“…Similar findings have been echoed in other Asian studies, which showed that people were likely to hide their symptoms or not talk about them for fear of being viewed as different or weird (Gopal et al, 2020; M. M. Lam et al, 2011; Suryani et al, 2022; Wang, 2012). Hence, by not being able to live authentically, participants struggled to find a reason to carry on, with many expressing the desire to become numb or to give up entirely as they could not see the end to their challenges.…”

“…Indeed, there has been a growing body of research in Asian cultural environments which demonstrates the importance of these efforts as they bring new contextual factors that need to be considered (Gearing et al, 2022; Lai et al, 2021; J. S. H. Lam et al, 2021; Meheli et al, 2021; Subandi et al, 2021; Suryani et al, 2022; Tasijawa et al, 2021; Tsoi et al, 2022; Yoder et al, 2021). Hence, this study sought to deepen these ideas by exploring and shedding light on the lived experiences of people who experience mental ill health in Singapore.…”

Background: Since the 1990s, the mental healthcare field has begun shifting to conceptualisations of personal mental health recovery, emphasising the heterogeneous nature of how people develop and overcome the difficulties associated with mental ill health. Despite three decades of research on the topic, most recovery-oriented studies have been conducted in predominantly Western cultures, lacking the necessary nuances when applied in Asian settings. Aims: We sought to contribute to a growing body of research to fill this gap by exploring the experiences of people who experience mental ill-health in Singapore. Method: We adopted a constructivist grounded theory approach and interviewed 21 people who had been diagnosed as experiencing a mental health condition. Results: The core category emerging from interview participant perspectives was a ‘roller coaster ride of confusion’. This overarching category was made up of the following four sub-categories – ‘not understanding what was happening’, ‘losing control over self’, ‘unpacking the root of challenges’ and ‘trying to make sense of the situation’. Conclusions: Taken together, the journey of a person experiencing mental health recovery in Singapore is filled with obstacles and uncertainty due to various social and cultural influences such as family pressures, the competitiveness of society and the high-pressure nature of Singapore’s educational system. Future research needs to better understand if these are generalisable experiences, and interventions to mitigate their impact need to be explored. Given the strong societal influences, change will take time. Still, this study gives a voice to the lived experiences of people who face mental health challenges in Singapore in the hope that their insights may assist future generations in developing a more mentally healthy society.

“…This encouraging finding suggests that, upon exposure to perspectives on the personal-recovery approach, they might better appreciate its clinical value for MHCs. However, within the context of Asia, cultural differences are inherent to the construct of personal recovery and its associated features (Bingham and Kelley, 2022;Fujisawa, 2023;Lai et al, 2021;Lam et al, 2021;Lee et al, 2021;Meheli et al, 2021;Suryani et al, 2022;Tasijawa et al, 2021;Tsoi et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2021aYu et al, , 2021b, for which further research is thus warranted to validate these findings and explore potential differences. For example, in Singapore, recovery is more intertwined with community acceptance and social cohesion than western perspectives which tend to be viewed as a more individual experience (Kuek et al, 2023).…”

Introduction: In occupational therapy, emphasis is placed on the complex interplay between the client, the occupation and the environment, providing an opportunity for its practitioners to adopt recovery-oriented outcomes in interventions for people with mental health conditions. In this study, we seek to understand occupational therapy undergraduates’ perceptions of recovery for people with mental health conditions. Method: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted at a university in Singapore, which provides a pre-registration occupational therapy programme. Seventeen undergraduates were recruited (year 1, n = 5; year 2, n = 7 and year 3, n = 5). A semi-structured interview guide was used during the interview. Data collection took place from June to August 2022. Results: Using thematic analysis, two macro themes were discerned: the understanding of mental health conditions and the meanings of recovery. Sub-themes were created under each grouping to describe the data. Conclusions: This study explored the perceptions of mental health recovery among occupational therapy undergraduates. Occupational therapy students appeared to be well-aligned with personal and functional recovery perspectives when providing support for people with mental health conditions. However, there seems to be a need to emphasise the more nuanced aspects of delivering care within the culturally diverse setting of Singapore.

This study aims to explore the factors that influence hope in schizophrenia survivors at the Bumi Kaheman Rehabilitation Center. The method used is a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study. The results of the study show that the factors that influence hope in schizophrenia survivors at the Bumi Kaheman Rehabilitation Center are social support, anxiety, recovery, and quality of life. This is shown by the p value of the relationship between hope and social support, anxiety, recovery, and quality of life which is less than 0.05. Hope is important in improving the care process carried out by schizophrenia survivors. Efforts to increase hope can be done by providing interventions that focus on the factors that affect hope. In conclusion, the factors that affect hope in schizophrenic patients consist of social support, anxiety, recovery, and quality of life. Keywords: Factors, Hope, Schizophrenia
