The Relationship Between the Self-Recovery Power and the Nursing Care Perception and the Perceived Social Support of Psychiatric Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Objective: This research has been conducted to reveal the relationship between nursing care perceptions, self-recovery power and perceived social support on the self-recovery power of inpatients in psychiatry clinics and the factors affecting this relationship. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and relationship-seeking study was conducted with 172 patients hospitalized in psychiatry clinics. Research data were collected using the "Patient Information Collection Form", "Patient's Perception of Nursing Care Scale", "Self-Recovery Power Scale" and "Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support". Results: It was found that there is a highly significant relationship between psychiatric patients’ ability to recover and the perceived social support and the nursing care perception (p <0.01). According to MANOVA results, gender and the number of hospitalizations were found to affect the perceived social support and the perception of nursing care, respectively (p <0.05). According to the regression coefficients, it was determined that the perception of nursing care and the perceived social support have a highly significant effect on the self-recovery power (p <0.001). According to the fit indices values of SEM results, GFI, TLI, and IFI indices are exactly 1; and AGFI, GFI, and NFI indices are greater than 0.90. RMSEA is near-zero and SRMR is considerably low. Conclusions: As a result of the study, it was determined that the high level of nursing care perceptions and the perceived social support of patients receiving treatment in psychiatry clinics contribute positively to the ability of patients to recover.
