This study sought to explore the meaning of the recovery process and its stages from the perspective of people attending a mental health day hospital.
A descriptive exploratory qualitative study was carried out. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people attending a mental health day hospital. The data were analysed deductively by means of content analysis.
The participants described the recovery process as a process based on three pillars; the attitude towards recovery, hardship, and the effort required throughout the process. Regarding the stages of recovery, for the participants in the first stage of the process (Moratorium), the search for hope was the most important element. In the second stage (Awareness), the reestablishment of their identity, through the acceptance of the consequences derived from the mental health problem, together with being able to feel full and fulfilled, were the most outstanding elements. In the third stage (Preparation), participants highlighted the search for meaning in life, facing their fears and the process with an open mind. Finally, the last two stages (Rebuilding and Growth) were related to taking responsibility and empowerment for recovery.
The results of this study provide insight into the perception of the recovery process and its stages in people attending a mental health day hospital. These findings may contribute to aligning the nurse-patient perspective, helping nurses to understand the key elements of patients according to their stage of recovery, and thus be able to subsequently individualise interventions.
This study was based on interviews with 15 patients receiving treatment at an adult mental health day hospital. This study would not have been possible without their participation.
本研究旨在从参加心理健康日间医院的人群的角度探讨康复过程及其阶段的意义。
进行了一项描述性探索性定性研究。对参加心理健康日间医院的人进行了半结构化访谈。使用内容分析法对数据进行演绎分析。
参与者将康复过程描述为基于三个支柱的过程；对康复的态度、困难和整个过程中所需的努力。关于康复阶段，对于过程第一阶段（暂停）的参与者（Moratorium），寻找希望是最重要的元素。在第二阶段（意识）中，通过接受心理健康问题带来的后果并能够感到充实和满足，重新建立他们的身份是最突出的要素。在第三阶段（准备）中，参与者强调在生活中寻找意义，面对恐惧并以开放的心态面对这个过程。最后，最后两个阶段（重建和成长）与为康复承担责任和赋权有关。
这项研究的结果深入了解了参加心理健康日间医院的人群对康复过程及其阶段的看法。这些发现可能有助于协调护士与患者的观点，帮助护士根据患者的康复阶段了解患者的关键要素，从而能够随后进行个性化干预。
这项研究基于对 15 名在成人心理健康日间医院接受治疗的患者的访谈。如果没有他们的参与，这项研究是不可能进行的。
