“…In our cross-sectional validation study of the MHSQ (Coulombe et al, 2015 ), positive mental health was associated positively with empowerment and vitality strategies but unrelated to clinical ones. Depressive and anxiety symptom severity indicators were found to be negatively related to empowerment and vitality strategies.…”

“…The present study was part of a larger research project to validate the (MHSQ, see Section Self-Management). Validation results have been published elsewhere (Coulombe et al, 2015 ). Using data from that study, the present paper is distinct by virtue of its different analytical strategy (person-oriented analysis) and its consideration of an array of variables (e.g., gender, low income, personal goals, etc.)…”

“…The final sample was composed of 149 participants. The detailed sample description has been published in the MHSQ validation paper (Coulombe et al, 2015 ). The majority of participants reported having been diagnosed with a depressive disorder (55.7%), while self-reported anxiety (36.9%), and bipolar (36.2%) disorders were less prevalent.…”

“…Based on this qualitative study (Villaggi et al, 2015 ), our research team developed the Mental Health Self-management Questionnaire (MHSQ), the first instrument to provide a quantitative indicator of the frequency with which people use a diversity of strategies (Coulombe et al, 2015 ). The validation study revealed three distinct types of self-management strategies: (a) clinical (getting help and using resources, e.g., taking medication, consulting a professional); (b) empowerment (building upon strengths and positive self-concept to gain control, e.g., acknowledging one's successes, arranging one's schedule around one's capabilities); and (c) vitality (having an active and healthy lifestyle, e.g., practicing sports, maintaining healthy eating habits).…”

“…Treatments currently in progress are another factor to consider. People with more severe symptoms could be more likely to receive mental health services (Hämäläinen et al, 2008 ) and concomitantly to display a profile characterized by the use of self-management strategies focused on symptoms (Coulombe et al, 2015 ).…”

Context: A shift toward person-centered care has been occurring in services provided to people with mood and anxiety disorders. Recovery is recognized as encompassing personal aspects in addition to clinical ones. Guidelines now recommend supporting people's engagement in self-management as a complementary recovery avenue. Yet the literature lacks evidence on how individualized combinations of self-management strategies used by people relate to their clinical and personal recovery indicators.Objectives: The aims of this study were to identify profiles underlying mental health recovery, describe the characteristics of participants corresponding to each profile, and examine the associations of profiles with criterion variables.Method: 149 people recovering from anxiety, depressive, or bipolar disorders completed questionnaires on self-management, clinical recovery (symptom severity), personal recovery (positive mental health), and criterion variables (personal goal appraisal, social participation, self-care abilities, coping).Results: Latent profile analysis (LPA) revealed three profiles. The Floundering profile included participants who rarely used self-management strategies and had moderately severe symptoms and the lowest positive mental health. The Flourishing profile was characterized by frequent use of self-empowerment strategies, the least severe symptoms, and the highest positive mental health. Participants in the Struggling profile engaged actively in several self-management strategies focused on symptom reduction and healthy lifestyle. They concomitantly reported high symptom severity and moderately high positive mental health. The study revealed that Floundering was associated with higher probabilities of being a man, being single, and having a low income. People in the Flourishing profile had the most favorable scores on criterion variables, supporting the profiles' construct validity.Discussion: The mixed portrait of Struggling participants on recovery indicators suggests the relationship between health engagement and recovery is more intricate than anticipated. Practitioners should strive for a holistic understanding of their clients' self-management strategies and recovery indicators to provide support personalized to their profile. While people presenting risk factors would benefit from person-centered support, societal efforts are needed in the long term to reduce global health inequalities. The integration of constructs from diverse fields (patient-centered care, chronic illness, positive psychology) and the use of person-oriented analysis yielded new insights into people's engagement in their health and well-being.

AimsThe study aims to better understand the relationship between sense of community (SOC) and wellbeing from multiple analytical perspectives, considering different aspects of wellbeing and individual contextual factors.MethodsFour hundred and ninety‐one adults from Québec, Canada, completed an online survey, and 296 also completed it a month later. We explored 1) cross‐sectional associations between SOC and wellbeing, 2) latent profiles of people, underlying the association between SOC and wellbeing, and 3) cross‐lagged relationships between SOC and wellbeing.ResultsCorrelation and regression showed that SOC and wellbeing were related cross‐sectionally, although the association with negative wellbeing was weaker. Latent profile analysis identified four profiles showing differing SOC‐wellbeing associations. Cross‐lagged analyses showed that over time, SOC only marginally predicted emotional wellbeing but that wellbeing systematically predicted SOC.ConclusionResearchers and psychologists should acknowledge the complexity of relationships between SOC and wellbeing using person‐centered perspectives. Social justice and wellbeing promotion implications are discussed.
