Abstract
Aims: To conduct a systematic review of the qualitative literature investigating how voice-hearers from care-seeking and non-care-seeking populations make meaning of their voice-hearing experiences. Method: PsycInfo, Scopus, CINAHL and MEDLINE electronic databases were systematically searched for relevant qualitative research. Ten primary research studies were identified and assessed as appropriate for inclusion and a thematic synthesis was carried out on the data. Results: Five analytical themes were identified: (1) the meaning making process; (2) explanatory framework for voices; (3) external influences on meaning making; (4) influence on identity; and (5) implications of voice hearing. Conclusion: The exploration of meanings of the voice hearing experience is important to voice hearers. This has implications for how they cope with the experience, the level of input required from services and the effectiveness of interventions. The personal meanings of the voices to the voice hearers should be explored in clinical services.
