There were two objectives of this study. The first was to identify the attitudes of home-visit nurses towards clients with schizophrenia that lead to the provisions of effective care and positive client outcomes for clients with schizophrenia. The second was to develop a framework to understand how nurses acquire nursing attitudes that lead to such provisions. Seven expert home-visit nurses who had successfully prevented rehospitalization of clients with schizophrenia for more than 2 years were interviewed. In the semistructured interviews, the nurses described their experiences in assisting one or two clients. Data were analyzed qualitatively. The central theme was having equal footing with the client. An effective nursing attitude was acquired through recognizing one's own preconceptions of clients with schizophrenia through two steps: encountering unexpected client behaviours and becoming aware of one's problematic care. For these clients, it was essential that the nurses reflect on their preconceptions towards clients with schizophrenia and alter these preconceptions by working with the clients and believing in their innate ability to live in the community. The findings suggest that the field of mental health home-visit nursing might benefit from adding these educational components in order to cultivate effective nursing attitudes for assisting clients with schizophrenia.
