  <brief_summary>
    <textblock>
      Despite expert opinion unconvinced of any value for hospitalization in caring for people with&#xD;
      borderline personality disorder (BPD), this patient group still accounts for a significant&#xD;
      proportion of adult acute mental health (AMH) admissions. Staff nurses generally voice&#xD;
      negative perceptions of BPD, a view which is linked to an uncertainty of how to approach&#xD;
      these patients, and difficulties leading to personal distress and burnout.&#xD;
      Mentalization-based treatment (MBT) is an evidence based approach, focusing on the mental&#xD;
      states of both self and others, developed specifically to treat BPD and facilitated&#xD;
      successfully in specialised settings. MBT Skills training is a compact and cost effective two&#xD;
      day workshop which equips generalist mental health nurses with a skillset enabling them to&#xD;
      work effectively with BPD. MBT Skills training was first offered to staff nurses in Royal&#xD;
      Cornhill Hospital, Aberdeen in 2013. This study aims to assess staff perceptions on the value&#xD;
      of MBT skills training, evaluating how it impacts on clinical practice when working with BPD&#xD;
      in AMH.&#xD;

      Methodology: Using two focus groups with a neutral facilitator, a purposive sample of nine&#xD;
      staff nurses took part in a semi-structured exploration of BPD in AMH. Participants discussed&#xD;
      challenges with patients and the impact of MBT skills training and Clinical Supervision (CS).&#xD;
      The focus groups were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data was examined using a&#xD;
