- Various models guide the integration of this approach in community services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the characteristics of recovery-oriented practice from the perspective of those involved.
- To identify key themes and elements essential for successful implementation.
Main Methods:
- A qualitative meta-synthesis approach was employed.
- Integrated findings from thirty-four empirical papers from a single research group.
Main Results:
- Four meta-themes emerged: helping and supporting, collaborating and relating, identity integration, and generating hope.
- These themes highlight the importance of relationships, connectedness, context, and mobilized resources.
Conclusions:
- Recovery-oriented practice requires integrating key themes as "working capital" for practitioners.
