Experiences of mental health care providers regarding integration of mental health care into primary health care at the Ilembe health district in KwaZulu- Natal

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Institutionalisation of mental health care users was a prevalent treatment approach in the apartheid era in South Africa. The introduction of community based mental health care is aimed at improving mental health care services, and this integration into primary health care improves access to mental health services, enables mental health care users to maintain family relationships, to be employment while receiving treatment and to access psychosocial rehabilitation. The professional nurses are rendering mental health care services at the primary health care level implementing the integration.
