“…Consumer choice is universally understood as important and its merits well-documented, including a range of positive outcomes such as reduced psychiatric symptomatology, and increased residential stability and social integration (Greenwood, Schaefer-McDaniel, Winkel, & Tsemberis, 2005;Gulcur, Tsemberis, Stefancic, & Greenwood, 2007;Nelson, Sylvestre, Aubry, George, & Trainor, 2007;O'Connell, Rosenheck, Kasprow, & Frisman, 2006;Padgett et al, 2006;Srebnik, Livingston, Gordon, & King, 1995). Yet systematic reviews of HF programs have cautioned that its effects on outcomes are mixed and "very complex" and its operationalization variable and "lacking specificity" (Johnsen & Teixeira, 2010;C.…”

“…Living in one's preferred home predicts successful outcomes and is associated with perceived choice and control over the environment (Boydell, 2006;Nelson, Sylvestre, Aubry, George, & Trainor, 2007). By contrast, service providers tend to endorse structured settings such as group homes for their clients (Corrigan, Mueser, Bond, Drake, & Solomon, 2008;Tsai, Bond, Salyers, Godfrey, & Davis, 2010).…”

Objective-Stable housing is a fundamental human right, and an important element for both mental health recovery and social inclusion among people with serious mental illness. This article reports findings from a study on the recovery orientation of structured congregate community housing services using the Recovery Self-Assessment Questionnaire (RSA) adapted for housing (O'Connell, Tondora, Croog, Evans, & Davidson, 2005).Methods-The RSA questionnaires were administered to 118 residents and housing providers from 112 congregate housing units located in Montreal, Canada.Results-Residents rated their homes as significantly less recovery-oriented than did proprietors, which is contrary to previous studies of clinical services or Assertive Community Treatment where RSA scores for service users were significantly higher than service provider scores. Findings for both groups suggest the need for improvement on 5 of 6 RSA factors. While proprietors favored recovery training and education, and valued resident opinion and experience, vestiges of a traditional medical model governing this housing emerged in other findings, as in agreement between the 2 groups that residents have little choice in case management, or in the belief among proprietors that residents are unable to manage their symptoms. Research on housing for people with SMI increasingly favors independent, supported, housing over traditional congregate models such as foster homes or group homes. While supported housing is considered a fundamental improvement in housing for this population (Nelson, 2010), no single, evidence-based model of housing has emerged to guide research and practice (Rog, 2004;Tabol, Drebing, & Rosenheck, 2010). Studies have revealed substantial differences in staffing, levels of support, and environmental characteristics among different housing types, as well as definitional confusion (Isaac, 2007;Priebe, Saidi, Want, Mangalore, & Knapp, 2009). One meta-analysis suggested the need to examine outcomes in terms of different population subgroups (Leff et al., 2009). Conclusions and Implications for Practice-ThisResearch on housing preferences consistently shows that people with SMI prefer independent housing with low restrictiveness and supports as needed (Fakhoury, Murray, Shepherd, & Priebe, 2002;Forchuk, Nelson, & Hall, 2006;. Living in one's preferred home predicts successful outcomes and is associated with perceived choice and control over the environment (Boydell, 2006;Nelson, Sylvestre, Aubry, George, & Trainor, 2007). By contrast, service providers tend to endorse structured settings such as group homes for their clients (Corrigan, Mueser, Bond, Drake, & Solomon, 2008;Tsai, Bond, Salyers, Godfrey, & Davis, 2010). Residents in congregate housing may also prefer that model for the security it provides, particularly when age and physical health concerns are taken into account (White, 2013;.Other research has identified key elements in recovery-oriented housing, beginning with the assumption that residents are full citizens wi...

“…Le choix de l'hébergement semble également grandement déterminer la satisfaction des usagers et usagères envers celui-ci (Srebnik, Livingston, Gordon et King, 1995). Nelson, Sylvestre, Aubry, George et Trainor (2007) ont démontré que la perception d'avoir le choix de son hébergement chez les personnes atteintes d'une maladie mentale faisait en sorte que l'on y soit davantage attaché et, par voie de conséquences, d'en faire une évaluation qualitative plus positive. Wong, Filoromo et Tennille (2007) ont tenté d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les principes soutenant l'autodétermination des usagers et usagères, tels que le choix de l'hébergement et le contrôle sur les soins, les règlements ou la vie privée, trouvaient leur application dans la pratique en santé mentale.…”

RésuméCette recherche vise à mieux comprendre le rôle de l'hébergement dans le rétablissement des personnes vivant avec une maladie mentale grave. Quarante résidents et résidentes de différents types d'hébergement communautaire structuré ont été interrogés sur les conditions d'hébergement qui favorisent leur rétablissement. Les résultats indiquent qu'aux yeux des résidents et résidentes, les conditions matérielles d'existence ont une influence déterminante sur le rétablissement. Leurs préoccupations s'articulent autour des besoins de base tels que l'alimentation, le coût, les commodités et la qualité de leur hébergement. Les relations sociales avec leur entourage immédiat ont également une grande influence sur le rétablissement des personnes, lesquelles souhaitent d'abord conserver leurs modestes acquis, tant matériels que sociaux. Cette stabilité est prérequise à leur rétablissement. AbstractThe aim of this study is to better understand the role of housing in the recovery of people living with severe mental illness. Forty residents of various kinds of structured community housing facilities were questioned about housing conditions that were favourable to their recovery. The
