Abstract

Identifying patient perspectives about recovery may help the service providers to enhance active participation of patients in their recovery. This study aimed to explore patients' perspectives about factors affecting recovery from schizophrenia. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to explore the perceptions of 18 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed. Codes were identified and similar codes were grouped together and main themes were identified. Nine main themes on facilitators and barriers of recovery from schizophrenia were derived. Deeper understanding of patients' perspectives of recovery from schizophrenia can help mental health professionals to plan appropriate recovery-oriented services.
