<![CDATA[Recovery-Oriented Practice (ROP) is an individualized approach aimed at enhancing the personal recovery journey of individuals with mental health conditions. Recovery-Oriented Training (ROT) equips the capacity of MHPs for effective implementation of ROP among MHPs at Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). This study investigated the effect of the ROT Program on the attitudinal disposition of MHPs at CMHCs in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a Quasi-experimental design, and multistage sampling was used to select 139 CMHCs who participated in the study. Pre- and post-data collection were conducted across the study center, yielding an 85.71% response rate. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 0.05 level of significance. The mean age of MHPs was 48.85 ± 9.93 years, with 87% of the participants being female. Among them, 57% had a diploma, 33% had a bachelor's degree, and 23% were mental health nurses. Notably, 100% had no prior training in ROP. Findings revealed that ROT improved the attitude of MHPs towards utilization of ROP at CMHCs. Changes in attitude towards ROP utilization were observed between P0 and P1, respectively, for the effects of stigma on recovery (2.17 ± 0.93 vs. 3.23 ± 0.53), the possibility of recovery (1.69 ± 0.68 vs. 3.11 ± 0.36), and unintended setbacks (2.18 ± 0.55 vs. 3.18 ± 1.00). We concluded that ROT improved the attitudinal response of MHP at CMHCs in Ogun State, Nigeria, towards the utilization of ROP. It is recommended that the government ensure continuous training of MHP across the nation and provide avenues and resources to enhance ROP implementation.]]>
