Each stage is characterised by a combination of varied accomplishment in the four dimensions of recovery.

Moreover, a five-stage recovery model was proposed. advanced a consumer-oriented stage model of psychological recovery, which set forth a framework consisting four recovery dimensions: finding and maintaining hope re-establishing a positive identity finding meaning of life and taking responsibility for wellbeing. It is imperative to facilitate individuals not just to restore premorbid functioning but to live a purposeful life in conjunction with achieving personal values. Consumers defined psychological recovery as “the establishment of a fulfilling life and a positive self-identity founded on sense of hope and self-determination”. Service providers aimed at boosting psychological recovery in the healing progress, rather than emphasising symptom management. Since the recovery movement in 1980s, there was a shift from long-established medical approach to a recovery model among mental health systems. People with severe mental illness (SMI) experience functional and psychosocial impairments which noticeably limit major life activities. Further studies exploring the underlying structure are warranted. The three-factor structure revealed does not echo the original five-stage recovery model. ConclusionsĬhinese STORI-30 presents satisfactory psychometric properties in internal consistency, construct convergent and divergent validity, and test-retest reliability. Good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.78–0.86) and high level of test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96) were obtained. Construct validity was supported by positive correlations with recovery and mental well-being scales, and negative correlation with self-stigma scale. An ordinal sequence was presented among the five subscales, similar to the original version. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure. Resultsįace and content validity were confirmed with acceptable Content Validity Index and high inter-rater agreement. The Chinese version STORI-30 plus other convergent and divergent scales were then administered to 113 participants for field test. An expert panel and potential users evaluated face validity and content validity. STORI-30 was translated to traditional Chinese through forward-backward method. To develop and validate the Chinese version STORI-30 on adults with severe mental illness. Stage of Recovery Instrument-30 (STORI-30) is grounded in a five-stage model of psychological recovery, and serves as measuring recovery stage of people with mental illness.
