摘要
Objective: The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate the process of transition to independent accommodation for people with schizophrenia. Method: The study employed a grounded theory approach. Multiple semi-structured and responsive e-mails and interviews were conducted with a total of seven participants currently living in independent accommodation. Through constant-comparative analysis of interview and e-mail data, three central processes were identified. Results: The three processes are developing a sense of control; establishing a relationship between illness and place; and attaining a sense of belonging. Conclusion: By attending to each of these three processes, mental health professionals may better assist people with schizophrenia to make a successful transition to independent accommodation, and in turn, to living well in the community.
