Despite growing concern over the treatment of adolescents with psychiatric medications, little research has examined youth understandings and interpretations of mental illness and psychotropic treatment. This article reports the exploratory findings of semi-structured and open-ended interviews carried out with 20 adolescents diagnosed with one or more psychiatric disorders, and who were currently prescribed psychiatric medications. Grounded theory coding procedures were used to identify themes related to adolescent subjective experience with psychiatric medications. The categories identified are interpreted as different points of view through which adolescents understand and take action upon their illness concerns; their need for medication treatment; their perceptions of how medications work; their responses to parental and other influences upon medication treatment; and, their everyday management activities.
尽管人们越来越关注青少年使用精神科药物的治疗情况，但很少有研究探讨青少年对精神疾病和精神药物治疗的理解与诠释。本文报告了对20名被诊断患有一种或多种精神疾病且目前正在服用精神科药物的青少年进行半结构化和开放式访谈的探索性结果。采用扎根理论编码程序来确定与青少年使用精神科药物的主观体验相关的主题。所确定的类别被解释为青少年理解其疾病问题并据此采取行动的不同观点；他们对药物治疗的需求；他们对药物作用方式的认知；他们对父母及其他对药物治疗影响的反应；以及他们的日常管理活动。
