The aim of this qualitative study was to deepen the knowledge of how individuals with schizophrenia themselves describe what they need in order to increase their well-being in everyday life. Seven patients were interviewed. An open explorative approach was applied and grounded theory was used for the analysis resulting in five categories illustrating how patients with schizophrenia handle their struggle for a normal life. The patients stressed first the importance of receiving information about the disease: for themselves, for society, and for their families. Taking part in social contacts such as attending meeting places and receiving home visits were identified as important as well as having meaningful employment. They also pointed out the importance of taking part in secure professional relationships. Mainly they expressed the need for continuity in the relationships and the wish to be heard and seen by the professionals. Finally, interviewees addressed the need for support for sustaining independent living through practical housekeeping and financial help. To conclude, the participants in the present study described their need for help as mainly linked to activities in their overall life situation rather than just their psychosis.
本定性研究旨在深入了解精神分裂症患者自身对日常生活中提升幸福感所需条件的描述。对 7 名患者进行了访谈。采用开放式探索方法，并应用扎根理论进行分析，得出五个类别，说明了精神分裂症患者如何应对他们争取正常生活的斗争。患者首先强调了获得有关疾病的信息的重要性：为自己、为社会、为家人。参与社交活动，如参加聚会场所和接受家访，以及有意义的就业，被认为是很重要的。他们还指出了参与安全专业关系的重要性。他们主要表示需要关系的连续性，希望得到专业人士的倾听和关注。最后，受访者提到需要支持，以维持独立生活，包括提供实用的家政服务和经济帮助。总之，本研究的参与者描述了他们对帮助的需求主要与他们整体生活状况有关，而不仅仅与他们的精神分裂症有关。
