RICCI, Éllen Cristina et al. Reliability and validity of the instrument Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA-R) for Brazilian Portuguese (Pt/Br). Aval. psicol. [online]. 2025, vol.24, e23671.  Epub 09-Jun-2025. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2025.24.e23671.

Recovery instruments with measurable dimensions can provide an evaluative framework for the improvement of mental health services in Brazil. The aim of this research was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Recovery Self-Assessment RSA-R (RSA-R) versions of people in recovery and their family members, cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese (Pt/Br). This is a cross-sectional study developed in 2018 with 207 users and 206 participating family members, in 12 mental health services in Campinas-SP/Brazil. The six-factor structure of the RSA-R presented internal consistency and test-retest stability that ranged from moderate to satisfactory for both versions tested. The confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis of the RSA-R version of the person in recovery showed a three-factor scale that differs from the original United State version. Cultural differences regarding the construction and organization of health services are discussed, as well as the implications and limitations of the study.
