Severe Mental-ilness 3
(Subdivision: recovery and rehabilitation in long-term care)
Objectives
To delineate variables that differentiate between successfully recovered patients with long-term severe mental illness and not recovered patients. This from the point of view of patient and practitioner. Patients have to meet the criteria for chronic mental illness. A qualitative research design is used for carrying out in-depth interviews with ten successfully recovered patients and ten not recovered patients.
The Jacobson and Greensley conceptual model of recovery is used for structuring and decoding the interviews.
Collaborations
The managers of the care units for long-term mental patients of GGZinGeest together with the manager ‘Dagbesteding en arbeid’ and a senior-researcher have formed a program-unit that develops a research program ‘recovery’ within the academic working-place Severe Mental Illness (SMI).
Regular contacts with national research partners like the Trimbos-institute have been established.
