Design andMethods: Two focus groupswere conducted, with the participation of 15 nursing professionals. Data were analysed thematically. Findings: Five topics previously identifiedwere analysed: theoretical conceptualization, structure, patients’ inclusion and exclusion criteria, operationalization, and evaluation of the intervention(s) effectiveness. Theoretical conceptualization has been mainly grounded on Peplau’s theory.Moreover, participants believe that standardized nursing language and nursing process should be the presumptions of the model. Practice Implications: This study allowed the identification of a minimum set of features that should integrate a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing, about which consensus must be reached with a view to its further development.engAdultFemaleHumansMalePortugalPsychotherapySpainFocus GroupsModels, NursingNursing Theoryjournal article10.1111/ppc.122111744-6163
