Purpose To gain insight into the patients' experiences on providing structure ( PS ) as a nursing intervention during psychiatric inpatient care. Design and Method Interviews were conducted with patients ( n = 17) from two inpatient wards within a mental healthcare organization. For data analysis, a qualitative coding process was followed. Findings The patients' expectations for PS were described. One expectation seemed to reflect key concern: the need to maintain autonomy. Practical Implications The study reveals the patients' views about PS . When the importance of PS is mentioned, nurses can refer to our description of PS . We were able to further stipulate the required activities of PS and provide for an adapted definition of PS .
