The Recovery Assessment Scale - Domains and Stages (RAS-DS) was designed as a tool to promote collaboration between mental health workers and consumers. However, many workers use it solely for its other purpose-as an outcome measure - and lack knowledge and confidence to use it collaboratively. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the strategies adopted by mental health workers who successfully utilize RAS-DS to facilitate collaborative recovery planning. Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with expert collaborative RAS-DS users and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Participants described implementing a range of strategies to facilitate collaborative practice when using RAS-DS. These included strategies to both encourage consumers to complete RAS-DS in a meaningful way and to facilitate discussions about the results for consumer-driven goals and interventions. Findings provide guidance for mental health workers seeking to use RAS-DS collaboratively to support recovery.
康复评估量表-领域与阶段（RAS-DS）被设计为一种促进心理健康工作者与服务对象合作的工具。然而，许多工作者仅将其用于其他目的——作为一种结果测量工具——并且缺乏进行合作使用的知识和信心。本研究的目的是深入了解成功使用RAS-DS以促进协作康复计划的心理健康工作者所采用的策略。采用定性描述性设计，对RAS-DS协作使用专家进行了半结构化访谈，并运用定性内容分析法进行分析。参与者描述了在使用RAS-DS时实施一系列促进协作实践的策略。这些策略包括鼓励服务对象以有意义的方式完成RAS-DS，以及促进关于以服务对象为导向的目标和干预措施结果的讨论。研究结果为寻求通过合作使用RAS-DS来支持康复的心理健康工作者提供了指导。
