Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of living with mothers with schizophrenia from childhood to the present from the perspective of their now-adult child.

Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 10 adult children of mothers with schizophrenia. The data were collected in South Korea from July 2017 to March 2018 and thematic analysis was employed. Purposive sampling was used.

Results: Four themes were identified: (1) Navigating Childhood Confusion and Isolation Due to Maternal Schizophrenia, (2) Journey Through Loneliness, Resentment, and Emerging Responsibility, (3) Facing real-life difficulties as an adult child with vulnerability, and (4) Satisfaction in well-grown self.

Conclusions: Notwithstanding the real-life difficulties due to unstable life with their mothers with schizophrenia, the children still had faith and confidence in themselves as well-grown thus far. Reflection on memories with their mothers served as a basis for continued maternal-child relationship and for taking on the role of guardians despite the negative experiences of their mothers' psychotic symptoms. Mental health nurses and school health professionals should pay attention to the children of mothers with schizophrenia and their difficulties in providing appropriate mental health services.

韩国精神分裂症母亲的成长经历:定性研究。
目的:本研究旨在从精神分裂症母亲的成年子女的角度,探讨他们从童年到现在与母亲共同生活的经历:方法:对 10 名精神分裂症母亲的成年子女进行了个别访谈。数据于 2017 年 7 月至 2018 年 3 月在韩国收集,并采用了主题分析法。采用了目的性抽样:确定了四个主题:(1)因母亲患有精神分裂症而经历童年的困惑和孤独;(2)经历孤独、怨恨和责任感的萌发;(3)作为成年儿童面对现实生活中的困难时的脆弱;(4)对成长中的自己感到满意:尽管由于与患有精神分裂症的母亲生活在一起而面临着不稳定的现实生活困难,但孩子们仍然对迄今已成长为健全人格的自己充满信心和信心。对与母亲的回忆的反思是继续保持母子关系和承担监护人角色的基础,尽管他们的母亲有精神病症状的负面经历。精神卫生护士和学校卫生专业人员应关注精神分裂症母亲的子女及其在提供适当的精神卫生服务方面的困难。
