System-level barriers to personal recovery in mental health: qualitative analysis of co-productive narrative dialogues between users and professionals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No co-productive narrative synthesis of system-level facilitators and barriers to personal recovery in mental illness has been undertaken.

Aims

To clarify system-level facilitators and barriers to personal recovery of people with mental illness.

Method

Qualitative study guided by thematic analysis. Data were collected through one focus group, which involved seven service users and three professionals. This group had 11 meetings, each lasting 2 h at a local research institute, between July 2016 to January 2018.

Results

The analysis yielded three themes: barriers inhibiting positive interaction within personal relationship networks, roots of barriers from mental health systems and the social cultural context, and possible solutions to address the roots
