Measuring the organisational recovery climate in a forensic high-secure service

摘要

The authors seek to build on an ongoing annual service evaluation, to measure commitment to providing recovery-based care. This study used two subscales of the Developing Recovery Enhancing Environments Measure (DREEM). These two measures, recovery markers (patients) and the organisational climate-recovery (staff), generate both qualitative and quantitative data which enable a range of rich data to emerge. Findings for the recovery markers revealed a statistically significant increase in patients' level of perceived recovery between time 1 (2014) and time 2 (2015). There were not statistically significant differences in patients' level of perceived recovery between time point 2 and time point 3 (2016), or between time 1 and time 3. The findings from the organisational climate-recovery, identified a statistically significant increase in staff level of agreement that the organisational climate supports the process of recovery between time 1 (2014) and time 2 (2015). However, between time 2 and time 3 (2016) there was a statistically significant decrease in the level of agreement. When comparing time 1 and time 3 there is a statistically significant increase in the level of agreement from staff that the organisational climate supports the process of recovery.
