abstract="People diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) face multiple vulnerabilities, including when seeking employment. Among SPMI patients, studies  show that a stronger sense of spirituality can help to reduce psychotic symptoms,  increase social integration, reduce the risk of suicide attempts and promote  adherence to psychiatric treatment. This study examined how the variables  spirituality and employment affect the recovery process and psychological well-being  of people with SPMI who attend employment recovery services. The sample consisted of  64 women and men diagnosed with an SPMI. The assessment instruments included the  Recovery Assessment Scale, Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, Work Motivation  Questionnaire, Daily Spiritual Experience Scale, and Functional Assessment of  Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp12). Hierarchical regression  analyses were performed to compare three different models for each dependent  variable (recovery and psychological well-being). The findings showed that job  skills predicted psychological well-being and recovery. When spiritual variables  were included in the model, job skills dropped out and the dimension meaning/peace  of the FACIT-Sp12 emerged as the only significant predictor variable. Integrating  spirituality into recovery programs for people with SPMI may be a helpful complement  to facilitate the recovery process and improve psychological well-being.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
