Recovery is a complex and multifaceted concept and it varies significantly from individual to individual. There are also different opinions on factors which actually work as facilitators and some other factors that hinder the process of recovery. The study aimed at exploring the perceptions of the nursing students about recovery of persons with mental illness and identifying the factors affecting recovery. The present study deals only with the qualitative approach findings. Based on convenience sampling and their willingness, 460 undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students from various colleges of nursing in India who came for clinical experience to a neuropsychiatry super-speciality institute in South India took part in the study. A semi-structured validated and pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the students. Thematic analysis was conducted further using atlas.ti software. Majority (86.5%) of the students were female and undergraduates (77.6%). Around 4% (n = 19) of the students had family history of mental illness whereas more than half (54.1%) of the students had experience of taking care of persons with mental illness. The major themes identified were: Concept of recovery, Facilitators of recovery from mental illness, Barriers of recovery from mental illness and Ways to overcome those issues. The study provides the preliminary findings of nursing students' perception of recovery from mental illness. This study has helped not only to identify factors affecting recovery, but it has also provided important insights for future work on interventions to improve perceptions of this section of the mental health workforce.

Developing a model of recovery in mental health
BMC Health Services Research, 2009
The recovery process is characterized by the interaction of a set of individual, environmental and organizational conditions common to different people suffering with a mental health problem.

The aim of this study is to put forward a theoretical model of the recovery process for people with mental health problem schizophrenic, affective, anxiety and borderline personality disorders, family members and a significant care provider.
Recovery from Serious Mental Illness: A Concept Analysis
This paper examines the concept of recovery in the context of serious mental illness. The analysis uses literature from multiple health care disciplines and different uses of "recovery" in everyday language, technical applications, and popular culture. This iterative process concludes with a definition of recovery from serious mental illness: a nonlinear process of self-organization and adaptation that offsets the personal disintegration of mental illness and enables the individual to reconceive his or her sense of self and well-being on all biopsychosocial levels. The relevance of the concept is reevaluated with this definition for potential usage in the mental health care setting.

This study aimed to investigate attitudes toward personal recovery in a sample of 436 healthcare professionals and students of psychiatric rehabilitation techniques through the Italian version of the recovery knowledge inventory (RKI). The sample in our study showed a good global orientation toward recovery. Statistically significant differences were found among mental health professionals based on gender difference, professional role, and level of experience. Women seemed more inclined to accept users' decision-making processes, including therapeutic risk-taking. Nurses seemed more cautious in considering the users able to "live beyond their illness". Professionals with fewer than 15 years of experience had more favorable attitudes and expectations than the more experienced respondents. Students had more optimistic expectations regarding recovery than nurses and social workers. Academic curriculum development for students and training courses for mental health professionals could further improve the homogeneity in attitudes and skills in the support of users' "unique" recovery processes.
Concept analysis of recovery in mental illness in young adulthood
Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 2015
Recovery, as a concept, emerged as a core philosophy of the service user movement that began in the late 1960s and 1970s. Previous reviews on recovery in mental health have presented definitions or a conceptual framework; however, over time it has been open to disparate interpretations. Aim: To conduct the first concept analysis of mental health recovery in young adulthood within various multidisciplinary contexts. Method: Rodgers"s (2000) six-stepped evolutionary method enabled the analysis of recovery"s conceptual characteristics, the identification of an exemplar and the proposition of a hypothesis with implications for practice. Results: The derivation of the term recovery does not convey its" identified conceptual characteristics. Identified attributes include the reawakening of hope, reclaiming a positive self and meaning through personal growth. Antecedents include the disruption of illness, stigmatisation, internal inventory and contemplative recovery. Identified consequences include the return to normality, reconstruction of self and active social connection. Conclusion/ Implications for Practice: The new conceptual definition is the reawakening of hope and rediscovery of a positive sense of self, through finding meaning and purpose within personal growth and connection using creative self-care coping strategies. This paper reveals an apparent disparity between professional and personal interpretations of recovery. Therefore, the implication for mental health nursing is the congruence of recovery-orientated practice with the process of recovery experienced by young adult service users.

Myth of mental health nursing and the challenge of recovery
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2011
Although the concept of 'mental health nursing' has grown in popularity over the past 35 years, it remains a myth. People believe that they know what it is and value it highly, but cannot describe or define it other than in vague terms. This paper briefly charts the rise of 'mental health nursing', emphasizing its political implications, and in particular, the drive towards an embrace of a person-centred, recovery-focused approach to care. If nurses are to realize such ambitions, they must resolve their historical association with psychiatric nursing. The concept of the 'mental health nurse' might signal the emergence of a new vision for human services, but might also signal the need for 'mental health nurses' to negotiate a formal separation from the traditional 'psychiatric' family.
