Sponsor's own description
The project focuses on patients with severe mental disorders (SMD) residing in Italian mental health supported accommodation (SA). Although the goal of SA is to promote personal recovery - that is, living life to the fullest of one's potential - international literature on this topic is scarce, and traditional treatments in the Italian residential system show limitations in adopting such approaches. The research hypothesis is that activating personal recovery pathways could improve the biopsychosocial outcomes of patients, caregivers, and professionals. To test this hypothesis, a non-pharmacological, non-randomized interventional trial will compare two groups: one group of individuals with SMD receiving recovery-oriented treatment, using the Mental Health Recovery Star, and another group of individuals with SMD receiving standard treatment. The Mental Health Recovery Star is a ten-pointed star-shaped tool that represents various life dimensions. Patients, together with their key professional, are expected to negotiate a score for each domain on the five-stage 'Scale of Change,' capturing and monitoring the different phases of the recovery process.
