Abstract

Romantic relationships are a fundamental part of the human experience and contribute to quality of life and recovery of people with serious mental illness (SMI). However, few psychosocial interventions exist to address this issue among people with schizophrenia, and no existing intervention focuses on Latinxs. The intersectionality of being Latinx and having schizophrenia can create a unique experience regarding stigma, romantic relationships, and gender. Guided by intersectionality theory, this study used qualitative content analysis and an intersectionality template analysis to examine data from interviews with 22 participants-11 people with diagnosed schizophrenia and their identified primary family member. Overall, findings illustrate perspectives about romantic relationships in a sample of Latinxs with schizophrenia and highlight the stigma that people with schizophrenia and their families can experience. Five key themes emerged from the data: obstacles to romantic relationships, advantages of romantic relationships, disadvantages of romantic relationships, gender-role issues and satisfaction with life, and hope for the future. Participants reported that stigma related to schizophrenia and the lack of employment were the main obstacles to establishing and maintaining romantic relationships. These findings provide an insider perspective on romantic relationships in a sample of Latinxs with schizophrenia and elucidate the importance of using an intersectionality lens to guide culturally responsive approaches.

污名与种族、性别、浪漫关系和严重精神疾病的交叉:来自患有精神分裂症的拉丁裔及其家庭成员的视角。
浪漫关系是人类体验的基本组成部分,有助于严重精神疾病患者的生活质量和康复。然而,在精神分裂症患者中,很少有心理社会干预措施来解决这一问题,也没有针对拉丁裔的干预措施。拉丁裔和精神分裂症的交叉性可以创造一种关于污名、浪漫关系和性别的独特体验。在交叉性理论的指导下,本研究使用定性内容分析和交叉性模板分析来检验对22名参与者的访谈数据——11名被诊断为精神分裂症的人及其确定的主要家庭成员。总的来说,研究结果说明了一个患有精神分裂症的拉丁裔样本对浪漫关系的看法,并强调了精神分裂症患者及其家人可能经历的耻辱。数据中出现了五个关键主题:恋爱关系的障碍、恋爱关系的优势、恋爱关系中的劣势、性别角色问题和对生活的满意度,以及对未来的希望。参与者报告说,与精神分裂症有关的污名和缺乏就业是建立和维持浪漫关系的主要障碍。这些发现为患有精神分裂症的拉丁裔样本的浪漫关系提供了一个内部视角,并阐明了使用交叉性视角指导文化反应方法的重要性。
