Hope is a key construct for successful community adjustment among those with severe mental illnesses, particularly given the strengths-based recovery model increasingly prevalent in mental health services and in social work. Consumer-run mental health self-help agencies (SHAs) are well suited to fostering hope via their supportive program environments. This study examines factors associated with hope among members of four self-help agencies via a two-stage least squares regression model (N = 310). Findings provide evidence of both individual and program-level associations with hope. These findings mirror social work ethical values of focusing on consumer strengths and self-determination, which are primary goals of SHAs.
希望是严重精神疾病患者成功融入社区的关键因素,特别是考虑到基于优势的康复模式在心理健康服务和社会工作中越来越普遍。消费者运营的心理健康自助机构(SHA)非常适合通过其支持性的项目环境来培养希望。本研究通过两阶段最小二乘回归模型(N = 310)研究了四个自助机构成员中与希望相关的因素。研究结果提供了个体层面和项目层面与希望相关的证据。这些结果反映了社会工作关注消费者优势和自决的伦理价值观,而这正是自助机构的主要目标。
