“…Some participants expressed having incorporated new strategies and applying them both at work and in other everyday situations, feeling increasing power and not being dependent on external support. Studies have shown that relapses are less common after coping-developing interventions than after pharmacotherapy, indicating an empowering impact (34,35). However, as other participants felt the need for new support immediately after the intervention, it is not possible to expect everyone to be able to adopt new strategies in order to match the new, more complex demands in modern working life (36).…”

According to the participants, experiences from both PBM and CBT had a positive impact on their ability to work and perform other everyday activities in a more sustainable way. Reflecting on behaviour and achieving limiting strategies were perceived as helpful in both interventions, although varying abilities to incorporate strategies were described. In general, the results support the use of active coping-developing interventions rather than passive treatments.

Introduction The restructuring of national mental health policy to an integrated recovery ethos demands a clarification in the psychiatric/mental health nurse's role, skills and competencies. Aim/Question To explore the psychiatric/mental health nurse's role and identify skills, competencies and supports required to adopt recovery-orientated policy in practice. Method An exploratory mixed methods study in multiple health services in Ireland with N = 1249 psychiatric/mental health nurses. Data collection used a survey, focus groups and written submissions. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results The medical profession use a symptom-focused approach to mental healthcare delivery. Nurses viewed this as a primary inhibitor to recovery-orientated practice. Professional development in prevention and earlier intervention within primary care environments requires development. Nurses require research support to measure the effectiveness of the mental health interventions they provide. Implications and conclusion The effective implementation of the recovery approach requires a multitude of strategies and narrative threads in an overall medical assessment. Nurses need support from medics in providing consistency of assessments/documentation of required psychosocial interventions. A greater range of specialist services provided by nurses including psychosocial interventions and health promotion is fundamental to quality care and improving service user outcomes in primary care.

“…These authors (3)(4)15,(20)(21)(22) emphasize that the rehabilitation and recovery process of patients must take into account a psychosocial assessment, which consists on identifying sources of stress, social problems, and the need for specialized interventions. Other essential actions to meet mental health demands are drug management, referral to specialized services when necessary, group activities, lifestyle counseling, and working with families (3)(4)15,(20)(21)(22) . It is of utmost importance that teams help users maintain their independence and implement strategies to combat stigma and social isolation (9)(10)22) .…”
