title: Intervening conditions of hospital-based home care for people with severe mental illness.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study discusses the intervening conditions of hospital-based home care (HBHC) for people with severe mental illness in Taiwan.
  
  
  METHODS
  Grounded theory of the Strauss and Corbin approach was used. Participants were selected from six hospitals in Central Taiwan, including 21 clients, 19 caregivers, and 25 professionals.
  
  
  METHODS
  Semi-structured one-on-one interviews were used to collect data. Data analysis consisted of three stages: open, axial, and selective coding. Data analysis, data collection, and sampling were conducted through the constant comparative analysis process.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two categories were generated as positive and negative intervening conditions of HBHC services. Eight positive effects and nine negative effects were generated from the data.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Several positive and negative intervening conditions were found in this study to affect the delivery of HBHC. Government support and several limitations regarding HBHC services quality should be noticed and improved.
