MHRM was developed by Young and Bullock for the purpose of meauring mental health recovery in 1999. This study examined the reliability and the validity of the Korean version of the Mental Health Recovery Measure(MHRM-K). MHRM-K was constituted with the 28 items excluded 16th and 30th items from MHRM(2005). The validation of MHRM-K examined through the confirmatory factor analysis and the correlation analysis with the empowerment scale, the basic functioning scale for people with the mental illness and the psychiatric symptom related scale. MHRM-K was correlated with the empowerment scale and basic functioning scale for people with mental illness significant positively, but not correlated with symptom related items likewise the psychiatric diagnostic criteria. The reliability of MHRM-K(28items) was α=.95(N=319). The mean of MHRM-K=82/112(SD=20) was higher than MHRM=80/120(30items, SD=20) from Bullock’s research report in 2005. This study has the limitation that the objective were the people with mental illness who have been already trained in community rehabilitation centers or vocational training centers. In spite of this limitation, the result of validation of MHRM-K will encourage and support application of the recovery paradigm based practice and further research about recovery oriented community mental health service in Korea.
