Abstract

The process of recovering from mental disorders extends beyond medical treatment to address the individual needs of patients. Achieving recovery from mental disorders requires a comprehensive approach and effective collaboration among healthcare services, caregivers, and the community. Health workers play a crucial role in the treatment and recovery journey of patients; however, their services may encounter challenges. Hence, this study aims to explore the role of health workers and the challenges they face in aiding the recovery of patients with mental disorders. A literature review methodology was employed, utilizing two electronic databases, PubMed and Scholar, with keywords including “Mental Health,” “Mental Disorder,” “Mental Illness,” “Recovery,” and “Mental Health Professional,” “Nursing,” or “Mental Health Practitioner.“ Twelve articles were selected for inclusion in the review. The literature revealed several themes concerning the role of health workers in the recovery process of mental disorders. These themes include: suboptimal knowledge among health workers, highlighting the need for education and training; the presence of stigma among health workers towards mental disorders, necessitating interventions to address these biases; and the types of services provided to patients.
