Being more satisfied with romantic relationship status is associated with increased mental wellbeing in people with experience of psychosis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Romantic relationships represent one of the most salient sources of social support. In general population studies, they are associated with both physical and psychological benefits. Research suggests that for people with psychosis, romantic relationships may also have a positive impact on a range of outcomes, but the reasons for these associations are still unclear. This study aims to investigate whether satisfaction with romantic relationships status is associated with better wellbeing outcomes in people with experience of psychosis and explore three possible psychological mediators of this relationship.

Methods

Participants who had previously sought support for psychosis (n = 190) completed an online survey including measures of relationship status satisfaction
