“…cooking, budgeting, and managing health), however staff and consumers did not feel group programs were always meeting consumer needs or had enough of a rehabilitation focus. The value of therapeutic groups is well established in the literature [20], not just for the content presented but the indirect effects such as social interaction, altruism, sharing of stories, roles, and membership [20]. To address anxieties for some consumers regarding unstructured time, adding more groups to the CMHRS program would allow for greater choice in how time is spent.…”

Background As part of significant mental health reform, the Community Mental Health Rehabilitation Service (CMHRS) was implemented in rural South Australia. The CMHRS is a 10-bed mental health residential program offering rehabilitative mental health support to rural residents. Aim To analyse the CMHRS service delivery model and its impact on recovery outcomes for consumers. Methods A mixed method, realist evaluation approach was utilised. A purposive sample of CMHRS staff (n = 6) and consumers (n = 8) were recruited. Consumer recovery was measured using the RAS-DS (on admission and discharge). Participants’ perspectives of the service were gained via one staff focus group (n = 6) and individual semi-structured interviews (consumers n = 6; staff n = 2). Pre-post RAS-DS scores were analysed using paired t-tests/Wilcoxon paired-signed rank test, with qualitative data analysed thematically. Results Significant positive increases in RAS-DS total scores were observed at discharge, supported by the qualitative themes of (re)building relationships and social connections and recovering health and wellbeing. Contextual factors (e.g. staffing) and program mechanisms (e.g. scheduling) impacting on service implementation were identified. Conclusion Maintaining a rehabilitation recovery-focused approach, balanced with an appropriately trained multi-disciplinary team, are vital for maximising positive consumer outcomes. Significance This realist evaluation identifies critical factors impacting rural mental health rehabilitation service delivery.

“…It is known that establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships in mental health nursing is a very important therapeutic intervention and a basic nursing competence (Gordon and Kenney, 2018). In the literature, the scales related to the evaluation of the therapeutic relationship focus on the relationship between the therapist and the patient and do not focus on the nurse–patient relationship.…”

Background: It is essential for nurses who care for individuals diagnosed with mental illness to establish a therapeutic relationship. There is no measurement tool available in Türkiye to assess the therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse. Aim: The objective of this study is to perform a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of a scale that enables the evaluation of the quality of the therapeutic relationship established between nurses and patients. Methods: 140 nurses were included in this study. The data were analysed using the exploratory and confirmatory analyses. Results: The scale consists of 25 items and four sub-dimensions. In confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), all factor loads were >0.30. As a result of CFA, all fit indices were >0.85 and the root mean square approximation was <0.080. Cronbach alpha was 0.93 for the whole scale. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the TRAS-Nurse scale and its original version were compatible with each other and gave similar results. This scale can be used to determine the therapeutic relationship of nurses who care for psychiatric patients in Türkiye and can be a useful measurement tool when evaluating the factors that may be effective in improving the therapeutic relationship.
