, how accessibility can increase and what support occupational therapists and society can provide.

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna studie var att syntetisera vuxna personers erfarenheter av dagliga aktiviteter under tillfrisknande från beroendesjukdom. Metoden var en systematisk litteraturöversikt av kvalitativa forskningsstudier, där sökning i CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus samt Web of Science resulterade i 11 artiklar som granskades och därefter analyserades genom tematisk analys. Resultatet bestod av två tolkande teman; ”Tillfrisknandeprocessen innebär utmaningar ochförluster i de dagliga aktiviteterna, som kan hindra engagemang och leda till återinsjuknande” och ”Dagliga aktiviteter fyller en både stödjande och utvecklande funktion i ett tillfrisknande, där både aktivitetsmönster och engagemang förändras över tid” samt fem beskrivande teman. Konklusion: Det finns flera hinder för aktivitetsengagemang under tillfrisknandet. Svårigheter att hantera vardagen samt avsaknad av meningsfulla aktiviteter riskerar att resultera i försämrad hälsa och återfall. De dagliga aktiviteterna har stor betydelse för tillfrisknande från beroendesjukdom genom att ge struktur, nya sammanhang, mål och meningsfullhet. Vidare forskning rekommenderas för att undersöka erfarenheterna i en svensk kontext ochutifrån resultatet föreslås även att befintliga arbetsterapeutiska gruppinterventioners användbarhet och effekt provas för aktuell målgrupp. / Abstract The aim for this study was to synthesize adults´ experiences of daily activities during recovery from substance use disorder. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted, where a search in CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science resulted in 11 articles that were reviewed and analyzed through thematic analysis. Result consisted of two interpretive themes: “The recovery process involves challenges and losses in daily activities, which can hinder engagement and lead to relapse” and “Daily activities have both a supporting and developing function in recovery, where activity patterns and engagement changes over time” and five descriptive themes. Conclusion: There are several barriers to activity engagement during recovery. Difficulties in managing everyday life as well as a lack of meaningful activities risk resulting in poorer health and relapse. The daily activities are of great importance for recovery from addiction disease by providing structure, new contexts, goals and meaningfulness. Further research is recommended to examine experiences in a Swedish context and based on the results it is also suggested that existing occupational therapy group interventions are tested and developed to fit the needs of people with addiction disease.

This research aims to attain insight into the role a person's processing style (process) have on decision-making from a career developmental and gestalt perspective because it appears as if the adolescent's proses with regard to career choice is not being acknowledged. Semi-structured interviews were used to generate data from which coded themes were identified. These coded themes served as the core research of this study. The subjective experience of respondents' career development are presented, supported by a literature control. From this research it is clear that the adolescent's process is dynamic with regard to field and phenomenology and that structures such as family and school plays an important career developmental role as environmental influences. Intra psychic constructs such as introjects, assimilation and process play an important role in decision-making. / Sociology / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)
