While acknowledging that not all that we do as mental health nurses is quantifiable and much of the art of our practice defies measurement, it is important to consider whether what we do is effective for service users on their journey to recovery. The evaluation of what we do is important for the survival of mental health nursing as a profession and for ensuring that the interventions we provide are useful for service users and their families. We are long past the days of doing things just because that is what has always been done and we are moving on from an emphasis on nurse-focussed research. This article is protected by copyright.

of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,372,222 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,536 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 491,374 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
