The bipolar recovery questionnaire (BRQ) was developed a decade ago to provide a quantitative tool to assess people’s experiences of personal recovery. The measure was codeveloped with experts by experience and explicitly designed to tap into people’s subjective perception of their personal recovery. Previous research has shown that BRQ explains unique variance beyond that captured by measures of symptoms or functioning alone. Although BRQ has been adopted internationally in a range of outcome studies in bipolar, it is still unclear what the core aspects of recovery are within this measure and how these might interrelate. This talk will report on a network analysis of data from 394 people with bipolar collected across four outcome studies. It will highlight the network structure of personal recovery based on BRQ including key items, communities and primary nodes within the data. The results of this work will discussed with respect to understanding of personal recovery in bipolar and implications for theory and practice.
