| Summary: | Background: More and more people are suffering from mental illness and the costs of mental illness are constantly increasing. Mental illness is often experienced as suffering and being able to recover is desirable. A recovery-oriented approach means that knowledge is needed about the patient's wishes and needs, as well as what relieves and creates suffering. Aim: The aim of the study was to compile and describe what patients in psychiatric care experience as alleviating for or contributing to suffering and what is experienced as promoting or inhibiting in recovery from mental illness. Method: A systematic literature study based on articles with a qualitative approach was used to collect and compile relevant research on the patient's experience in the recovery process where all encountered qualitative articles are included in the results. Results: The results of the 18 included articles resulted in two main categories and nine sub-categories. Overall, the results show that both a good basis and a consistent motivation are needed to achieve recovery. Conclusion: The conclusion is that recovery is experienced individually and the prerequisites for recovery are insight, security and confirmation. To complete your recovery journey, you need support, hope and to feel valuable.
