Abstract

Despite treatment, many patients with bipolar disorder experience impaired functioning and a decreased quality of life. Optimal collaboration between patient and mental health care providers could enhance treatment outcomes. The goal of this qualitative study, performed in a trial investigating the effect of collaborative care, was to gain more insight in patients' experiences regarding the helpful and obstructive elements of the working alliance between the patient recovering from a depressive episode and their nurse. Three core themes underpinned the nurses' support during recovery: a safe and supportive environment, assistance in clarifying thoughts and feelings, and support in undertaking physical activities.
