Experiences of Violence Among Individuals With Schizophrenia in Indonesia: A Phenomenological Study
Abstract:
Individuals with schizophrenia have a greater risk of violence compared to the general population. However, the contribution of schizophrenia to violence is heavily debated and remains unclear. The purpose of the current phenomenological study was to explore experiences of violence among individuals with schizophrenia (N = 40, mean age = 35.6 years) in West Java, Indonesia. A purposive sampling method was used to select participants from main referral hospitals. Focus group discussions were held, revealing two main themes-victimization by nurses and victimization by family-and eight sub-themes. Sub-themes for victimization by nurses included physical violence, verbal violence, restraint, neglected basic human needs, and no informed consent. Sub-themes for victimization by family were physical violence, verbal violence, and deception. Patients with schizophrenia have the same rights as all other patients, including the right to dignified treatment, the right to informed consent, and the right to patient safety.
