Abstract

|
In this research, we explored the goal-setting process of people with schizophrenia for recovery. To do so, we conducted in-depth interviews with 15 schizophrenics using social rehabilitation centers based on the grounded theory method. As a result, we were able to identify 13 categories, 21 sub-categories and 97 concepts. In the conceptual framework of the goal-setting process for the recovery of schizophrenics, the central phenomenon turned out to be ‘I want to have a goal that suits me.’ The central phenomenon was influenced by the causal condition of ‘I desire to pursue what I want to realize’ and the contextual conditions of ‘I am not physically strong enough’ and ‘I do not have sufficient education.’ The action-interaction strategies are ‘try to achieve one by one’, ‘start trying a small task first’, and ‘prioritize tasks’, which is affected by the intervening conditions of ‘I want to vent my spite’, ‘I feel secure because my family give me their support’ and ‘I participate in programs’. The action-interaction strategies led to three results: ‘I became more confident’, ‘I feel happy’ and ‘My health is improving’. People with schizophrenia felt recovered in the process of finding their goal.
Since this is the very first research on the goal-setting process of schizophrenics in Korea, we expect this research to have significant implications for policy and clinical interventions in the country.
