Detailed Description
The primary hypothesis is that the implementation of REFOCUS will facilitate the 1-year recovery of patients managed by trained professionals. The secondary hypotheses are that the implementation of REFOCUS will facilitate improved orientation of practices towards recovery; reduced costs associated with the use of mental health services; improved perceived stigma, self-stigma, stigma-related stress, well-being, perceived coercion, and general functioning among those involved.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery QPR Intra- and inter-group comparison in users with severe psychiatric disorders [Two years]
Intra- and inter-group comparison of the score on the self-assessment scale of the stage of recovery (Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery; QPR) in users with severe psychiatric disorders The QPR has 15 items each scored on a 4-point scale (0= disagree strongly, 1=disagree, 2=neither agree nor disagree, 3=agree, 4=agree strongly). Higher scores are indicative of recovery. However, those involved in developing this measure suggest that scores should not only be added to give total scores, but the QPR should be used as described above e.g. as a tool for considering personal goals for recovery, health and wellbeing.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA) health professional version to assess the perception of having a recovery-oriented practice [One year]
Intra- and inter-group comparison of scores on the following scales: The Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA) is a 36-item measure designed to gauge the degree to which programs implement recovery-oriented practices. It is a self-reflective tool designed to identify strengths and target areas of improvement as agencies and systems strive to offer recovery-oriented care.
- Self-stigma scale (Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness) [One year]
Intra- and inter-group comparison of scores on the following scale
- Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well Being Scale (WEMWBS) for mental well-being [One year]
Intra- and inter-group comparison of scores on the following scale Scoring. The 14-item scale WEMWBS is very simple to score. The total score is obtained by summing the score for each of the 14 items. The scoring range for each item is from 1 - 5 and the total score is from 14-70.
- Qualitative component [Two years]
A qualitative analysis will be conducted with trainers, trained mental health professionals and patients followed by trained professionals, using semi-structured individual interviews or focus groups. For this study, participants will be asked about their experience following the implementation of REFOCUS training in recovery-oriented practices. The focus groups will be facilitated by at least two members of the research team, recorded with the participants' consent and fully transcribed. They will be conducted until data saturation is achieved. The data will be analysed using the thematic content analysis method. The COREQ grid will be used to write the protocol and analyse the results. Multiple triangulation of the data will help to refine the understanding of the problem and limit the risk of interpretation bias
