Abstract

Objective: Meaning in life is crucial for the recovery of individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). The aim of the present study was to identify profiles of meaning in life among individuals with SMI based on the presence of meaning and search for meaning and to examine their associations with recovery.

Methods: Latent profile analysis for a sample of 207 individuals with SMI in South Korea was employed to identify the latent profile of meaning in life using the presence of meaning and searching for meaning as an indicator. Next, multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between demographic variables and latent profiles. Last, categorical regression was applied to explore the association of latent profiles with recovery.

Results: Latent profile analysis revealed three distinctive profiles: meaning diffusion (10.1%), meaning moratorium (27.5%), and meaning achievement (62.3%). Among demographic variables, only age had a negative effect. Compared with meaning moratorium (reference group), meaning achievement positively predicted recovery, whereas meaning diffusion negatively predicted recovery.

Conclusions and implications for practice: The finding could help psychiatric rehabilitation practitioners focus on helping individuals with SMI in promoting meaning in life for their recovery journey. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

重度精神疾病（SMI）患者的生活意义与康复之间的关系：一项潜在特征分析。

目的：生活意义对严重精神疾病（SMI）患者的康复至关重要。本研究的目的是根据意义的存在和寻找意义来确定重度精神障碍患者的生活意义概况，并研究它们与康复的关系。方法：对207名韩国重度精神障碍患者样本进行潜在特征分析，以意义的存在和寻找意义为指标，确定生活中意义的潜在特征。其次，使用多项逻辑回归来检验人口统计变量与潜在概况之间的关系。最后，应用分类回归探讨潜在特征与恢复的关系。结果：潜在特征分析揭示了三个不同的特征：意义扩散（10.1%）、意义暂停（27.5%）和意义成就（62.3%）。在人口统计变量中，只有年龄有负面影响。与意义暂停组（参照组）相比，意义成就正向预测康复，而意义扩散负向预测康复。结论和实践意义：这一发现可以帮助精神康复从业者专注于帮助重度精神障碍患者在康复过程中提升生活意义。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
