Introduction

During the last decades, the recovery from severe mental illness has shifted from a focus on reducing symptoms to a more holistic approach of emphasizing consumer-centered goals and subjective wellness (Anthony, 1993). The implementation of this controversial new model it has not had an easy path. In that sense, Ridgway (2004, 2011) developed the Recovery Enhancing Environments (REE), an instrument to gather information on personal mental health recovery and the elements that people feel are important to their recovery; staff activities and an organizational climate that encourages resilience.

Objective

To present the preliminary results of the Spanish adaptation.

Method

English to Spanish translation of REE was carried out. The REE interview and Euro-Qol5d, HoNOS, EEAG and CGI scales were completed by 312 patients in Mental Health Services organization of Bizkaia (Spain), 189 men and 123 women (age = 48.89). The interviewers of the REE were service users trained and hired for this task.

Results

The alpha de Cronbach was .98, and for its dimensions: program performance indicators (.97), organizational climate (.92) and recovery markers (.93). The concurrent validity with others scales have resulted in correlations coefficients superiors to r = .35 (P < .001).

Discussion

As the different indicators are adequate and the instrument has a similar structure to other theoretical studies, it can be conclude that Spanish REE is an appropriate measure to fill the gap between the knowledge in the recovery model and what services can do to supports this model. All of this information gathered from people who receive mental health services.
