dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of the interplay between home-living young adults in the community with a serious mental illness (SMI) and their social environment and how this experience influence their mental health and well-being in light of the theory of salutogenesis. In a qualitative study, nine young adults with SMI were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and subjected to reflexive thematic analysis. The following three overarching themes characterized these young adults’ experiences of such interplay: (1) a sense of shame and feeling less valued in society, (2) challenges in engagement and maintaining relationships, and (3) the significance of social support in one’s family. Accordingly, the young adults experienced both the presence of good, constructive interplay with their social environment and deficits in this reciprocal feedback loop. Overall, this study illuminates the need for more tolerant health-promoting public attitudes to ensure that individuals with a SMI might experience better interplay by feeling that they are valued members of a nurturing society and that they can contribute to their local community. Participation in society should not be limited by one’s illness or expectations of being recovered before one can fully participate in society. Experiencing social support and inclusion in society is essential to strengthen self-identity and fight against stigma, thus promoting a sense of coherence, health and well-being.
