Unit Description
Research Methods and Evaluation for Recovery-oriented Mental Health Practice will develop students’ capacity to be critical consumers of research, especially the evidence base for contemporary recovery-focused, person-centred treatment modalities, including those related to assessment and planning, intervention and evaluation. Students will learn how to locate, evaluate and critique methodological approaches used in recovery research. This unit will explore the similarities and differences to methods commonly adopted in traditional healthcare research, as well as the translation of recovery research into practice.
Unit Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the unit, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the relationship between evidence-based practice and recovery
2. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the similarities and differences between traditional research approaches and recovery-oriented research
3. Demonstrate a critical understanding of ethical conduct of research and the challenge that may arise in recovery-oriented research
4. Identify how recovery research may be applied in day-to-day practice
