Social support is important for people experiencing serious mental illness and is also important during the initiation and maintenance of exercise. In this article we draw on interpretive research into the experiences of 11 men with serious mental illness to explore four dimensions of social support both for and through exercise. Our findings suggest that informational, tangible, esteem, and emotional support were both provided for and given by participants through exercise. We conclude that experiences of both receiving and giving diverse forms of support in this way are significant for some people living with and recovering from serious mental illness.
社会支持对于患有严重精神疾病的人很重要，在运动的开始和维持阶段也很重要。在本文中，我们借鉴了对11名患有严重精神疾病男性的经历的解释性研究，以探讨运动中社会支持的四个维度，包括支持的给予和通过运动获得的支持。我们的研究结果表明，参与者通过运动既获得了信息、物质、尊重和情感支持，也给予了这些支持。我们得出结论，以这种方式接受和给予不同形式支持的经历，对一些患有严重精神疾病并正在康复的人来说意义重大。
