Abstract
This study aimed to examine nurses' (N= 29) perceptions of nursing interventions in supporting patients' quality of life (QoL) in acute psychiatric inpatient settings. Design and Method: An explorative descriptive study design was applied. The data were generated through seven focus group interviews and analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Findings: Five main categories of nursing interventions to support patients' QoL were identified. Interventions were related to care planning, empowering interventions, social interventions, activating interventions, and security interventions. Practice Implications: Emphasis should be placed on nurses' opportunities to improve patients' QoL according to patients' individual needs.
