520 Major depression is a serious mental health problem that
affects 35.1 million Americans and disproportionately
affects women at a rate of 2:1. Recovery from major
depression includes relief from symptoms as well as
improved psychological well-being and quality of life.
Improved quality of life and decreased morbidity have been
linked to "hope" as a factor in recovery in a variety of
medical conditions. Hope has rarely been studied from the
perspective of women recovering from depression. While the
nursing literature does describe the critical role that
hope plays in the healing process of other health problems
and in the practice of nursing, it does not specifically
address hope in women's recovery from major depression.
This phenomenological study guided by Streubert's (1991)
method, describes the lived experience of hope from the
perspective of 11 women recovering from depression. Four
essences of hope were revealed: belief in a better future,
vital life energy, fostered in caring connections and
diminished in distress, that comprise the formalized
description of the lived experience of hope in women
recovering from major depression. Hope was revealed to be
powerfully energizing as the awareness of hope arose
concurrently with the onset of recovery from depression.
Specific hope fostering characteristics of self, spiritual,
and interpersonal connections were uncovered. These
findings have important implications for research,
practice, and education in relation to recovery from major
depression
