Processes of Recovery in Serious Mental Illness: Findings from a Multinational Study

Abstract

Sammendrag:Som en del av en voksende litteratur som beskriver recoveryprosesser ved psykotiske lidelser, presenterer denne rapporten funn av en intensiv, internasjonal studie. Åpent kvalitative intervjuer ble gjennomført i Italia, Norge, Sverige og USA med til sammen tolv personer som har erfaring med utvinning i psykose. Forskere fra disse landene samarbeidet om å analysere intervjuene og identifisere felles elementer på tvers av de tolv fortellingene.Omsorgsbiblioteket har ikke tilgang til å publisere dette dokumentet i fulltekst.

Recovery After Psychosis: Qualitative Study of Service User Experiences of Lived Experience Videos on a Recovery-Oriented Website (Preprint)

“…Hearing peers' experiences supported participants to have confidence that their own recovery was possible and to persevere with the "hard work" of recovery [3,5]. The peer videos elicited conversations about the participant's life experiences over time and what worked for them, rather than focusing on problems and deficits as can occur in mental health services [13].…”

“…Early experiences of psychosis often occur during adolescence to early adulthood, which irrespective of illness course can lead to persistent social disadvantage [2], so that close relationships, socializing with others, and employment can be difficult to maintain [2,[3][4][5]. Approximately 23% [2] to one third of people with psychotic disorders [1] also experience ongoing symptoms and disability, typically leading to continued engagement with mental health services [1].…”

“…Personal recovery, a process of rebuilding a meaningful life in the context of living with a mental illness, has become an influential way of understanding how people manage their lives after experiencing psychosis [3,[5][6][7]. This understanding has arisen primarily from consumer accounts of recovery and is often contrasted with recovery being framed in terms of symptom remission [3].…”

“…This understanding has arisen primarily from consumer accounts of recovery and is often contrasted with recovery being framed in terms of symptom remission [3]. Based on an extensive narrative review and synthesis of literature about recovery, Leamy et al [8] summarise recovery as being an active, individual and non-linear journey that may occur in phases and is influenced by five recovery processes: connectedness, hope, identity, meaning and empowerment, for which the acronym CHIME was chosen.…”

The Development of a Recovery-Oriented Mental Health System in Canada: What the Experience of Commonwealth Countries Tells Us

“…Davidson and Roe (2007) present the conceptual dichotomy between them as "recovery in" versus "recovery from" mental illness. "Recovery in" mental illness, the consumer standpoint, conveys the concept of recovery as ongoing or without an endpoint (Davidson, Borg et al, 2005;Davidson & Staynor, 1997;Smith, 2000;Spaniol, Wewiorski, Gagne, & Anthony, 2002;Tooth, Kalyanasundaram, Glover, & Momenzadah, 2003;Young & Ensing, 1999). Other studies describe "recovery in" as a process that focuses on the concept of self, or personal identity (Davidson & Strauss, 1992;Jacobson, 2001;Kelly & Gamble, 2005;Lunt, 2000;Oades et al, 2005;Schiff, 2004;Tooth et al, 2003).…”
