Abstract
Purpose/objective: The recovery experiences of individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) involve a complex interaction between intrapersonal and interpersonal factors through which they continue to pursue life goals and enhance their psychosocial adaptation. Among these outcomes, disability acceptance is an important aspect but remains underexplored in this context. This study aimed to identify recovery patterns among individuals with SMI using a latent profile approach and explore how these patterns relate to disability acceptance.
Research method/design: We analyzed responses from participants with SMI (N = 268) and employed latent profile analysis to uncover distinct recovery profiles based on key indicators: resilience, self-efficacy, coping, social support, and perceived social stigma. Each profile was then examined in relation to levels of disability acceptance. The participant sample had a relatively higher employment rate and was more educated compared to "typical" populations with SMI.
Results: Latent profile analysis revealed three subgroups: recovery-initiating, recovery-developing, and recovery-sustained. Over half of the participants were classified in the recovery-developing group, while approximately one-third were included in the recovery-sustained group. High levels of resilience, self-efficacy, coping, and social support-along with low levels of perceived social stigma-increased the likelihood of being classified in the recovery-sustained group. This group also demonstrated the highest levels of disability acceptance.
Conclusions/implications: The identification of distinct recovery patterns suggests the importance of enhancing resilience, self-efficacy, coping strategies, and social support, as well as managing perceived social stigma when working with individuals with SMI. Considerations for tailored interventions to promote recovery and disability acceptance among individuals with SMI are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
