Enhancing dual diagnosis capacities in acute inpatient nurses: a practitioner‐based action research project
Abstract
This paper describes the efforts of an academic and practitioners to work together to improve the care of people with a dual diagnosis within one acute mental health care ward. The project was informed by a practitioner action research approach. The group sought to build alliances between academics and practitioners to address problems in practice. The paper focuses on the outcomes for the nurses and trainers, as well as considering its impact on overall care delivery.
