Abstract
PURPOSE
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the personal recovery of inpatients of a forensic psychiatric hospital.
METHODS
A descriptive study design was assigned. The participants were 136 inpatients in a forensic psychiatric hospital in South Korea. The data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics Version 26.0 with descriptive statistics, independent t test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
RESULTS
Perceived physical health status (β = 0.16, p = 0.034), perceived mental health status (β = 0.20, p = 0.023), perceived family support (β = 0.17, p = 0.013), duration of hospitalization (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), and recovery attitudes (β = 0.36, p < 0.001) were the significant factors explaining 42.6% of the variance in the personal recovery of participants.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this study indicate that recovery attitudes, health status, and personal support affect forensic mental health personal recovery. Personal recovery can be strengthened through nursing intervention and support to strengthen recovery attitudes and health status. It is necessary to get used to personal recovery through long-term and systematic education, and organizations and nurses need to make efforts to provide services centered on personal recovery.
