The objective of this research is to explore and share the medication experience of those with a mental illness in order to gain understanding of the patient's medication perceptions as well as the impact of medication upon patients' lives.
Patients with a mental disorder were given cameras and asked to capture the experience of "living with my medication." Using Photovoice methodology, participants reflected on their photos individually and in focus groups. Conceptual themes were drawn from the data.
Five participants captured an average of 14 photos each. Self-efficacy with mental illness, mental and physical health connections, and education were the 3 most prominent themes. Aspects of medications were interwoven within these themes but were not the primary focus of the participants.
Medication experiences of patients with mental illness may encompass much more than the medications themselves.
本研究的目的是探索和分享患有精神疾病者的用药体验,以便了解患者对药物的看法以及药物对患者生活的影响。
为患有精神障碍的患者提供相机,并要求他们记录“与我的药物共处”的经历。采用照片心声法,参与者分别在焦点小组中对自己的照片进行反思。从数据中提炼出概念主题。
5名参与者平均每人拍摄了14张照片。精神疾病自我效能感、身心健康联系和教育是3个最突出的主题。药物的各个方面在这些主题中相互交织,但并非参与者的主要关注点。
患有精神疾病的患者的用药体验可能包含比药物本身更多的内容。
