Clinical Trial Summary

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of the "Reserved Therapeutic Space" intervention for improving the nurse-patient therapeutic relationship in acute mental health units in Spain, as well as its impact in terms of quality of care and patients' perceptions of coercion. Design: Multicenter intervention study with control group. Methods: The study will be carried out in 12 mental health units in Spain. Given the conditions of evaluation in real clinical practice, paired randomization will be performed to assign centers to intervention and control groups. The "Reserved Therapeutic Space" intervention to be tested has been co-designed and validated by both nurses and patients. The quality of the therapeutic relationship, the care received, and perceived coercion among patients will be assessed at baseline and at discharge using instruments validated in our context. An estimated 131 patients per group are expected to participate. Funding was granted in July 2021 by the Institute of Health Carlos III (PI21/00605, Ministry of Science and Innovation) and in October 2021 by the College of Nurses of Barcelona (PR-487/2021). The proposal was approved by all the Research Ethics Committees of participating centers. Discussion: This study is expected to demonstrate the effectiveness of a specific nursing intervention on patient health outcomes including the level of the therapeutic relationship, the quality of care, the level of coercion and other specific indicators for acute mental health units. Impact: This project will lead to changes in clinical practice, transforming the current models of organization and care management in mental health hospitalization units, promoting the quality of the therapeutic relationship and, ultimately, the quality of person-centered care.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Reserved Therapeutic Space
The main objective of the 'Reserved Therapeutic Space' intervention is to enhance the therapeutic bond of trust, to enable the agreement of objectives and interventions in a shared manner in relation to their recovery process in the unit. The intervention is carried out through individual meetings between the nurse and the patient in a comfortable and intimate space, where there are no interruptions and which is also chosen by the person who is hospitalized. The content of the spaces must be constructed individually according to the patients' concerns at each moment of the process.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from baseline Nurse-patient therapeutic alliance at discharge assessed by WAI-Short patient version The Working Alliance Inventory Short Questionnaire (WAI-S), patient version. This is an instrument for measuring the working alliance, and therefore, the therapeutic relationship between professional and patient (Horvath & Greenberg, 1989). Scores range from 12-84 with higher scores indicating greater levels of therapeutic alliance. At baseline and at discharge from the inpatient unit (an average of 16 days)
Secondary Change from baseline Quality in Psychiatric Care at discharge assessed by QPC The Quality in Psychiatric Care scale (QPC: Schröder et al., 2007) assesses the quality of care and is the best suited to evaluate the quality of care in psychiatric units. Scores range from 30-120 with higher scores indicating greater levels of quality in psychiatric care. At baseline and at discharge from the inpatient unit (an average of 16 days)
Secondary Experience of coercion assessed by CES-18 The Coercion Experience Scale (CES-18: Bergk et al., 2010). This scale assesses the subjective experience of coercion during psychiatric hospitalization. Scores range from 18-90 with higher scores indicating greater levels of coercion experience. At discharge from the inpatient unit (an average of 16 days)
