In this study we explored the perceptions of Chinese patients with schizophrenia about their treatment, mental state, social relationships, and daily life throughout the psychotic episodes. A purposive sample of 16 schizophrenia patients with heterogeneous demographic backgrounds was recruited. We collected data through face-to-face semistructured interviews. We conducted a qualitative data analysis and identified three central themes inductively: (a) negative experiences, (b) sense of powerlessness, and (c) ambivalent therapeutic relationship. Several subthemes were derived under each central theme. The participants' narratives revealed a complex picture of disadvantage and difficulties throughout their psychotic episodes and rehabilitation processes. The themes identified are explored in detail, and their links with existing research and potential clinical implications are considered. |
