Background:
Service providers' attitudes towards recovery can improve with formal training. However, it is unclear whether improvements depend on dispositional hope.
Aims:
To determine whether attitudinal improvements following formal recovery training vary depending on participants' dispositional hope.
Method:
One hundred and three providers attended formal recovery training and completed measures of recovery knowledge, attitudes, hopefulness and optimism.
Results:
Training improved providers' recovery knowledge, attitudes, hopefulness and optimism. Providers with both high and low dispositional hope achieved similar gains.
Conclusions:
Attitudinal improvements following formal recovery training were not dependent on baseline levels of dispositional hope. Institutions committed to recovery-oriented care should consider utilizing formal training.
