title: The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities: reflections on education in values based practice: a qualitative study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This paper presents the findings of a study exploring the impact of a values-based training initiative on the practice of mental health workers. This work is set within the context of increasing attention on the values of nurses and other health care workers as a response to national reports on care failure and negative media attention.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To examine written response feedback from participants on a national training programme for values-based practice (VBP) in order to examine any intention to change practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  A national evaluation using quantitative and qualitative methodologies was conducted to gather data on reflections and self-report impact of the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities' training programme.
  
  
  METHODS
  The training was delivered in a range of hospital, community and third sector training programmes across eight regions in England.
  
  
  METHODS
  The participants were predominantly nurses but all sectors in the mental health community including service users as co-facilitators and participants were represented.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study presents the qualitative findings from a cross-sectional survey. Using NVIVO 10 software, data were analysed using the framework method of qualitative analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four principal themes emerged from the data'Thinking differently''Changes to practice''Creating an effective learning environment and skills for practice development' and 'Increasing self-awareness'.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The quality and safety drive in the NHS has an emphasis on delivery of evidence based practice. It was concluded that an active focus on values based practice merits equal attention and status.
