“…The sample size varied between seven and 30 participants. In most of the articles, the authors discuss or mention the implications of a small sample size as a limitation for the research results (Bjørkedal et al, 2016; Blixen et al, 2016; Burke et al, 2016; de Jager et al, 2016; Jones et al, 2016; Landon, Shepherd, McGarry, Theadom, & Miller, 2016; Rhodes, Parrett, & Mason, 2016; Topor, Ljungqvist, & Strandberg, 2016), whereas other authors do not discuss this issue, even if fewer than 10 participants were interviewed (Singh et al, 2016; van Langen et al, 2016). …”

“…One of the authors in the reviewed articles was usually responsible for the main analysis and the other authors served as additional evaluators in the analysis procedure (Bjørkedal et al, 2016; Kidd et al, 2016; Paul, 2016; Rhodes et al, 2016). Others went a step further, and included more than one author to independently read the transcripts and initial analysis (Barut et al, 2016; Blixen et al, 2016; Burke et al, 2016; Jones et al, 2016; Landon et al, 2016; Saavedra et al, 2016; Topor et al, 2016; van Langen et al, 2016; Waite et al, 2016). …”

Undertaking research studies in the field of mental health is essential in mental health nursing. Qualitative research methodologies enable human experiences to become visible and recognize the importance of lived experiences. This paper argues that involving people with schizophrenia in research is critical to promote their health and well-being. The quality of qualitative research needs scrutinizing according to methodological issues such as trustworthiness and ethical standards that are a fundamental part of qualitative research and nursing curricula. The aim of this study was to critically review recent qualitative studies involving people with severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions, regarding descriptions of ethical and methodological issues in data collection and analysis. A search for relevant papers was conducted in three electronic databases, in December 2016. Fifteen qualitative interview studies were included and reviewed regarding methodological issues related to ethics, and data collection and analysis. The results revealed insufficient descriptions of methodology regarding ethical considerations and issues related to recruitment and sampling in qualitative interview studies with individuals with severe mental illness, putting trustworthiness at risk despite detailed descriptions of data analysis. Knowledge from the perspective of individuals with their own experience of mental illness is essential. Issues regarding sampling and trustworthiness in qualitative studies involving people with severe mental illness are vital to counteract the stigmatization of mental illness.

“…What these data suggest is that an improved economic situation may enable them to lead a more active social life, confirming the findings of Johnson and Mood's (2014) 10-year follow-up study. What this improvement entailed for this group can be gleaned from the qualitative part of the study (Topor et al 2015a). Several participants intensified relationships they had already acquired.…”

“…Temporary financial improvements do not constitute a general solution for problems confronted by SMI persons but may for some of them offer a starting point for reintroducing themselves into social contexts and wider fields of action, which will in turn affect their mental states and social networks (Topor et al 2015a).…”

a financial contribution per month was granted to 100 individuals with severe mental illnesses for a 9-month period. Assessments of the subjects were made before the start of the intervention and after 7 months' duration. A comparison group including treatment as usual only was followed using the same instruments. Significant improvements were found for depression and anxiety, social networks, and sense of self. No differences in functional level were found. Social initiatives may have treatment and other beneficial effects and should be integrated into working contextually with persons with severe mental illnesses.
