Introduction:
Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is implemented in Swedish general Mental Health Services. While FACT focuses on supporting the participation and personal recovery of individuals with complex mental health needs, critical components enabling these aspects are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to understand the critical components of FACT delivery supporting participation in everyday life and personal recovery in general Mental Health Services, and to understand how these critical components relate to the focus areas in FACT.
Methods:
A single-case study design with two embedded units of analysis was conducted. Data was collected through two focus groups, ten fidelity assessments and eight interviews between 2020 to 2024. The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis and pattern matching.
Results:
Critical components were related to Placing service users at the centre through an integrated multiprofessional team, Targeting service users' needs through continuity and flexibility and Empowering service users in their everyday life. Most critical components included several focus areas in FACT.
Conclusion:
An integrated multiprofessional team providing individualised and flexible care and support can support service users in participating in everyday life and promoting their personal recovery.
