AB  - INTRODUCTION: The construct of recovery was conceptualised in high-income 
      countries and its applicability in low-income and middle- income countries is 
      underexplored. A scoping review is proposed to synthesise knowledge, review 
      conceptual overlap and map key elements of recovery from severe mental illness in 
      low-income and middle-income countries. We aim to appraise the literature so as 
      to inform future recovery-oriented services that consider the cultural and 
      contextual influences on recovery from severe mental illness. METHODS AND 
      ANALYSIS: The following electronic databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, SCOPUS (which 
      included contents of Embase), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Africa-Wide Information, 
      PsycARTICLES, Health source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Academic Search Premier 
      and SocINDEX all via the EBSCOHOST platform, the Latin American and Caribbean 
      Health Sciences Literature, the Cochrane Centre Register of Controlled Trials) 
      and grey literature sources will be searched between May and December 2019. 
      Eligible studies will be independently screened for inclusion and exclusion by 
      two reviewers using a checklist developed for this purpose. Studies published 
      between January 1993 and November 2019 that focus on recovery from severe mental 
      illness in a low-income and middle-income country will be included. Findings will 
      be compared and discrepancies will be discussed. Unresolved discrepancies will be 
      referred to a third reviewer. All bibliographic data and study characteristics 
      will be extracted and thematically analysed using a tool developed through an 
      iterative process by the research team. Indicators will be classified according 
      to a predefined conceptual framework and categorised and described using 
      qualitative content analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The review aims to 
      synthesise information from available publications, hence it does not require 
      ethical approval. The results will be disseminated through publications, 
      conference presentations and future workshops with stakeholders involved within 
      the recovery paradigm of mental health policy and practice. The scoping review 
      title is registered with the Joanna Briggs Institute.
