Were data derived from another source?: No METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION ----------------------- 1. Description of the methods used to collect and generate the data: Briefly, and without engaging in self-plagiarism with the publication associated with this database, we could say that in this research we contacted several care services for people with severe mental disorders in Andalusia, Spain, who referred to us volunteers with such diagnoses who were individually surveyed in person under the supervision of psychologists, including the authors of the study, throughout 2017 and 2018. A more detailed description of the data collection and analysis procedure is described in the associated open access publication in the journal Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice. https://doi.org/10.1111/papt.12451 2. Data processing methods: Participants self-completed the battery of instruments, in some cases with the support of the researchers who accompanied them to clarify any doubts, and the direct data provided on paper were digitised in the database, which included a code for each participant. To ensure data protection and anonymity, the person-code relationship was established in another document kept under lock and key. In this database are included both the direct scores of each person (anonymised) to each of the items of the three scales, the calculations of the global scores for each of them and some socio-demographic data. 3. Software or instruments needed to interpret the data: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 4. Information about instruments, calibration and standards: The database includes 234 participants' responses to these three scales: The Spanish version of the Recovery Assessment Scale-24 (RAS-24), validated in a Spanish clinical sample by Saavedra, et al. (2021), which has satisfactory fit and internal consistency indices (α = 0.93; ω = 0.95) for the original five-factor structure, and is considered the most widely used self-report questionnaire to measure mental health recovery. The Spanish version of the World Health Organization QoL scale (WHOQOL-BREF), validated in its Spanish version by Lucas-Carrasco (1998), found satisfactory fit and internal consistency indices, with Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.70 to 0.80 for the original four-factor structure. This scale has 26 items measuring four different dimensions: Physical Health, Psychological Health, Social Relationships and Environmental Health. The Spanish version of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) scale, validated by Feixas et al. (2012), reported good reliability for all dimensions with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.77 to 0.94. It has 34 items measuring psychiatric distress and provides scores on four different dimensions: Well-being, Functioning, Problems/Symptoms, and Risk. In this study only the data from the last two subscales were used and are reported. 5. Environmental or experimental conditions: Not aplicable 6. Quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Throughout the data collection process, we worked directly with the referring institutions to ensure that the process was carried out according to the highest quality standards, following the protocols established in the project and approved by an ethics committee. During data collection, preparation and analysis, the four researchers responsible for this database and publication oversaw all quality assurance, anonymity and data management measures. FILE OVERVIEW ---------------------- 1. Explain the file naming conversion, si es aplicable: The file name summarises the three reported scales (RAS, WHO and CORE). The acronyms of the scales by which they are commonly known have been used: Recovery Assessment Scale-24 (RAS-24, "R" for responses to each item listed), World Health Organization QoL (WHOQOL-BREF "W" for responses to each item listed) and Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM, "C" for responses to each item listed). 2.
