The study aims at identifying the level of recovery attitudes for the Chronically Mentally Ill Living in institutions in Korea and the factors that have an impact on their attitudes. The analysis is based upon the recovery-oriented approach from strengths perspective. In the survey, 306 participants in total who are mental disabilities who live in institutions located in Gyeonggido and Chungcheongbukdo responded to questionnaire inquiries. The author used the proxy variable of the recovery attitude in place of the recovery measure. The survey inquiries were those translated from the Recovery Attitude Questionnaire developed by Borkin(2000), which was designed to measure the belief about attitudes towards recovery. And the factors likely to affect the recovery attitudes consisted of general characteristics, insights, self efficacy, social support, and spiritual well-being for individuals with serious mental illness. Such statistical methods as t-test, Oneway-ANOVA, correlation analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used.
According to the analysis, the levels of recovery attitudes were shown to be 3.54 in average on a five-point Likert Scale, which was slightly above the medium value, so that it explained that the respondents had positive attitude towards recovery. In the final regression analysis model, the factors that significantly influenced the recovery attitudes were insights, self efficacy, social support, and spiritual well-being, while general characteristics were not statistically significant. In conclusion, the research outcome on strengths-based perspectives thus implies that the recovery model as mental disorder approach with regard to the mental disabilities who live in institutions, rather than medical model of disability and expert-centered intervention, enables the social work practice.
