“…There is hope that this choice of approach facilitates the development of creative thinking and thus creative practitioners (Gillam, 2013). Practitioners working within traditional service delivery models can be constrained in their ability to be creative.…”

Purpose A Promoting Mental Health and Well-Being Working Model (subsequently “the model”) was developed in response to recognition through teaching undergraduate nursing students that interventions aimed at enhancing mental health and well-being are often hidden or cloaked in traditional professional specific working interventions. The model was developed with the purpose of making the elements of mental health and well-being promotion visible and structuring them into a framework to aid working practice and personal development. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness from the participant perspective of using the model to enhance clients’ mental health and well-being in community settings (Keeling and McQuarrie, 2014). Design/methodology/approach A total of 14 participants were interviewed within two focus groups. Five questions were posed to the participants structured around their experiences of using the model when working with clients in the community. The responses were recorded and transcribed and then categorised using a thematic analysis approach. Findings Three key themes were derived from the analysis in equal measure: “Reconciling a Non-traditional approach”, “Promoting a holistic approach” and “Developing creativity and sense of empowerment to promote mental health and well-being”. The findings suggest that using the model enabled participants to engage with clients in meaningful ways that in turn developed their self-confidence in helping clients develop creative strategies to promote their own mental health and well-being. Originality/value This paper shows that using a structured model to promote well-being and mental health has benefits in enhancing creativity, therapeutic relationships and knowledge base. Further research is needed in terms of the utility of the model from the client’s perspective.

“…However, some silences may in fact reflect patient engagement and interpersonal growth [12,13]. The evidence suggests that silence in art therapy does seem to promote a sense of patient connection with others and acceptance with graduations of evolving socialization [12] In conclusion silence during art therapy activities appears to take on the form with student nurses and mental health patients just sitting and coloring or drawing together with no demands on each other as the therapeutic relationship deepens, builds and solidifies [1,14].…”

The purpose of this paper is to describe specific art therapy activities that student nurses may use as intentional communication tools when interacting with mental health patients in the clinical setting. The suggested art therapy activities in this paper reflect a review of the evidence as well as over 30 years of nursing faculty field experience in the mental health clinical setting. Student nurses can use basic coloring or drawing activities to enhance communication with mental health patients. For purposes of this discussion, art therapy is defined as the usage of crayons, coloring, paper, and drawing.

“…Ayrıca yaratıcı uygulamalar çalışanların da motivasyonunu olumlu etkilemektedir. [33,[39][40][41][42][43][44] Hemşireliğin profesyonel bir meslek olarak kabulü ve diğer meslek gruplarından ayrımı için kuramları denemeleri, eleştirmeleri ve geliştirmeleri beklenmektedir. [45] Nitekim günümüzde ruh sağlığı ve hastalıkları hemşirelerinin ilgi alanlarında kuram geliştirme, kuramları birbirleriyle birleş-tirme bulunmaktadır.…”
