Eight participants were recruited from a mental wellness centre run by SRACP in Hong Kong. The participants were interviewed with a focus on the factors they had found helpful in their experience of recovering from mental disorders. Analysed results identified seven themes: (1) receiving support from one or more helping professionals; (2) work; (3) social relationships; (4) treatments; (5) changes in own beliefs and attitudes; (6) self-management, and (7) religion. These themes are explored in this paper, which proposes that the practices of a mental health service can be better oriented towards recovery if there is increased focus on these different aspects of recovery.摘要:本研究在香港善导会的精神健康中心招募了八位参与者。参与者根据自己的经验聚焦回答他们认为有助其精神复康过程的因素。分析结果可以分为七个主题:(1)获得一名或以上的专业辅导人员的支援;(2)工作;(3)社会关系;(4)治疗;(5)个人信念和态度上的改变;(6)自我管理,以及(7)宗教信仰。本文探讨了以上七个主题,并提议如果加倍注意以上康复过程的不同面向,将可以令精神健康服务的实践更加有效。Keywords:: mental recoverylived experiencesnarrativeswellnesspsychiatric Notes1.
