title: Participant satisfaction with Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP).
abstract: Outpatient programs are often promoted as vehicles for mental health recovery. Yet, few programs include patients' perspectives about their satisfaction with these programs. This descriptive, cross-sectional survey investigated patients' satisfaction with Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). Participants completed the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program instrument (n = 26) and qualitative interviews (n = 18). Data were analyzed using multivariate statistics (α = .05) and content analysis. Three composite variables explained 48% of the variance (p = .00) in patient satisfaction. Four themes emerged: Retrospective Desire for Early WRAP Introduction, Pay It Forward, Unconditional Relational Support, and It Takes Time. Future research is warranted to promote WRAP's use in broader settings.
