OBJECTIVES: 1. To evaluate the impact of an intervention based on collaborative nursing care in terms of the changes produced in the recovery process, in positive mental health and in the nurse-patient therapeutic relationship among users of mental health day hospitals. To explore the changes produced in the recovery process of users who receive collaborative nursing care through the co-design and implementation of group activities. DESIGN: A sequential and transformative mixed methods design is proposed. METHODS. The study is structured in three phases. In phase one (baseline) and phase three (follow-up), quantitative data will be collected from patients at a mental health day hospitals based on a two-armed, parallel-design, non-randomized trial. In phase two, two groups will be established: an intervention group (GI) in which the intervention based on collaborative nursing care will be carried out through the co-design and implementation of activities through Participatory Action Research, and a control group (CG) in which the usual care dynamics will be continued. All the users of three mental health day hospitals who agree to participate in the study will be studied consecutively until the necessary sample size is reached. The outcomes used to evaluate the impact of the intervention will be the stage of the recovery process, the quality of the therapeutic relationship and the patient's level of positive mental health. DISCUSSION: Very few collaborative nursing care interventions have been studied and shown to be effective in the context of the paradigm shift toward recovery in mental health nursing. IMPACT: Understanding the changes produced in the recovery process, as well as in the quality of the therapeutic relationship and in the maintenance and/or increase of the levels of positive mental health of people with mental health problems, can contribute to the design and implementation of new methodologies to offer effective and person- centered care.
