The Contribution Of The Recovery Self Assessment To The Measurement Of Illness Management And Recovery
Year: 2013
Type: dissertation
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Variables contributing to recovery from mental illness and substance abuse were investigated.These variables included empowerment, sense of community, illness management, self-esteem, self-determination, and the variables of agency, program, gender, age, general type of service, race, and length of service.The study was entirely from the person in recovery perspective, emphasizing self-determination.Participants came from agencies and were currently in recovery programs.The five measures were the Making Decisions -Empowerment Scale (MDE), the Illness Management and Recovery Client Self-rating (IMR), the Sense of Community Index-2 (SCI-2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RES), and the Recovery Self Assessment-Revised (RSA-R).Significant correlations existed between the IMR, the RES, and the RSA-R, but not between the RES and the RSA-R.None of the other variables proved significant in predicting any of the measures.The IMR Client Self-rating served as the dependent variable in a hierarchical multiple regression.Once again, the RES and the RSA-R were the only significant predictors of the IMR.Other hierarchical multiple regressions with the RES and the RSA-R as the dependent variable supported a new theory of recovery.Implications for assessment conclude the discussion of these results.In general, the RSA-R proved itself a valuable measure of recovery in the sample.How well do each of the following statements represent how you feel about this community?(Please blacken the box of the appropriate answer.)
