Feasibility of "Mer Aktiv"
Sponsor: Region Halland
Summary
The Mer aktiv rehabilitaion project aims to develop and evaluate a sustainable lifestyle intervention for individuals with mental ill health. By combining clinical experience, current evidence, and interprofessional collaboration between outpatient psychiatric services and community stakeholders, the project seeks to create conditions for a more active and balanced everyday life for individuals with mental ill health. The Mer Aktiv intervention focuses on breaking social isolation, promoting activity, and strengthening participants' empowerment through healthy lifestyle behaviours, group cohesion, and community-based activities. The aim of the intervention is to increase participation in everyday life and in society, as well as to support participants in remaining active after the intervention has ended. An increased level of activity, in which participants feel a sense of belonging within society, creates conditions for individuals to gradually move closer to the labour market over time. The project examines the feasibility and relevance of the intervention as a collaborative initiative between outpatient psychiatric care and community stakeholders, with the aim of refining the intervention and identifying potential barriers to implementation. The aim is to develop and evaluate a multiprofessional lifestyle intervention for individuals receiving outpatient psychiatric care.
