The objective of this study was to elucidate the effective factors contributing to recovery, as perceived by users of mental health services. Additionally, the study aimed to examine recovery-oriented practices that align with users’ perspectives. A total of 369 users were administered questionnaires, and 162 users who provided responses without any missing data were included in the analysis. Five themes were extracted through the application of text mining techniques: “Supportive people,” “Cooperation with others,” “Hobbies,” “Thinking and acting for oneself,” and “Money for living.”
“Supportive people” serves as the foundation of relationships. The themes of “Cooperation with others” and “Money for living” gained through social participation led to the reconstruction of identity, while “Hobbies” and “Thinking and acting for oneself” enabled people to reconnect with their own identity and promoted a profound sense of self. As recovery-oriented practices, the study underscores the significance of cultivating partnerships and offering support in making life choices.
