Promoting Recovery in Mental Illness: The Perspectives of Patients, Caregivers, and Community Members in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Caregivers and community members are significant stakeholders for promoting recovery for people with mental illness. The current study reveals that patients' involvement in home activities, promoting self-care management, improving patients' support systems, and providing safety and protection are important factors that promote recovery for people with mental illness. Advocating mental health awareness for caregivers and community members will bridge the gap to enhance the recovery for people with mental illness. Further research is needed in this area to explore the health care providers' perspectives on the recovery process of mental illness in the hospital setting.
