| Popis: | 106 The aim of this study is to explore the interaction experiences with family members during recovery in chronic schizophrenia patients after they have returned home. This study adopted purposive sampling and patients were enrolled from a community rehabilitation center of a mental hospital in central Taiwan. Participants were 20-54years old, diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia by psychiatrists, and had returned to the community and stayed with their family for more than one year. One-to-one in-depth interviews between researcher and participants were conducted to obtain relevant information. A recording pen and notebook were used to record subject’s verbal and non-verbal behavior. Following that, content analysis method in qualitative research was used to analysis the interview content in an objective and systematic manner. Data was collected until saturated. A total of ten chronic schizophreniapatients were interviewed. The results showed four themes: (1) meets the family's decisions in seeking medical treatments and folk therapies; (2) to bear the family's support and denial ; (3) development of self-affirmation or negation due to how the members of family treat them; (4) Dealing with family members of taking responsibility or indifferent ; Results showed that the interaction experiences between chronic schizophrenia patients and their family members affected the patient’s self-responses towards the disease. In addition, the experiences of living with family members further affected patients’ self-affirmation and negation and subsequent development of a responsible attitude for the role. Furthermore, the recovery status of patients after they had returned to their families was also affected by their environmental and financial situation. Recovery is not static and mostly manifested as a status of back-and-forth swinging. Based on the results, this study proposes the teaching of effective expression of self-emotions and expectations when patients face family members who are staying together with them, to promote a more positive recovery status. We hope that the results of this study can provide a reference for clinical practice or relevant studies. |
