Therapeutic engagement has long been recognised as a fundamental aspect of recovery-focused mental health nursing. Historically however, it was not possible to measure objectively service user-registered mental health nurse interactions impacting on service user recovery in adult acute inpatient care settings. Therefore, the tool was developed for routine use within acute inpatient settings to measure components of therapeutic engagement from the perspective of service users and registered mental health nurses.
