This study explores the experience of women with severe mental illness in transition from psychiatric hospital care to the community. Three focus groups were conducted among women with severe mental illness from transitional residences at two state psychiatric hospitals. Focus group transcripts and notes were coded according to women's perceived challenges and facilitators of transition. Participants described several challenges including fear of insufficient treatment support, safety concerns, social isolation, stigma, and lack of resources to meet daily needs. The supports that women described as important were an orientation to the neighborhood and residence, access to treatment support with flexibility, and connection to social supports.
本研究探讨了患有严重精神疾病的女性从精神病院护理过渡到社区的体验。在两家州立精神病院的过渡住所中，对 3 名患有严重精神疾病的女性进行了焦点小组讨论。根据女性对过渡的挑战和促进因素的感知，对焦点小组的记录和笔记进行了编码。参与者描述了一些挑战，包括对治疗支持不足的恐惧、安全问题、社会孤立、污名化以及缺乏满足日常需求的资源。女性认为重要的支持包括对社区和住所的了解、灵活获得治疗支持以及与社会支持的联系。
