Psychosocial interventions promoting personal recovery in people with schizophrenia - A scoping review

Personal recovery is an important aspect for many individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, as people can live rich, fulfilling lives despite ongoing symptoms. Prior reviews have found several factors to be associated with personal recovery, but a comprehensive overview of the psychosocial interventions aimed at improving personal recovery in schizophrenia is needed. Methods and analysis: Key terms relating to personal recovery and psychosocial interventions to promote personal recovery will be searched for in the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane. Additionally, a simple search for gray literature will be conducted in The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). Two reviewers will individually screen and extract the data, and the selection of sources will be documented in a PRISMA flowchart. A content analysis will be conducted on the data, and the findings will be presented in tables, and narratively synthesized. Lastly, research gaps will be identified, and recommendations for future research will be proposed.

Findings will be uploaded, when possible.
