The value of families and professionals in mental health care is well understood. Patient perspectives appear to have gotten less attention to date. This study investigated the perspectives of hospitalized mental health care users on the involvement of family members in their care using a qualitative phenomenological design. The participants with lived experience of family members being involved in their care were chosen using non-probability, purposive sampling. Individual interviews were carried out with the assistance of a voice recorder and observation notes. Because of data saturation, only fifteen people were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. It started with reading and reviewing the transcript to extract key statements about the phenomenon. The meaning was then determined by carefully studying the primary significant statements and phrases. The established meanings were then organized into themes and subthemes. The three themes that emerged from the data analysis are as follows: a wide variation in patients’ perspectives when family members remind them of their medicine, unpredictable visitation by family members, and a lack of support from family members. There were also the following five sub-themes: not visiting mental health care users in the hospital causes uncertainty about their future, mental health care users were concerned by fewer visits from relatives, friends were perceived as a contributory factor to no or limited visitation by family members, disappointment by a lack of financial support, and perceived lack of emotional support from family members. There is a need for family members to visit mental health care users to remove uncertainty about their future. Healthcare providers should listen to mental health care users to identify the challenges they are faced with, and hospital policies tailored to enhancing the involvement of family members should be formulated.
