Abstract

Background: In 2009, the first recovery college (RC) was established in England, and has since been established and implemented in various countries worldwide. Although literature exists on the effects and benefits of RCs, there has yet to be a systematic examination of their implementation experiences.

Aim: This scoping review provides an overview of the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of RCs.

Method: A comprehensive search was conducted across CINAHL, ProQuest Dissertations, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science, targeting English-language publications from January 2000 to August 2025.

Results: The scoping review identified and examined 43 studies. Facilitators included: (1) regular operation considerations; (2) considerations for effective co-creation; (3) continued development; (4) importance of visibility. Barriers included: (1) management challenges; (2) logistical challenges; (3) course implementation difficulties; (4) misalignment of RC principles.

Conclusion: We highlight issues in RCs' everyday operations and emphasize the need for them to adopt a flexible, adaptable stance. However, several areas of research require greater attention, including RC hiring practices, policies for continued development, and research on RCs from Asian and non-Western perspectives.

大学康复实施的促进因素和障碍的系统范围审查。

背景：2009年，英国建立了第一所康复学院（RC），此后在世界各国建立并实施。虽然文献中有关于rc的效果和益处，但还没有对其实施经验进行系统的检查。目的：本范围审查概述了实施RCs的促进因素和障碍。方法：综合检索CINAHL、ProQuest Dissertations、PubMed、PsycINFO、Scopus和Web of Science，检索2000年1月至2025年8月期间发表的英文论文。结果：范围综述确定并检查了43项研究。促成因素包括：(1)常规操作考虑；(2)有效共同创造的考虑因素；（三）持续发展；(4)可见度的重要性。障碍包括：(1)管理挑战；(2)后勤方面的挑战；(3)课程实施难点；(4) RC原则错位。结论：我们强调了RCs日常操作中的问题，并强调他们需要采取灵活、适应性强的立场。然而，有几个领域的研究需要更多的关注，包括RC雇用实践，持续发展的政策，以及从亚洲和非西方角度对RC的研究。
