Shrnutí:There has been limited research on personal recovery during a hospital admission. However, studies in this setting indicate that consumers' experiences of personal recovery, during an inpatient admission, may not mirror the experiences of consumers living in the community, which has been conceptualised by the CHIME processes of Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment. Findings to date posit that inpatients may be more likely to experience disconnection and hopelessness. To investigate this further, staff working in a private hospital mental health service designed and implemented a research project to understand personal recovery from patients' perspectives. The method comprised four consumer focus groups (n = 16 participants). Researchers analysed the data using inductive thematic analysis, identifying three themes: different pathways reflecting each patient's individual journey to personal recovery; challenges including experiencing hopelessness and distress, ups and downs, it not being easy, isolation and lack of support; and living well including wanting to return to everyday living, hope and acceptance, and feeling empowered. The findings suggest that the CHIME conceptualisation of recovery may need to be revised to include the experiences of hospital patients. The conceptualisation of recovery as a dynamic spectrum, with recovery moving up and down between challenges and living well may better represent hospital patient experiences. Patients also talked about a process not included in CHIME, of returning to ‘everyday living’ which was about getting back to doing everyday activities that most of us take for granted.
