Abstract: Purpose: This study aimed to design and assess the effectiveness of a Recovery Oriented Program (ROP) in enhancing hope, mental wellbeing, and recovery outcomes for patients with severe mental illness (SMI). Design and methods: two-arm, single-blind, prospective study with 3 months' follow-up on 30 patients with SMI who participated in a two-week recovery program. A total of thirty participants were randomly divided into the ROP group and the Treatment as Usual (TAU) group for the study. Data for the study were gathered using the Adult State Hope Scale, the WHO-5 Wellbeing Index, the clinician version of the Illness Management and Recovery Scale, and the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale. ROP is a therapy intervention consisting of five therapy sessions administered only to the experimental group. Results: The ROP group showed significantly higher scores than the TAU group on the ASHS, WHO MWELL, and IMRS at both 30 and 90 days (p < 0.0001) whereas a marginally non-significant difference was found on the recovery (SOFAS) at day 30 (p = 0.0608), but a significant improvement was observed at day 90 (p = 0.0108). Post-interventional mean scores of outcome variables, i.e., hope (F = 31.836, p = 0.000), mental wellbeing (F = 35.087, p = 0.000), and recovery assessed through IMRS (F = 9.360, p = 0.005) and SOFAS (F = 5.464, p = 0.027), were also found statistically significant in a repeated-measures ANOVA. Conclusion: The current study concludes that the recovery-oriented program is effective in enhancing mental wellbeing, fostering hope, and promoting recovery behaviors in patients with severe mental illness (SMI).
