The psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in the general practice: a realist evaluation multiple case study
Participants in this study believe a transition in general practices is necessary to provide sustainable, lowtreshold mental healthcare in primary care setting. They see the PMHNP as the professional to fill this gap. To optimally deploy the PMHNP and ensure accessible, high-quality mental healthcare, the mechanisms of (1) motivation and investment, (2) familiarity and trust, and (3) equivalence and autonomy should be activated.
