Abstract
- Therapeutic craft is a meaningful occupation used in occupational therapy. This study investigated the lived experience of clients with schizophrenia who engaged in craft activities. This qualitative study was conducted at a mental health hospital where seven participants were recruited through purposive sampling to participate in semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis was used to process the data. Four themes emerged from the analysis: (i) sense of self and value, (ii) facilitators to occupational engagement, (iii) barriers to occupational engagement, and (iv) future hope. Experiences of clients with schizophrenia provide insight and perhaps a road map for developing holistic rehabilitation and the transition to the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
