A freedom-of-choice reform within mental health day center services was evaluated. The reform aimed to 1) facilitate users' change between units and 2) increase the availability of service providers. Seventy-eight users responded to questionnaires about the reform, empowerment, social network, engagement and satisfaction and were followed-up after 15 months.Fifty-four percent knew about the reform. A majority stated the reform meant nothing to them; ~25% had a negative and ~20% a positive opinion. Satisfaction with the services had decreased after 15 months. Empowerment decreased for a more intensively followed subgroup. No positive consequences of the reform could thus be discerned.

“…One addressed the activities performed while being in the day centre and is termed the Profiles of Occupational Engagement in people with Severe mental illness -Productive occupations (POES-P) [24]. It consists of two parts, the first being a time-use sheet, where the respondent fills in what he or she did during the previous day in the day centre.…”

Global Assessment of Functioning, GAF, was also used. Work was categorised into Group I (professionals, semiprofessionals), Group II (clerical support, services workers) and Group III (e.g. craft workers, elementary occupations).RESULTS: Almost everyone had previously had open-market employment; more than half for ≥ 10 years. Group I was more common in mixed centres, Group II in meeting place-oriented ones and Group III in work-oriented ones. Group I more frequently had college degree and was rated high on GAF functioning. Women were over-represented in Group II, and men in Group III and in meeting place-oriented centres. Attending mixed centres was more likely when having a college degree, scoring high on GAF functioning and being highly engaged in activities. Attendees at work-oriented day centres were characterised by being motivated for spending time alone and reporting a diagnosis of psychosis.CONCLUSION: The participants had unused working capacity. No clear-cut relationships were found between work experiences and the investigated correlates.
