This study explored the experience of individuals with SLE, identify their challenges and the individual coping strategies including the support system available. Eight SLE patients diagnosed with SLE for two years or more were interviewed using semi-structured interview via telephone call.

The Positive Psychology PERMA Model and Self-determination Theory as their coping strategies are discussed.
