Abstract
This article explores the role of service users' locus of control in determining the motivation, engagement and outcome in healthcare settings. The article also advocates for incorporating the concept of locus of control in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of health care in the UK, particularly within sectors that cover mental health and wellbeing. It also highlights intervention tools that mental health nurses and other healthcare professionals would find useful for positive patient outcomes.
