“…Their positive attitudes to recovery improved (P < 0.01) on exit from placement, with consistent understandings of personal recovery also reported in the qualitative data. While there are no prior reports on recovery attitudes of undergraduate nursing students, these findings are generally consistent with the wider literature in mental health, where clinicians' recovery attitudes have been positive prior to recovery education intervention in health services (total score mean = 3.8 to 4.2), and improved further following education (mean = 4.3-4.4) (Chiba et al 2016;Deane et al 2018;Hornik-Lurie et al 2018). There are no prior studies to compare students' written understandings of personal recovery with; however, our qualitative findings indicated that on placement exit, students developed mental health literacy in terms of using more appropriate language to describe personal recovery.…”

Undergraduate nursing students have been reported to hold negative and stigmatizing attitudes towards mental health consumers and to be under‐prepared for mental health clinical placement. This study aimed to investigate undergraduate nurses’ stigma and recovery attitudes to mental illness, and describe their understandings of personal recovery on entry and exit to traditional mental health clinical placement. A pre/post‐test survey was administered to N = 249 nursing students in Australia. Demographic data, attitudes towards mental health nursing and clinical placement, the Opening Minds Scale for Healthcare Providers (OMS‐HC), Recovery Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ‐7), and an open‐ended question on understandings of personal recovery from mental illness were collected on entry (T1) and exit (T2) to placement. At T1, students reported moderate stigma and positive attitudes towards recovery (OMS‐HC mean = 34.6; RAQ‐7 mean = 4.0). At T2, there was a reduction in stigma (social distance P = 0.02, d = 0.26) and improvement in recovery attitudes (P < 0.01, d = 0.40). Attitudes towards mental health nursing and placement also improved (P < 0.01). Having a family member with mental illness predicted improvements in stigma and recovery attitudes. On entry to placement, most students described accurate understandings of personal recovery, which were maintained during placement. The findings indicate that mental health clinical placements are effective in improving students’ mental health stigma and recovery attitudes and provide a prime opportunity to attract students into the field. Co‐produced or consumer‐led education provided by peer workers during clinical placements may improve students’ stigmatizing attitudes and stimulate their interest to work in the field.

“…We also tested the fit of the whole model having added only a specific item (see Table 3 and Table S2). All items added to each subscale (11,13,14,33,37, and 39) improved its internal reliability and the fit of the whole model considered as unidimensional, without substantially affecting the fit of the four-dimensional model. As it can be seen in Table S2, adding item 21 worsened all unidimensionality parameters.…”

We aimed at developing and validating a scale on the beliefs and attitudes of mental health professionals towards services users’ rights in order to provide a valid evaluation instrument for training activities with heterogeneous mental health professional groups. Items were extracted from a review of previous instruments, as well as from several focus groups which have been conducted with different mental health stakeholders, including mental health service users. The preliminary scale consisted of 44 items and was administered to 480 mental health professionals. After eliminating non-discriminant and low weighting items, a final scale of 25 items was obtained. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses produced a four-factor solution consisting of the following four dimensions; system criticism/justifying beliefs, freedom/coercion, empowerment/paternalism, and tolerance/discrimination. The scale shows high concordance with our theoretical model as well as adequate parameters of explained variance, model fit, and internal reliability. Additional work is required to assess the cultural equivalence and psychometrics of this tool in other settings and populations, including health students.

“…Some measures assessed recovery in MHPs in the context of training and workshops. For instance, the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (Doughty et al 2008), Staff Attitudes to Recovery Scale (Crowe et al 2006), and Strengths Model Skills Survey (Deane et al 2019) measures were developed to assess the pre-and post-recovery knowledge and attitudes of MHPs.…”

Recovery is internationally recognized as a concept to improve the well-being of consumers. Compared with the numerous measures assessing consumer perspectives of recovery, only a few measures have been developed to assess Mental Health Professionals' (MHPs) perspectives of recovery to inform practice. The present study aims to systematically review the literature to identify existing measures designed to assess MHPs' perspectives of recovery and evaluate their psychometric properties, and the methodological considerations of the design and use of these measures. We searched literature across eight electronic databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PsyArticles, CINAHL, Scopus, EMBASE, and Google scholar. We identified 2631 articles across all databases. Of these, 40 articles met the inclusion criteria, which comprised 14 original measures assessing mental health recovery and 26 articles reassessing the psychometric properties of the original 14 measures. Our results suggested that while there are existing measures for assessing MHPs' perspectives of recovery, only a few of these measures met standard evaluation criteria for psychometric properties. Specifically, the validation of the identified measures is still in its infancy. For example, the easiness of applying the measures differs among the studies, and only a few of the measures fully involved consumers in the scale development phase. The implication of the findings for future use and development of recovery measures in mental health practice and research are discussed and recommended.
