The recovery-oriented care approach in mental health is recognised as the vision for mental health. People with a diagnosis of mental illness value the support and the individualistic approach emphasised in the recovery-oriented mental health care approach as they believe it facilitates their recovery. However, as a developing country, Botswana has a long way to go in availing mental health care resources to people with mental illness, let alone adopting new mental health approaches such as recovery.
The study aimed to explore the perceptions of nurses working in mental health care facilities of recovery-oriented mental health care.
Four mental health facilities from Botswana consented to participate in the study. A descriptive qualitative approach was utilised to explore nurses' views on how they perceive recovery from mental illness. Thirty nurses participated in the focus group discussions across the four study sites. All participants consented to participate and to be recorded. Tesch's (in Qualitative enquiry and research design: Choosing among five approaches. 3th ed. SAGE, 2013:198) thematic analysis was used for this study.
Three main themes were identified in participants' perceptions of recovery-oriented care mental health: Recovery from mental illness is possible, the Meaning of recovery from mental illness and Factors facilitating recovery from mental illness.
The study offers a perspective into how nurses perceive recovery-oriented approaches from a developing country and add to the gap existing in recovery-oriented mental health care approach from the African context.
心理健康的康复导向型护理方法被认为是心理健康的愿景。被诊断患有精神疾病的人重视支持和康复导向型精神卫生保健方法中强调的个体化方法，因为他们相信这有助于他们康复。然而，作为一个发展中国家，博茨瓦纳在提供精神卫生保健资源方面还有很长的路要走，更不用说采用新的精神卫生方法，如康复。
本研究旨在探讨精神卫生保健机构护士对康复导向型精神卫生保健的看法。
博茨瓦纳的四家精神卫生机构同意参与研究。采用描述性定性方法来探讨护士对他们如何看待从精神疾病中康复的看法。30 名护士在四个研究地点参加了焦点小组讨论。所有参与者都同意参与并被记录。本研究采用了泰斯（在定性探究和研究设计：在五种方法中选择。第 3 版。SAGE，2013：198）的主题分析。
参与者对康复导向型护理的看法有三个主要主题：从精神疾病中康复是可能的、从精神疾病中康复的意义和促进从精神疾病中康复的因素。
该研究提供了一个视角，了解护士如何从发展中国家的角度看待康复导向型方法，并填补了非洲背景下康复导向型精神卫生保健方法存在的空白。
