Background of the Study
Spirituality, which encompasses beliefs, values, and practices that provide individuals with meaning and connection, has been increasingly recognized as a vital component of mental health recovery. For many patients, spirituality serves as a source of hope, resilience, and coping during their recovery journey (Eze & Chukwuemeka, 2024).
In Nigeria, cultural and religious beliefs are deeply intertwined with spirituality, influencing perceptions of mental illness and approaches to recovery. At the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Imo State, understanding the role of spirituality in mental health recovery is essential for providing holistic care that aligns with patients’ values and beliefs.
This study evaluates how spirituality contributes to mental health recovery, exploring its integration into psychiatric care and its impact on patient outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
