Purpose:
This study explores the recovery process and its key components in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, with a particular focus on the role of gratitude. The research aimed to determine whether gratitude can be confirmed as a positive factor in the recovery journey of women and men with schizophrenia.

Methods:
The study involved 25 women and 25 men receiving care in day wards and a support center in Warsaw that provide specialized assistance and therapeutic interventions for schizophrenia patients.

Results:
The findings indicate that gratitude is a positive component of the recovery process in women, but not in men. Additionally, notable differences were observed in the recovery trajectories of women and men.

Conclusions:
The study offers practical implications, suggesting that understanding gratitude’s role in recovery could inform the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. These interventions could potentially monitor and modify patients’ levels of gratitude, thereby influencing their overall recovery progress.
