Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar och unga vuxna har ökat och kommer sannolikt att fortsätta öka på sikt. Depression och ångestsyndrom är bland de vanligaste orsakerna till psykisk ohälsa världen över. Arbetsterapeuter besitter en avgörande kompetens inom aktivitet och hälsa. Denna kompetens kan vara behjälplig för ungdomar och unga vuxna med depression och ångestsyndrom.
Syfte: Att kartlägga vilka arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som finns för ungdomar och unga vuxna mellan 12-29 år med depression och ångestsyndrom.
Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats. Databaserna PubMed, CINAHL och PsycINFO användes vid datainsamlingen och 11 artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. I dataanalysen tillämpades en integrerad... (More)

Syfte: Att kartlägga vilka arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som finns för ungdomar och unga vuxna mellan 12-29 år med depression och ångestsyndrom.
Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats. Databaserna PubMed, CINAHL och PsycINFO användes vid datainsamlingen och 11 artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. I dataanalysen tillämpades en integrerad innehållsanalys.
Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två kategorier där den första kategorin inkluderade interventioner som ökade tillfredsställelse med aktivitetsutförandet och bidrog till symtomremission. Den andra kategorin inkluderade interventioner som ökade självkänsla, välbefinnande och möjliggjorde utvecklandet av strategier för att hantera symtom.
Slutsats: Litteraturöversiktens resultat bekräftar att arbetsterapeutiska interventioner, kan genom utvecklandet av färdigheter och strategier för personer med depression och ångestsyndrom, ge minskning och hantering av symtom och främja den psykiska hälsan. Kartläggningen har dock visat en brist på forskning i svensk kontext kring arbetsterapeutiska interventioner för den valda målgruppen och därmed bedömer författarna att det finns behov av mer forskning inom detta område.

Abstract
Background: Mental illness among youth and young adults has increased and will likely continue to increase in the long term. Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most common causes of mental illness worldwide. Occupational therapists possess competence in activity and health. This competence can be helpful for adolescents and young adults with depression and anxiety disorders.
Aim: To overview which occupational therapy interventions are available for adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12-29 with depression and anxiety disorders.
Method: A general literature review with an inductive approach. The databases PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO were used for data collection and 11 articles were included in the results. In... (More)

Aim: To overview which occupational therapy interventions are available for adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12-29 with depression and anxiety disorders.
Method: A general literature review with an inductive approach. The databases PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO were used for data collection and 11 articles were included in the results. In the data analysis, an integrated content analysis was applied.
Results: The analysis resulted in two categories where the first category included interventions that increased satisfaction with activity performance and contributed to symptom remission. The second category included interventions that increased self-esteem, well-being and developed strategies to manage symptoms.
Conclusion: The results of the literature review confirm that occupational therapy interventions, through the development of skills and strategies for people with depression and anxiety disorders, can reduce and manage symptoms and promote mental health. However, the overview has shown a lack of research in the Swedish context regarding occupational therapy interventions for the selected target group, and thus the authors assess that there is a need for more research in this area.
