Descriptive phenomenological analysis reveals challenges in primary health care for patients with mental health problems, suggesting enhanced person-centered care and clinical outcomes.
The lived experience of being a patient with mental health problems was described as everyday challenges due to their mental health. They never knew whether the support was there for them as patients when encountering primary health care. Acknowledging patients as experts on their life situation is the core element in person-centered care. It is therefore crucial for further research to include patients' experiential knowledge to inform clinical practice and to improve clinical outcomes.
