Introduction:
Phenomenological qualitative research delves into the essence and meaning of phenomena through subjects' lived experiences. Despite its widespread use in humanities disciplines, its integration with psychopathology is rare in China.
Methods:
We systematically reviewed phenomenological studies on schizophrenia in China to assess their content and quality and offer insights for future research. Following PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed 28 articles. Quality assessment focused on adherence to theoretical principles, transparency, coherence, and evidence.
Results:
Topics covered various illness-related experiences, including treatment seeking, medication, hospitalization, rehabilitation, relapse, sexuality, and reproduction. Some studies also explored caregiver experiences. However, only 5 articles were rated excellent, with most lacking theoretical depth.
Conclusion:
Phenomenological research related to schizophrenia in China is mostly peripheral to the psychopathology of schizophrenia, and the qualification rate is low. Researchers should keep in mind the nature of phenomenological attitudes, delving into the essence and meaning of phenomena.
