Research summary
The aim of this research is to conduct a pre-protocol consultation with people who have a range of different expertise and experiences of intensive home treatment in adult mental health services. The protocol under developments would seek to develop a therapeutic model of psychosocial interventions for intensive home treatment in mental health. This study will use focus groups to explore their experiences of the service and the focus, scope and design of a proposed mixed method realist evaluation research study. Data will be collected from four focus groups held in two NHS organisations that provide intensive home treatment interventions, two groups will be held with service users and carers and two groups held with staff. Participant experience of taking part in the focus groups will be evaluated using a graffiti wall and brief questionnaire and reported using the GRIPP2 guidelines. Data will be analysed using and inductive qualitative thematic analysis supported by Nvivo. Findings will be reported in peer-reviewed academic journals, meetings and conferences and used to support the development of an NIHR researcher-led proposal.
