Summary :
Background. An impression of occupational imbalance may appear in the person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) when their routine is perceived as unsatisfactory.
Purpose. The study documents the altered dimensions of life balance and identifies the coping mechanisms used daily.
Method. This qualitative and exploratory research is based on semi-directed interviews conducted at home with eight participants. The inductive analysis approach is used to process the data.
Finding. Considering the variety of situations of occupational imbalance, the coping strategies used depend on the nature of the OCD manifestations, the environment and the occupations made by the person.
Consequences. The occupational imbalance of people with OCD involves a temporary, sometimes transient, situation. It can be prolonged, when the routine is disturbed by the invasion of obsessive thoughts, the painful compulsive rituals and increased anxiety.
