Protocol - Perception of Recovery Orientation and Care Quality of Mental Health Services - Patient Version
Description
The Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA) is a 32-item, self-administered rating scale that focuses on perceptions of recovery principles and overall quality of services, including determination, staff helpfulness, and staff responsiveness. The RSA includes six subscales: life goals, consumer involvement, diversity of treatment options, consumer choice, individually-tailored services, and inviting environment. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale (1 = Strongly Disagree; 5 = Strongly agree). Ratings from the individual items can be added together to yield a total score, with the higher scores indicating greater quality care.
Specific Instructions
Note that there are client, clinician, family/ally, and executive leadership versions of the Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA). Any one of these can be used alone or in conjunction with one another.
