A qualitative phenomenological approach was followed. Data were collected over an 18-month period between 2012 and 2014.

The data were analyzed using the Giorgi proposal. Thirtyeight residents (20 female and 18 male) participated. Three main themes describing the significance of meaningful activity in nursing homes emerged from the data: Feeling the passage of time, Seeking an occupation, and Living with restrictions.
