“…Exploring the process of recovery from the earliest phases of illness using both qualitative and visual methods has provided an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of recovery that may be achieved for these young adults in this present study. Thus, as stated previously, this article is directed toward understanding how the use of image-based methods, specifically material objects symbolizing recovery from FES, contributed to the theoretical model of recovery that was developed in the study of Romano et al (2010).…”

“…The Present Study: The Process of Recovery from a FES A recently completed constructivist grounded theory study of recovery in FES (Romano, McCay, Goering, Boydell & Zipursky, 2010) employed both verbal and visual data sources and is the focus of this article. This study combined in-depth qualitative interviews with an auto-driven elicitation technique, whereby the research participant "drives" the interview (Clark, 1999).…”

Primary objective: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how material objects symbolizing recovery from a first episode of schizophrenia (FES), captured in photographic images, contributed to the development of a theoretical model of the process of recovery. Research design: This study combined in-depth qualitative interviews with an auto driven elicitation technique. Specifically, young adult participants were asked to select a material object that symbolized their recovery from FES and to describe its inherent meaning. The use of material objects provided an additional layer of data which was triangulated with other data sources in efforts to enhance the understanding of the phenomenon being studied. Methods: In order to aid the analysis of the objects, questions were consolidated and adapted from the literature. Results: In discussing their objects, participants described that maintaining personal interests, taking medications, acknowledging the necessity of time, and continuing to pursue personal ambitions all played a role in promoting recovery and were represented in their self-selected objects. Conclusion: The selected material objects informed the development of a theoretical model of recovery from a FES. They also provided a visual representation of the dimensions that reflect its subjective nature. This paper highlights the value of incorporating image-based methods in future studies. In particular, the use of material objects with carefully chosen elicitation techniques has the capacity to access understanding of a phenomenon under study; the significance of which may not otherwise been fully acquired.

“…The reliability of the instrument applied to these contexts (e.g., clinical staff and carers) has been less extensively evaluated, a surprising observation given the influence of these groups on the patient's response to illness, compliance and engagement with treatment and thus its influence on clinical outcome. Interestingly, within the arena of mental health and major axis I psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, very little research has been conducted to evaluate the measurement properties of the IPQ/IPQ-R, a finding made noteworthy by the recognition of the importance of illness perceptions within recovery models that are highly influential both to the delivery of evidence-informed, person-centered mental healthcare, and to the contextual alignment of treatment intervention to outcome [15,[24][25][26][27].…”

Rationale, aims and objectives: The widely-used Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) adapted for use in patients with major mental health problems and those who care and work with them, was originally developed for evaluating the illness perceptions of patients with physical pathology. There have been concerns expressed regarding the appropriateness of the IPQ and derivative measures of it in axis I disorders such as schizophrenia. The current investigation examined the measurement characteristics of a modified version of the IPQ in mental health practitioners working with patients with schizophrenia co-morbid with learning disability. Method: Two hundred and ten mental health practitioners working with patients with schizophrenia co-morbid with learning disability participated in the study. Contemporary models of the measurement structure of the IPQ were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. The internal reliability of the IPQ was also evaluated. Results: Single factor, 5-factor and 6-factor models were evaluated against data. All models were found to offer a poor fit to the data. The internal reliability of the measure was also found to be unsatisfactory overall. Conclusions: Consistent with one previous study that has found poor measurement characteristics of the IPQ when used in the context of schizophrenia, the current study found the measure to be a poorly performing index of illness perceptions. Echoing previous observations of the use of this tool in axis I disorder, it is recommended that a new measure of illness perceptions be developed using contemporary research methodology sensitive to the context of psychotic illness in order to provide a more effective tool for the provision of person-centered psychiatry and healthcare.
