Summary
This study looked at whether a tool called DIALOG+ can be used in hospital wards for people recovering from serious mental health conditions. DIALOG+ helps patients and staff have more focused, solution-oriented conversations. Eight patients and their care teams tried it out, and researchers checked if it was practical and liked by everyone. The goal was to see if a larger study should be done, not to measure health outcomes.
