“…This corresponds with literature describing Recovery (Davidson et al 2005;Marino 2015) and contradicts previously held ideas that mental illness is unremitting and life-long (Chinman et al 2001;Shera & Ramon 2013). These findings also contrast with a recent Australian review which found that although literature on the beliefs of significant others and service provider about Recovery was limited, the studies that did exist indicated negative beliefs on the possibility of Recovery from both service providers and significant others (Jacob et al 2017). Given the critical roles of significant others and service providers in Recovery, these findings are of some concern.…”

In Western nations, the Recovery approach has become a widely accepted philosophy and treatment concept in mental health. Yet, community understanding of the Recovery approach remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate (i) people's awareness of the principles underpinning the Recovery approach in mental health, and (ii) the treatment approaches people consider most important, and whether these align with the Recovery approach. To achieve these aims, a random sample of 1217 Australian adults participated in the National Social Survey (QSS) via telephone interview. People's experience with mental health services, the importance they place on various treatment approaches, and their awareness of principles underpinning the Recovery approach were assessed. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics. Most participants (94%) agreed that 'regardless of the severity of symptoms experienced and/or the mental illness diagnosis, being diagnosed with a mental illness means there is always hope for a meaningful life'. Moreover, most participants considered treatments in line with the Recovery approach as important. However, few participants (35%) agreed with the principle that 'after diagnosis, the person themselves should direct the long-term management of their mental illness, rather than a medical professional'. Australian people were to some extent aware of the principles underpinning the Recovery Approach, particularly with regard to hope, ability to live a meaningful life, and the importance of support from family, friends, and others living with mental illness. Nonetheless, autonomy was not highly prioritized, with the prevailing view that management of mental illness should be directed by the medical profession.

“…Globally, mental health practitioners and consumer groups are advocating for governments to support the use of recovery services because these services ensure effective recovery of mental health consumers [1][2][3][4][5]. Recovery services promote effective restoration of functioning, mental well-being, and quality of life of consumers through a holistic approach [6,7].…”

Recovery services and expectation of consumers and mental health professionals in community-based residential facilities of Ghana

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: In the past decades, considerable global attention has been drawn to recovery services that seek to promote the personal recovery journey of consumers with mental illness. However, in most settings, including Ghana, limited empirical studies have attempted to explore, from the perspectives of Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) and consumers, the effectiveness of recovery services and expectation towards the recovery. This study, therefore, explored consumers' and MHPs perspectives concerning recovery services and expectations towards recovery in two community-based residential facilities in Ghana. Methods: A qualitative method, involving in-depth interviews and observations, were used to collect data from 24 participants (5 MHPs and 19 consumers). Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The study identified three global themes and nine organizing themes. The global themes were recovery services offered to consumers, expectation regarding personal recovery and challenges in achieving recovery. The study found that recovery services were expected to improve the internal and external recovery processes of consumers. The internal recovery process was independent living whilst the external recovery process were management of illness, economic empowerment and social inclusion. Several systemic and consumer-related factors influenced consumers' and MHPs expectation concerning the recovery journey. Conclusion: The study concludes that the government should prioritize the use of recovery services through policies, financial incentives, infrastructure support, and adequate training of MHPs.

“…The module item MH19 (recovery progress) is a tangible measure of perceived progress, or moving forward, which can have an impact upon hope in ways that can be targeted within mental health and addiction services. The module's content aligns with findings from reviews of the personal recovery literature that identify self and relational factors being of importance to recovery that are inclusive of acceptance, understanding from others, belief in recovery, a focus on strengths, personal adjustment and a recovery orientation meaningful to the person concerned [16,27,57,58].…”

Development of a mental health recovery module for the WHOQOL

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose The WHOQOL tools are widely used, multi-faceted, patient-rated, quality of life (QoL) measures, developed by the World Health Organisation. The WHOQOL questionnaires are used to assess generic quality of life issues affected by all health problems. This study developed a module to use with the WHOQOL tools to improve their sensitivity to HRQoL issues relevant to mental health recovery.Methods Using a sequential mixed-methods approach, two research stages occurred. A qualitative stage invited 88 participants with experience of mental health recovery into focus groups and importance rating activities to identify candidate items for the new module. Following this, a quantitative stage involved 667 participants with, and without, mental health/addiction issues completing online or paper-based questionnaires to analyse which candidate items differentiated between those with and without mental health/addiction issues. Classical test theory and iterative Partial Credit Rasch Analysis were used to identify the most suitable candidate items for a reliable and valid mental health recovery module to be used with the WHOQOL tools.
