Abstract

The existence of social restrictions and activities during the pandemic in the last two years may have hampered the recovery process of people with schizophrenia. The Denpasar City Empowered House Rehabilitation Center is designed as a place for people with schizophrenia in the community to recover, become independent, and be productive. Several studies have attempted to explain how people with schizophrenia recover, but little is known about how this happens during pandemics. Therefore, this study used interpretive phenomenological methods to explore and understand the meaning of life for people with schizophrenia. The participants were 5 people with schizophrenia who were at the Denpasar Empowered House. Furthermore, interviews were conducted using in-depth techniques. The interview data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the Creswell approach. The results obtained 8 themes, namely: (1) Feeling cared for by others, (2) Accepted by the community, (3) Having a positive self-identity, (4) Ngayah helping the recovery process, (5) More helpful to explore self-ability, (6) To recover, (7) Enjoy active socializing, and (8) Situations that affect self-ability. It can be concluded that the participants interpret the recovery process as a goal to return to being part of the community during a pandemic.
