Experiences and daily life attitudes of women with severe mental disorders: integrative review of associated factors.

OBJECTIVE: The objective is to identify the factors that influence the experiences and daily life attitudes of women with severe mental disorders (SMD).

METHOD: A search for studies published from 2000 to 2014 was conducted in electronic databases. All relevant primary studies were screened using integrative methods. Findings were synthesized thereafter.

RESULTS: Fifteen articles were included. A total of 21 factors were identified as being associated with experiences and daily life attitudes of women with SMD. These factors consisted of the following five categories: strengths and limitations regarding self-care behavior and healthcare delivery, unmet healthcare needs, psychosocial vulnerabilities underlying SMD, gains and challenges of motherhood, and adoption of coping strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare providers can greatly contribute to improving the quality of healthcare for women with SMD, but several barriers need to be overcome.
