Abstract

This research study aimed to develop a substantial model of how individuals with depression engage in daily life and redevelop social participation by addressing the psychological flexibility of social participation among 19 outpatient Thai adults with depression from their perspective. The constant comparative method was used to analyze 34 interview transcripts with nonparticipatory observation notes. The results consist of three correlated categories, namely, realizing the meaning of coexistence, challenging social participation, and committing to sustained social participation. Experience of depression might affect family and community participation; thus, the first category was understood to promote a flexible attitude and sustain performance.
