Although unemployment is common among those diagnosed with psychotic illnesses, few studies have looked directly at the experience of those who have gained competitive paid employment subsequent to being diagnosed. This study explored the experiences of people diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder in relation to paid employment. METHODS Eight participants with experience of paid employment were interviewed. The data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) [Smith et al. (In: Murray, Chamberlain, editors) Qualitative health psychology, 1999].
Three super-ordinate themes; 'Coping', 'Interpersonal support and reactions', and 'Personal change' were identified.
Interpersonal support seemed to be lacking in workplaces, where discrimination was a reality for people with psychosis. Further study into what facilitates coping with symptoms in the workplace is needed.
虽然失业在被诊断患有精神病性疾病的人群中很常见，但很少有研究直接关注那些在被诊断后获得有竞争力的带薪工作的人的经历。本研究探讨了被诊断患有精神分裂症或分裂情感性障碍的人在带薪工作方面的经历。方法 对八名有带薪工作经历的参与者进行了访谈。使用解释现象学分析（IPA）[史密斯等人（载于：默里、张伯伦编著）《定性健康心理学》，1999年]对数据进行了分析。
确定了三个上位主题；“应对”、“人际支持与反应”和“个人变化”。
工作场所似乎缺乏人际支持，对患有精神病的人来说，歧视是现实存在的。需要进一步研究如何促进在工作场所应对症状。
