Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand in depth the hospitalization experience of people with schizophrenia from the perspective of the person concerned, and to examine the unique life temperament that is embodied and expressed in the process in the context of habitus. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 people with schizophrenia who were hospitalized in psychiatric institutions. For data collection and analysis, the grounded theory methodology of Strauss & Corbin (1998) was applied. As a result of the analysis, 119 concepts, 31 subcategories, and 13 categories were derived. The paradigm model of causal conditions, contextual conditions, interventional conditions, action/interaction strategies, and results were confirmed based on the central phenomenon of <Deprived autonomy and life as a forced patient>. Through process analysis, process models such as ‘the stage of collapse of the right to life’, ‘the stage of environmental exploration’, ‘the stage of self-preservation’, ‘the stage of return to bondage’ or ‘the stage of maintaining hope’ were found. Finally, a core category was found: ‘the process of facing the crossroads of being patient and having hope in life as a forced patient’. Based on these research results, limitations and alternatives to the medical model-centered approach to people with schizophrenia were suggested.
