Table 2 An example illustrating the analysis

I am the kind of person who likes to work. Maybe there are people who can’t…bear to work or something like that. But I’ve always been someone who, I wanted to have a meaningful life. I wanted to do something for others. I loved my profession

To have a meaningful life

Belonging

Feeling a sense of coherence

Health as belonging

I love going to restaurants and going out to eat good food. It’s health, doing things you enjoy that make you feel good mentally in addition to the physical, I think that’s great. To be able to be spontaneous in one’s activities, that is health, to be able to spend time with friends, to eat healthy, to not be in so much pain that it limits me too much in what I want to do

Engaging in activities that bring joy and promote both mental and physical well-being

Enjoying life

Feeling joy in everyday life

Health as happiness

Health for me is that I can actually move, I bicycle a lot and I walk a lot, health to me is to be able to do that, to be independent

Being autonomous and independent of other people

Managing everyday life independently

Feeling independence

Health as freedom

I still go to Zumba, I run, I bicycle…I am more aware that I have to exercise. I have to do something. I have to do it for my own sake. To think like that, I have to help my body, it’s like my body is having a battle, I have to help it somehow, I can’t just sit and be lazy, I have to do something

Having the inner strength to exercise and take control of life

Taking control of life

Feeling capable

Health as empowerment
