The study investigated the meaning of recovery to eight people with chronic schizophrenia.
A qualitative methodology was used based on a 3-hour focus group. The material was transcribed and analysed into 18 subcategories and 4 categories; namely recovery as a multi-dimensional construct, the relationship of medication to recovery, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness about recovery, factors that promoted recovery.
Respondents believed that full recovery could not be said to have been achieved until they stopped medication and had a steady job. The support and care of family and friends were also vital, although sometimes problematic. Independent living has a different meaning in Chinese culture.
Further research directions are suggested as well as ways to change attitudes to the inclusion of medication in recovery.
该研究调查了康复对八名慢性精神分裂症患者的意义。
采用基于3小时焦点小组的定性研究方法。材料被转录并分析为18个子类别和4个类别;即康复是一个多维概念、药物治疗与康复的关系、对康复的绝望和无助感、促进康复的因素。
受访者认为,在停药并拥有稳定工作之前,不能说已实现完全康复。家人和朋友的支持与关爱也至关重要,尽管有时会出现问题。在中国文化中,独立生活有不同的含义。
提出了进一步的研究方向以及改变对康复中药物治疗态度的方法。
