Problem In Austria, one in four adolescents suffers from a mental health problem, yet there is a lack of adequate care structures. Therefore, the personal recovery of these adolescents is of particular interest. The aim of the study was to explore, from a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing (CAPMHN) perspective, how adolescent users of mental health services in Vienna, Austria experienced personal recovery after a stay in hospital, and to discover what had influenced the personal recovery of adolescent users of mental health services in Vienna. Methods Ten episodic interviews with adolescents were conducted. Nine of them were analyzed following the content analysis of Mayring (2015). Findings The findings of the survey indicate that the personal recovery of the participants was influenced by personal and external factors. Personal factors were the subjective experience of illness and recovery, optimism, resources, and ambivalence. External factors were family, peers, and treatment. The findings suggest that personal recovery of adolescents with a mental health problem is affected by youth‐specific aspects. Conclusions CAPMHNs can support the personal recovery of adolescent users of mental health services, so providing recovery‐oriented care, adequate care structures, and specific nursing skills is crucial.
Zusammenfassung. Adherence-Therapie ist eine auf motivierender Gesprächsführung basierende pflegerische Intervention, die zu einem möglichst selbstbestimmten und verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit der Medikation verhelfen soll. Die Anwendung bei Jugendlichen muss die altersspezifischen Entwicklungsaufgaben sowie weitere Einflussfaktoren wie die emotionale Verbundenheit zu den Erziehungsberechtigten beachten. Der Beitrag stellt dar, welche Einflussfaktoren dies sind und wie sie berücksichtigt werden können.
