Previous research has shown that persons with long-term mental illness who require prolonged treatment and social support wish to, yet find it difficult to, find meaning or quality in life. A descriptive qualitative design using self-photography and in-depth interviews was used for data collection. The aim of this study was to explore basic attitudes to life as expressed by nine persons with long-term mental illness living in the community. The findings provide insight into the values of relationships, work, and the home for persons with long-term mental illness and indicate that they are cognizant of social norms yet have difficulty integrating these in their daily lives. The study also illuminates the informants' difficulties in creating satisfying and supporting relationships with others.
先前的研究表明，那些患有长期精神疾病、需要长期治疗和社会支持的人希望找到生活的意义或质量，但却发现这很困难。本研究采用描述性定性设计，使用自我摄影和深入访谈进行数据收集。本研究的目的是探讨 9 名居住在社区中的长期精神病患者对生活的基本态度。研究结果深入了解了长期精神病患者对人际关系、工作和家庭的价值观，并表明他们意识到社会规范，但在日常生活中难以将这些融入其中。该研究还揭示了受访者在与他人建立满意和支持性关系方面的困难。
