ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The use of recovery-oriented practice (ROP) can be challenging to implement in mental health services. This qualitative sub-study of the Principles Unite Local Services Assisting Recovery (PULSAR) project explored how consumers perceive their recovery following community mental health staff undertaking specific ROP training.METHODS:
Using a qualitative participatory methodology, 21 consumers (aged 18-63 years) participated in one-on-one interviews. A thematic analysis was applied.RESULTS:
Four main themes were extracted (1) connection, (2) supportive relationships, (3) a better life, and (4) barriers. Connections to community and professional staff were important to support consumers in their recovery journey. Many consumers were seeking and striving towards a better life that was personal and individual to each of them, and how they made meaning around the idea of a better life. Barriers to recovery primarily focused on a lack of choice. A minor theme of 'uncertainty' suggested that consumers struggled to identify what their recovered future might entail.CONCLUSION:
Despite staff undertaking the ROP training, all participants struggled to identify language and aspects of recovery in their interaction with the service, suggesting a need for staff to promote open, collaborative conversations around recovery. A specifically targeted recovery resource might facilitate such conversation.Palabras clave
