Background:
Few studies examined the return-to-work (RTW) process in working people after recovery from serious mental illness (SMI).
Purpose:
The RTW process was explored in working people with SMI.
Method:
A qualitative study was conducted using the grounded theory. Twenty seven interviews were analyzed using Corbin and Strauss's approach (2015).
Results:
The core category "syncing with an ordinary workstream" emerged with three categories: "proceeding RTW strategies," "staying at work strategies," and "relative adaptation with work."
Conclusion:
"Syncing with an ordinary workstream" can help researchers develop a new practice model to facilitate the RTW process in working people with SMI.
