摘要
BACKGROUND: Depression is a common mental disorder. Literature has explored patients’ perspectives of the recovering process of depression. However, there is a lack of research to explore both patients’ and caregivers’ perspectives of the healing process and develop a theory to support patients with depression. AIMS: The purpose of this study is to develop a substantive theory that depicts patients with depression toward healing and recovering. METHOD: This study used a grounded theory approach and collected data between 2019 and 2020 in a medical center in Taiwan. A theoretical sampling was performed after interviewing 29 participants, including 20 patients who had recovered from depression and nine caregivers; data saturation was achieved. Data analysis was conducted with open, axial, and selective coding and used NVivo Version 11 to aid the process of coding. RESULTS: A substantive theory was developed and the core category was “Patients’ fortitude through the healing and recovering process of depression.” Other main categories interrelated in this core category were reframing negative thinking and cultivating positive thinking, rebuilding a positive self-worth by embracing self-compassion, and learning to cope with everyday stress. CONCLUSION: This theory could help health care professionals to work therapeutically with patients and commend their fortitude while experiencing depression and engaging them with the care they planned together; and find some joy in life. Educators and researchers could use this theory to advance nursing care.
