Methods

Description of data capture

Qualitative, in-depth interviews were held with 18 participants, selected from a purposive sample of patients who have suffered from severe mental illness but had experienced symptom remission. These participants had suffered victimisation before acquiring a mental illness or while suffering a mental illness. Voice recordings were transcribed verbatim and the transcripts anonymised before analysis. An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was conducted, by which the aim was to explore in detail participants’ life-worlds and the meanings they attach to these, in this case victimisation experiences of persons living with severe mental illness.
