Abstract:
This study aimed to synthesize findings from qualitative studies that explored the lived experiences of persons with serious mental illness with regard to getting and having a home. A systematic search strategy was used. Data from 24 articles were extracted and analyzed using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. The total number of informants was N = 769. Four main themes emerged: (1) The Turning Point: The Transition to a Home, (2) The Key to Stability and Thriving: Having and Estating a Home, (3) Home: The Mental Health Hub, and (4) Home: The Base Camp for Reconnecting and Relating.
