Abstract
- Accessible summary: What is known on the subject?: Mental health treatments have become patient‐centred. Evaluating recovery in people with mental health difficulties living in the community can help to develop better client‐centred services.Community integration is critical to recovery in patients with mental health difficulties. What does this paper add to existing knowledge?: This is the first study to use a single integrated measure of mental health recovery to evaluate the effect of community integration.Physical community integration was the easiest goal for most to reach. Developing independence/self‐actualization was harder.In mental health recovery, most people were able to overcome stuckness. Developing abilities for basic functioning was harder.Participating in mental health centre day programmes promoted mental health recovery in people with mental health difficulties living in the community.Independence/self‐actualization, psychological integration and social support improved mental health recovery in people with mental health difficulties living in the community. What are the implications for practice?: There is a need to develop and actively promote programmes that attract people with mental health difficulties living in the community so that they will actively use mental health centre services.Offering systematic social skills training and occupational rehabilitation therapy to people with mental health difficulties living in the community may help them function independently.Mental health service programmes should provide volunteer opportunities for people with mental health difficulties living in the community to facilitate a sense of belonging.Mental health nurses should serve as a social support resource for people with mental health difficulties living in the community by providing education to family and friends on how to support patients' recovery, and invigorating integration projects such as "making healthy friends." Introduction: Although community integration of people with mental health difficulties and a consumer‐centred recovery paradigm are of global importance, little research has been conducted on community integration factors that directly affect mental health recovery. Aim: This study investigated the relationship between community integration and mental health recovery in people with mental health difficulties living in the community in South Korea. Method: Data were collected from 155 people with mental health difficulties living in the community, using the Self‐Reporting Scale of Community Integration and the Mental Health Recovery Measure (Korean version), and analysed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results: Among the community integration subscales, independence/self‐actualization, psychological integration and social support were significant factors in mental health recovery, explaining 47.3% of the variance. Discussion: An effective intervention strategy for mental health recovery of people with mental health difficulties living in the community may reinforce community integration by carefully considering independence/self‐actualization, psychological integration and social support. Implications for practice: Mental health nurses should provide intervention to people with mental health difficulties living in the community to help them develop strategies for functioning independently, experiencing a sense of achievement and developing a sense belonging in the community.
