“…On the other hand, hopefuls take lesson from adverse events instead of focusing on them and use them to pursue future goals [36]. Based on what was mentioned, hopefuls show greater commitment towards mental health, life satisfaction, and greater adaptability in case of encountering challenges and seek help from multiple support sources and consequently, experience less distress and mental challenges [37].…”

“…With evidence of cultural variations in impact of illness on self-esteem, internalized stigma, sense of agency and empowerment [19] this presents a promising avenue for future studies. Future research studies can add to the limited knowledge about the impact of 'illness identity' [20] and disruptions in the sense of self on recovery processes in severe mental illnesses. Efforts to explore such lived experiences must recognise that 'double-blind is not the only way to see' [18] and include qualitative methodologies as well.…”

Recovery oriented services extend beyond reduction of psychiatric symptoms and focus on helping individuals reconstruct their lives in a meaningful way. This case report describes the rehabilitation interventions with a 37 year old woman with chronic schizophrenia and residual disability during a four-month inpatient stay. These comprised individual supportive psychotherapy with vocational rehabilitation, social skills training and behavioural management components. Family intervention addressed maternal criticality and over involvement. The reduction of internalized stigma and changes in the family interactions and dynamics were important for achieving therapeutic gains. The therapeutic process demonstrates how a person's selfhood can expand beyond being defined by the illness by restoring the sense of agency and generating hope. The therapeutic challenges, implications for clinical practice, rehabilitation services and future research are discussed.

RESUMOObjetivo: Adaptar para o Brasil e investigar a confiabilidade e validade da Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) em pessoas com esquizofrenia. Métodos: Etapa 1 -foi realizada tradução profissional para o português, adaptação e retrotradução da RAS. Etapa 2 -estudo-piloto em um grupo de 12 pessoas com esquizofrenia para garantir compreensão dos itens da escala. Etapa 3 -As pessoas com esquizofrenia (N = 104) foram submetidas à versão brasileira da RAS e a instrumentos de funcionalidade, qualidade de vida e sintomas para busca de evidências de validade. Resultados: Os resultados revelaram bons índices de consistência interna e de precisão teste e reteste dos instrumentos. Foram estabelecidas evidências de validade convergente entre a RAS e medidas de qualidade de vida (r = 0,58; p < 0,001), funcionamento ocupacional (r = 0,40; p < 0,001), habilidades de vida independente (r = 0,24; p < 0,02), gravidade (CGI, r = -0,31; p < 0,003) sintomas da esquizofrenia: PANSS total (r = -0,21; p < 0,05), PANSS negativa (r = -0,28; p < 0.007), PANSS positiva (r = -0.08; p = 0,437)] e depressão [Calgary (r = -0,27; p < 0,01)]. A análise fatorial exploratória revelou seis fatores, sendo quatro destes similares a estudos prévios. Conclusão: A partir deste estudo, considerou-se que a palavra "superação" reflete melhor o conceito de "recovery". A versão brasileira da escala RAS é um instrumento válido e reprodutível para aferir a capacidade de "superação" das pessoas com esquizofrenia.
