A qualitative evaluation of the questionnaire about the process of recovery (QPR) in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations

What is it about?

This study looked at whether a mental health questionnaire called the QPR is useful for people from different cultures who are seeking help for mental health issues in Australia. We found that most patients didn't know what "personal recovery" meant, but they generally understood the QPR questions and found them acceptable. Using the QPR could help doctors identify patients' needs and goals, but there are some challenges in using it, like the time it takes to complete and some differences in cultural norms. Patients suggested some changes to the questions, too. Overall, the QPR could be helpful, but more research is needed to make sure it works well for people from different cultures.
