Download or read book An Examination of the Role of the Mental Health Nurse in Acute Inpatient Settings in Australia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Perceptions Versus Reality written by Nofaa Ali Alasmee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the aim of care for consumers is to be treated within the community, some will require care in an acute inpatient facility from time to time. The emphasis of acute inpatient units has evolved to providing assessment and short intense management to consumers as a care continuum approach, especially for those who cannot receive adequate treatment in community settings. Thus, the direction of acute inpatient units is toward reduction of symptoms within a short time. Nevertheless the specific roles of mental health nurses in acute inpatient units continue to be debated. The aim of this study was to gain a unique insight into the role of mental health nurses in acute inpatient settings and the range of models of care utilised in these units in Australia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This mixed method study used non-participant observation, interviews, focus groups, and job satisfaction surveys to describe the current role and models of care and measure nurses' level of satisfaction. Findings indicate that mental health nurses from both countries believe that their role is focused on the recovery model and that they provide holistic nursing that involves consumers' mental, physical and psychosocial needs. However, findings also indicate that nurses tended to focus on consumers' physical and safety needs more than mental health needs. Moreover, the medical model of care is the dominant model in both Australia and KSA. Australian nurses are more educated and have greater resources at their disposal but they do not utilise them to their advantage. Yet the findings did not reflect a significant dissatisfaction indicating that mental health nurses are satisfied with current work practice. In conclusion, the findings show a clear disparity between nurses' perceptions and their actual practice in acute inpatient units. This leads to role ambiguity and confusion. Despite quite different health service systems and cultures, nurses in acute inpatient units in both KSA and Australia resort to 'safe' practices and this limits their scope and role.

This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who use forensic mental health services are defined by the fact that they have violated boundaries, often in many ways. For clinicians employed to work therapeutically with this client group however, the capacity to initiate and maintain boundaries is critical to safety as well as to good treatment outcomes. This book provides a thorough introduction to the subject of professional and therapeutic boundaries and their particular complexities within forensic mental health settings. The contributors, all experts in their respective fields, address the challenges of establishing working boundaries within forensic mental health services from multiple perspectives. They explore the ways in which boundaries can be initiated and maintained in different areas of forensic mental health work, including in psychotherapy, mental health nursing, arts therapies, forensic psychiatry and family therapy, and when working with different client groups, including children and adolescents, offenders with severe personality disorders in high security settings and sex offenders. Consideration is also given to boundaries and homicide, maternal boundary violations and boundaries in a forensic learning disability service. This authoritative, interdisciplinary resource will support all forensic mental health practitioners in this crucial aspect of their work.

Download or read book Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses Perspectives on Professional Boundaries written by Robin Catherine Becker and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The therapeutic nurse-patient relationship is essential to psychiatric mental health nursing practice. Psychiatric mental health nurses must develop and maintain a positive therapeutic relationship with patients while upholding professional boundaries. The definition of professional boundaries is elusive and leaves much room for interpretation. Lack of a clear definition can impair nurses' knowledge and understanding of professional boundaries, which can lead to potential boundary violations. Currently literature does not represent the subjective definitions individual psychiatric mental health nurses have regarding professional boundaries. The purpose of this study was to explore the definitions of professional boundaries from the perspectives of psychiatric mental health nurses. All participants had a current registered nursing license, were currently employed at the sample hospital, and provided informed consent for participation. To address this purpose, answers to the following research questions were sought: 1) How do psychiatric mental health nurses define professional boundaries, 2) How does the psychiatric mental health nurse's definition of professional boundaries affect her or his practice, and 3) What challenges do psychiatric mental health nurses face in maintaining professional boundaries. To answer the research questions, a sample of seven psychiatric mental health nurses who practice at a hospital in Montana were interviewed using qualitative open-ended questions. Based on the participants response four themes relating to definitions of professional boundaries were identified. The themes were: (a) distinct to mental health, (b) changes throughout career, (c) relates to patient age, and (d) impact on practice. The results suggest the need for additional research on professional boundaries in a variety of psychiatric and non-psychiatric settings. The results of this study also offer many implications for future practice including regular staff training, thorough educational foundation, administrative attention to boundary violations and adequate self-care. The outcomes of this study can be used to guide psychiatric mental health nurses, nurse administrators, and healthcare organizations in promoting the therapeutic relationship while maintaining professional boundaries.

Download or read book Interpersonal Relations In Nursing written by Hildegard E. Peplau, RN and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 1991-06-20 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1952 by a towering figure in nursing history, this book stresses the then novel theory of interpersonal relations as it was relevant to the work of nurses. Her framework suggested that interaction phenomena that occur during patient-nurse relationships have qualitative impact on patient outcomes. While the past four decades have seen a substantial expansion in the use and understanding of interpersonal theory, such as cognitive development and general systems theory, this classic book remains a useful foundation for all nurses as so much subsequent work used this work as its starting point. Springer Publishing Company is delighted to make this book available again.
