Abstract
Background: Patients with psychiatric disorders benefit greatly from social 
support during their recuperation. Aim of study: Aimed to investigate the 
relationship between recovery and perceived social support among patients with 
psychiatric disorders. Subject and setting: A sample of 260 psychiatric patients 
from the outpatient clinic of Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery Center 
and Psychiatric Tanta University Hospital. Study design: This study used a 
descriptive correlational research design. Tools: study tool, Perceived Social 
Support Multidimensional Scale and Recovery Assessment Scale. Results: The 
study found that roughly half of studied patients had high levels of perceived 
social support. Additionally, about half of the patients in the study experienced 
a significant degree of overall recovery; there are statistically significant 
positive connections between recovery and perceived social support. 
Conclusion: Social support has critical role in improving patients' recovery. 
Recommendations: Creating social support educational programs for patients 
with psychiatric disorders should consider as essential part of recovery process.
