“…A descriptive phenomenological approach was used, as it is suited to describe the phenomena experienced by an individual (Mu 2000). The central aspect of the phenomenological approach, which focuses on the subjective and particular experiences of the research participants and is ultimately inductive in nature, is a rational and intuitive process (Paley 1997, Stubblefield & Murray 2002). Purposive sampling was used to take in carers of the community who were only receiving community‐based psychiatric home visiting services provided by PHNs in Taiwan.…”

Schizophrenia is a severe illness with little hope of recovery and requires long-term care. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of carers who live with someone with long-term schizophrenia, within the cultural context of Taiwan. The study was conducted in a community setting in central Taiwan. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to explore the experiences of carers. Purposive sampling was used by selecting the carers who were close relatives of the clients, had lived with the clients for at least 1 year and bore most of the responsibilities. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect the data and narratives were analysed using Colaizzi's (1978) seven-step method. Data saturation was achieved after interviewing 10 carers. Three themes and eight sub-themes were identified: burdens of caring (helping clients' illness, lack of professional support and family conflicts), emotional burdens (sadness, worry and fear) and strategies of coping (cognitive and religious coping strategies). Our study supported the importance for nurses to understand the cultural aspects of mental illness, particularly the widespread cultural beliefs and patterns of help seeking behaviours, in order to provide culturally sensitive health care.

“…A phenomenological framework is of value to psychiatric nurses because of the essence of their practice and the unique nature of their clients’ realities. A phenomenological approach to research involves more than a method of directing data collecting and analysing (Stubblefield & Murray 2002).…”

The central element in the phenomenological approach, which focuses on the subjective and particular experiences of the research participants, is a rational and intuitive process and is ultimately inductive in nature (Paley 1997, Stubblefield & Murray 2002). It is important to establish epochs (bracketing) and return to the reality of the participants’ life experience (Hall 1996, Huang et al.…”

These brokered brides suffered from numerous pressures and difficulties in life. Their hopelessness led to suicidal behaviours as a way to get out of trouble. Hence, the need to provide brokered brides with substantial assistance and support in their lives is an issue that cannot be neglected. The results of this study could be used as a reference to provide professionals and the public with a deeper understanding of suicide in this vulnerable group, and provide more appropriate help and care. Relevance to clinical practice. The suffering may be alleviated by giving brokered brides a reliable support system that they so obviously need. Several recommendations have been made, including amendments in terms of policy, society and the services offered by healthcare professionals.
