Introduction

There is an increasingly recognition of the concept of recovery in the treatment of mental illness. Recovery defined as living a fulfilling, rewarding life, even in the ongoing presence of a mental illness. Consequently, a number of instruments have been designed to assess recovery-oriented outcomes.

Objective

The objective of the study was to conduct a systematic revision of the instruments used to assess recovery with appropriate psychometric properties.

Method

A systematic review of the literature has been realized. The adequacy of the instruments utilization, the content validity and psychometrics properties were gathered and analyzed.

Results/discussion

After a systematic review, it has been obtained 25 different instruments for measuring personal recovery and 17 for assessing the orientation of recovery in mental health services. As a consequence of the lack of consensus that exists in the conceptualization of recovery; several instruments have been developed and used to assess the different recovery domains. But it is essential to select scales that match with the recovery model and assess adequately the individual's recovery, and also, the recovery orientation of services. Moreover, those instruments should have appropriate psychometric properties and should be suitable to be introduced in routinely clinical settings.
