The aim of this study is to gain knowledge about how nurses experience their role in District Mental health Day Centres. The data was collected by interviewing 6 nurses in different units in Norway. The interviews was taped and transcribed. The analysis was done by following Kvales (1997) description in content analysis. We have followed his three phases; 1) self-understanding, 2)critical understanding based upon «common sence» and 3) theoretical understanding. The result show that the nurses role and function was caring, interaction and preceptor ship. The nurses promote the user experience of being important for other users and to focus on independence and the users autonomy. They play the ground for social relationship and let the user tell and put word upon their own experiences.
