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.
