Motivation is vital for recovery in schizophrenia, influencing treatment engagement and outcomes. Schizophrenia disrupts motivation, requiring an integrated approach to improve care. Understanding leisure activity patterns, including benefits and barriers, offers insights to enhance participation and well-being.This study examines factors influencing motivation in individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ), focusing on leisure activity patterns and the role of healthcare professionals. The study identified key themes: activity type, time, frequency, barriers, benefits, and motivation factors. Barriers like inadequate facilities and staff issues hindered participation, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions.
