Research on the role of social support in recovery from severe mental illness is limited and even more limited is research on the potential effects of participating in various activities. This study explores these relationships by analyzing baseline data from a 153-participant subsample in the Study of Transitions and Recovery Strategies. Higher scores on the recovery assessment scale were related to both social support/network size and engagement in more activities. The particular nature of the activities (more/less social, more/less physically active, inside/outside the home) was not important, rather, activities of any type were related to recovery. Furthermore, engagement in activities was more important as levels of social support declined. The results suggest that both social support and activities may promote recovery, and that for persons with poor social support, engagement in a variety of individualized activities may be particularly beneficial.
关于社会支持在严重精神疾病康复中作用的研究有限，而关于参与各种活动的潜在影响的研究则更为有限。本研究通过分析“过渡与康复策略研究”中一个153名参与者的子样本的基线数据来探讨这些关系。康复评估量表得分较高与社会支持/社交网络规模以及参与更多活动均相关。活动的具体性质（社交性更强/较弱、身体活动更多/更少、在家内/外）并不重要，相反，任何类型的活动都与康复相关。此外，随着社会支持水平下降，参与活动变得更为重要。结果表明，社会支持和活动都可能促进康复，并且对于社会支持较差的人来说，参与各种个性化活动可能特别有益。
