“…A number of impacts in our framework are corroborated by existing research across innovation types. In particular, creating opportunities for building or strengthening relationships [ 9 , 21 , 22 , 38 , 47 , 48 ] experiencing personal growth or wellbeing (empowerment, self-confidence (see Additional File 1 )) [ 9 , 18 – 20 , 22 , 38 , 39 , 48 ], and changing mindset [ 9 , 20 , 22 , 40 , 49 ] were impacts that have been highlighted in previous research for a range of recovery innovations. Some impacts in the categories of ways of being, ways of thinking and ways of interacting are also reflected in the CHIME framework, a validated conceptual framework for personal recovery [ 2 ].…”

“…While clinical recovery and personal recovery are processes that can co-exist [ 8 ], clinical recovery paradigms tend to dominate traditional mental health services which can hinder personal recovery due to an overreliance on clinical, often coercive, interventions and prioritising professional experience over personal lived-experience and self-determined recovery goals [ 3 , 9 ]. In contrast, recovery-oriented services support an individual's recovery journey by valuing professionals and service users equally, being person-centred and prioritising self-determination [ 3 , 10 , 11 ].…”

Background Implementing mental health recovery into services is a policy priority in Canada and globally. To that end, a 5 year study was undertaken with seven organisations providing mental health and housing services to people living with a mental health challenge to implement guidelines for the transformation of services and systems towards a recovery-orientation. Multi-stakeholder implementation teams were established and a facilitated process guided teams to choosing and planning for the implementation of one recovery innovation. The recovery innovations chosen were hiring peer support workers, Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), a family support group, and staff recovery training. Methods This study reports on data collected at the post-implementation stage. 90 service users, service providers, family members, managers, other actors and knowledge users participated in 41 group, individual or dyad semi-structured interviews. The interview guides included open-ended questions eliciting participants’ impressions regarding the impact of implementing the innovation on service users, service providers and organisations. We applied a collaborative qualitative content analysis approach in NVivo12 to coding and interpreting the data generated from these questions. Results Eighteen impacts of implementing recovery innovations from the perspectives of diverse stakeholder groups were identified. Three impacts of working as an implementation team member and as part of a research project were also identified. Impacts were developed into a conceptual framework organised around four overall categories of impact: Ways of being, Ways of interacting, Ways of thinking, and Ways of operating and doing business. Conclusions The IMpacts of Recovery Innovations (IMRI) framework version 1 can assist researchers, evaluators and decision-makers identify, explore and understand impact in the context of recovery innovations. The framework helps fill a gap in conceptualising service and organisation-level impacts. Future research is needed to validate the framework and map it to existing methods for studying impact.

IntroductionStroke poses challenges to the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual well‐being of affected individuals. As the impacts of stroke might not be reversible, a shift in focus to providing care is desirable. Visual art interventions using visual and symbolic art can help participants to express their feelings, give them a sense of choice and the feeling that they are retaining a sense of control, promote insights, restructure their sense of cognition and instil hope. There have been few studies on visual art interventions involving older people with stroke and none in residential care homes (RCHs). Theoretical support and rigorous research designs on the subject are lacking. Thus, this study seeks to address this research gap by examining the feasibility of a visual art intervention for older people in RCHs and exploring the impacts on their holistic well‐being.MethodsThis was a single‐blinded, two‐arm, randomised controlled feasibility study grounded on Watson's Caring Theory. The Holistic Well‐Being Scale and Caring Factor Survey were used in the study, with three assessment time‐points: before the intervention (T1), at the mid‐point of the intervention (T2) and immediately after the intervention (T3).ResultsSixty‐one older people with stroke were recruited from 14 RCHs and randomised into the intervention and control groups. The recruitment rate was 44.53%, and the retention rate for the intervention group was 93.55%. Implementing the programme was affordable (at approximately US$126/head), the duration was acceptable (721 min) and the feedback from participants and staff of the RCHs was positive.ConclusionsThe visual art intervention programme proved to be clinically feasible. This study adds new insights to the development of visual art interventions and to the caring sciences. The efficacy of the programme on holistic well‐being has yet to be confirmed.

“…Practices that foreground the voice and agency of patients are an important development towards creating more humanising care, but their implementation remains hindered by the professional ownership of specialist knowledge (McCaffrey et al , 2021). This remains the privileged position from which we qualify what health care is (Rose and Kalathil, 2019), despite patients may be called “experts by experience” (Horgan et al , 2018).…”

Purpose Service users’ voice is at the forefront of movements within psychiatry that look to create more humanising care. Although genuine co-production of knowledge is limited by the power differential intrinsically functional to the health care setting, the arts have the potential to create collaborative environments and equalise relationships. The purpose of this case study is to describe and discuss the design and pilot evaluation of creative writing workshops in a forensic mental health ward as an innovative method for humanising care. Design/methodology/approach A creative writing intervention focussing on everyday experiences was implemented in a forensic mental health ward and involved four residents and four mental health professionals working together. Interviews were conducted with the four mental health professionals as part of a service evaluation. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings Two themes emerged from the analysis of interviews with mental health professionals: “a new way of learning about each other” and “imagining beyond the staff-resident relationship”. The authors discuss the intervention’s benefits in terms of its potential to foster mutuality and empathy beyond the illness narrative. Practical implications Creative writing can be used to engage patients and mental health professionals to jointly share everyday experiences and identities beyond illness. Originality/value The creative writing workshops present an innovative approach concerning the use of creative arts for humanising care through mutuality.
