Abstract: Background: Recovery-focused person/patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), are important for recovery-oriented services, but workers have been slow to embed them within practice. Little is known about factors that influence workers use of these measures. Aim: To synthesise peer reviewed literature regarding the enablers and barriers mental health workers report to using recovery-focused PROMs in practice. Methods: Five databases were searched. Data were extracted from publications meeting the inclusion criteria, tabulated, and presented graphically. A qualitative thematic analysis was also conducted. Results: Only six of 30 recovery-focused PROMs had any published work reporting staff experiences of using them. Aspects influencing PROM use included: organisational and structural factors; value alignment; tool psychometrics; perceived relevance to practice and people accessing service; whether staff deemed tools to be useful and meaningful, and ease of use and access. Conclusions: More work is needed to address worker needs if recovery-focused tools are to be used routinely to collaboratively support people to explore their own recovery-related strengths and priorities. Both tool specific aspects, and organisational structures, that can support or hinder workers to use these tools in routine and recovery-oriented ways. PRISMA/PROSPERO: The PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was followed. Prospero does not accept protocols for scoping reviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
