Carers' Understanding of Recovery-Oriented Practice in Mental Health Settings: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Recovery-oriented practice is a contemporary and internationally accepted approach to mental health care. Moving away from privileging 'clinical recovery', it recognises and supports 'personal recovery', defined as living a meaningful life. Family and carers' (carers) understanding, and support of recovery-oriented practice is crucial to the provision of comprehensive and continuous mental health care. Few studies exist on carers' knowledge and experiences of recovery-oriented practice. We conducted a systematic review to explore carers' understanding of recovery-oriented practice in mental health settings. A narrative synthesis was undertaken using both deductive and inductive approaches, guided by the established framework for recovery-oriented practice by Le Boutillier and colleagues. F
