There is a growing international effort to improve the rate of engagement with young people needing early treatment for psychosis. In this article I describe how a sample of 30 young people, who successfully engaged in treatment for a first episode of psychosis, experienced the process of engagement during the initial stages of care. Using a grounded theory approach and purposive sampling, I found that the nature of relationships among young patients and care providers is a factor that influences engagement. I also found that the transition between initial treatment and community care is a critical time for engagement. The success of this transition is marked by contact with client-centered-care providers and a supportive peer group culture.
国际上越来越重视提高青少年接受早期精神病治疗的参与率。本文描述了 30 名成功接受首发精神病治疗的年轻人在初始治疗阶段的参与过程。采用扎根理论方法和目的抽样，发现患者与医护人员之间关系的性质是影响参与度的一个因素。我还发现，从初始治疗到社区护理的过渡时期是参与治疗的关键时期。这种过渡的成功标志是与以客户为中心的医护人员接触和支持性的同龄人群体文化。
