Recovery-oriented service provision and clinical outcomes in assertive community treatment.

Abstract

These findings provide some preliminary support for an association between recovery-oriented service delivery for persons with severe mental illnesses and better outcomes. In line with the current practice commentary, this association would suggest the importance of evaluating and cultivating recovery-oriented values and practices in ACT contexts. This is a particularly salient point given that ACT standards minimally address key domains of recovery-oriented service provision. Further study is required, however, to determine if these findings apply to the implementation of ACT in other jurisdictions or generalize to other community support programs.

Mental health consumer participation in education: a structured literature review

“…Evidence is emerging that recovery‐oriented practice is associated with improved outcomes for consumers (e.g. Crane‐Ross, Lutz & Roth, ; Cuddeback et al ., ; Kidd et al ., ).…”

Integrated care in patients with schizophrenia

“…This could be probably due to the following reasons. Second, fidelities of the different integrated care models vary widely in conducted studies, with different degrees of fidelity of the ACT team [11,[25][26][27] and higher model fidelity probably leading to better outcomes [26,[28][29][30].

Measuring the Capacity of Staff Culture to Further Recovery from Psychiatric Disabilities

“…The Recovery Self-Assessment has been used to test staff change after a year-long training effort on recovery 17. In a study of 67 Canadian ACT programs, the Recovery Self-Assessment was used to assess the relationship between recovery-orientation and outcomes and recovery-orientation and ACT fidelity 18, 19…”
