This framework pays close attention to the purpose of acute mental health care, the impact of the environment in which acute care is provided (whether this is in hospital or community), and the impact of acute care on peoples’ rights, recovery and relationships. The framework sets out a range of capabilities for all nurses working in acute care and then a further set of capabilities as nurse’s progress their careers. The framework is divided into four key areas: rights, values and recovery focused practice, supporting recovery from acute crisis, making a difference in acute care, and sharing positive risk taking. The framework can be used by nurses and service managers to guide personal development planning, by service users and their families/carers to explain the key skills, knowledge and attitudes that they should expect from nurses in acute care settings, or by education and training organisations to guide the development of training and educational activities and programmes specific to acute care.

The third National Scottish Survey of Public Attitudes to Mental Health, Mental Wellbeing and Mental Health Problems was commissioned in 2006. As in 2002 and 2004, the overall aims of the survey were to examine the views and experiences of a representative sample of the adult Scottish population (reflecting age, gender, income, location, race and ethnic diversity) in relation to a spectrum of mental health-related issues; and to compare findings with other relevant survey data. The survey was conducted among a random sample of 1,216 Scottish adults between 16 October 2006 and 21 January 2007. All interviews were conducted face-to-face in respondents’ homes. The survey aimed to Investigate people’s perceptions of their own general health, explore their understanding of the concepts of mental health and wellbeing, and their assessment of factors affecting their own mental health, investigate people’s direct experience of mental health problems and their sources of information, explore people’s awareness and understanding of promotional activity associated with mental health improvement work through the National Programme’s main initiatives, explore people’s attitudes to mental health problems and to those who experience specific symptoms of mental ill health, compare findings with the 2002 and 2004 surveys and, as far as data are comparable, with findings from similar surveys carried out in Scotland, in other parts of the UK and internationally.
