Identifier	Thesis 2045
Author	Stonger, Judith Ann
Title	Analysis of recovery knowledge and attitudes among graduate school faculty
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The recovery movement in the United States redirects our focus away from the pathology of addiction and mental health disorders toward recovery, wellness, and resilience (White, 2000). The work of the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, launched in 2003, resulted in the conclusion that the current mental health system in the United States was not oriented toward the hope of recovery, and therefore recommended a fundamental transformation in the way that mental health care is delivered in this country. The Connecticut recovery movement began in 2000, and has as its goal the transformation of the existing service delivery system into one in which recovery is its overarching guiding principle (Davidson et al., 2007). As the Connecticut recovery initiative continues, the workforce needs and demographics of the state are changing. The state Department of Labor has identified a growing need for well-educated, diverse mental health and substance abuse professionals, including social workers and rehabilitation counselors (Connecticut Department of Labor, 2003). Little research currently exists on recovery knowledge and attitudes among providers of treatment and rehabilitation services, and no known study has investigated recovery knowledge and attitudes among university faculty members who educate them. The present study investigated recovery knowledge and attitudes among faculty members at the top 25 social work and rehabilitation counseling programs according to the 2008 U.S. News and World Report through use of the Recovery Knowledge Inventory (RKI; Bedregal et al., 2006). Four hypotheses were proposed: (1) faculty members who had completed their final or terminal degree more recently would have higher recovery knowledge/attitudes scores, (2) participants who were most closely associated with the field of addiction would have significantly higher recovery knowledge and attitudes scores, (3) individuals reporting that they were in recovery would have higher RKI scores, and (4) the pattern of mean RKI subscale scores would match those found in earlier research by Bedregal and colleagues. The results of this study failed to support the first three hypotheses, but the final hypothesis was supported. This research adds to the current body of knowledge on the subject, and may be used to guide the university level training and workforce development efforts in Connecticut and nationally. Finally, the results of this study will guide the developers of the RKI at Yale University in making future modifications to the RKI instrument.
