title: [Recovery from persons living with schizophrenia].
abstract: The study gives a theoretical explanation of how people living with schizophrenia recover. The 41-participant study (clients, family and health professional) was conducted using the grounded theory approach, in three different settings. Based on analyses of the empirical data, the authors identified seven closely interrelated categories defining the participants' experiences and came up with a theory explaining how certain individuals manage to recover. Their theory may guide researchers and clinicians interested in understanding this phenomenon from a nursing point of view based on human responses to a disease.
