| dc.description.abstract | Various studies and researches by almost all psychologists in the world rate schizophrenia as one of the most debilitating mental disorders. It affects people from all walks of life transcending cultures and tribes of different Indigenous Peoples (IPs). It is sad to note, however, that this disorder has a very limited number of researches among Filipino IPs. With this qualitative study,using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the researches aims to understand only on a limited scope how Aetas, particularly the Mag-Antsi tribe, cope and deal with the manifestations of the symptoms of schizophrenia based on their cultural beliefs. At the onset, it can be noted that the scientific description of the disorder is beyond their knowledge and is quite an ambitious task for the researchers to dig information in such a way that scientific and academic functions will not clash with their cultural beliefs and norms. The central question of this study is : How does IPs collectively characterize their cultural understanding on the impression, expression and lived experiences of schizophrenia? A total of six participants were purposively chosen to take part in this study, in-depth interview and some Filipino Indigenous research methods were used. Thus, this paper presents the results of the phenomenological lived experiences of the Aetas of Mag-Antsi tribe in Capas, Tarlac. The findings revealed that ethnic minorities are also vulnerable to mental health issues and schizophrenia has significant cultural variations in presenting the symptoms. | |
