| Summary: | Introduction: This paper presents a narrative review of the literature on the everyday life of people diagnosed
with the schizophrenia spectrum, from their narratives about the illness experience, published as articles in indexed
journals. The narrative reviews start from broad issues with data sources and selection of articles that may contain
some bias, seeking to develop a contextual and theoretical theme. Objective: The main objective is to indicate how
narrative studies on the everyday life and experience of schizophrenia are presented in the national and international
scenario; the most relevant authors; how the everyday life concept is described; type of studies performed and the
possible contributions to the health/disease/care in mental health care process. Method: We sought the breadth of
the researched material, appropriation, and organization of it. We reported the findings in quantitative terms on the
subject to then present an overview of the selected papers. We aimed to know those who present the everyday life
experienced by people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Results: Considering the seven databases used during this
review, we selected 281 papers, 90% of them were international and just under one-third (82 papers) report/describe
and value their narrative in the first person about the illness experience. Conclusão: We discuss the relevance and
responsibility of mental health research centered on the experience, the current sciences scenario, and the dialogues
with singularities, and regarding the different experiences of illness in the Brazilian sociocultural context |
