Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.

Book Synopsis Advances in Contemporary Mental Health Nursing by : Nicholas G. Procter
Download or read book Advances in Contemporary Mental Health Nursing written by Nicholas G. Procter and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this volume reflect enthusiasm among clinicians and scholars for mental health care being ''everyone''s business'' underpinned by quality, sustainability and health for all, and the creation, application and communication of care delivering individual and community benefit. At the same time there is a commitment from the Journal to ensure ongoing strong links with professional education and practice fostered through international peer reviewed publication.In developing the volume, the editors set about trying to address the dynamic nature of mental health nursing across the lifespan. The importance of mental health nursing is highlighted by knowledge that neuropsychiatric conditions account for 13% of the total Disability Adjusted Life Years lost due to all diseases and injuries in the world and are estimated to increase to 15% by the year 2020 (WHO 2004). Mental ill health represents not only an immense psychological, social and economic burden to society, but also increases the risk and complexity of physical illnesses. Hickie and colleagues (2005) identify the following national trends across Australia People aged between 25 and 49 years account for 56% of all suicides in Australia, and rates were highest in men aged 25 to 29 years (31.1 per 100 000); More than half of all health-related disability costs in 15-34 year-olds are attributable to mental health problems; 27% of all years lived with disability in Australia are attributable to mental disorders; Less than 40% of people with mental disorders receive any mental health care in a 12-month period compared with almost 80% for other common physical health problems; 75% of mental health care is provided in the primary care sector, with limited access to specialist support; Almost 50% of people with mental disorders are not recognised by their general practitioner as having a psychological problem; A majority of psychotic disorders (greater than 50%) commence before age 25, and there can be a delay of 2-8 years before first presentation for treatment; and Up to 60% of cases of alcohol or other substance misuse could be prevented by earlier treatment of common mental health problems. Given the current limitations in effectiveness of treatment modalities for decreasing disability due to mental disorders, the only sustainable method for reducing the burden caused by these disorders in prevention.In clinical practice this means early identification of symptoms and warning signs of mental ill health, improved nutrition, physical activity, housing and social connectedness have the potential to promote mental positive health and prevent mental illness. Such factors also provide substantial insight into the role of risk and protective factors in the developmental pathways to mental disorders and poor mental health. High co-morbidity among mental disorders and their interrelatedness with physical illness and social problems stress the need for integrated public health activity that will target clusters of related problems, common determinants, early stages of multi-problem trajectories and populations at multiple risks. The multi-outcome interventions of nursing and health care should be examined for their psychological benefits for improving positive mental health, the way they contribute to better physical health and generate social and economic benefits. Such investigations should be culturally sensitive and use both qualitative and quantitative research methods.At a service level grass-roots pressures reflect an increasing incidence of mental disorders in young people, increased numbers of presentations for care and more disturbed behaviour, often in association with alcohol or other substance misuse problems. Most likely, the incidence of mental illness across Australia will continue to increase, particularly among younger people, partly because of the adverse effects of current social and environmental factors, as well as ineffectiveness of current treatment modalities (Andrews 2005). These include increased family breakdown, decreasing participation in and sense of belonging to community-based structures such as churches, sporting and recreational associations and social clubs, and increased exposure to substances such as cannabis and illicit stimulants. The prevalence of mental disorders among elderly people is likely to rise due to the increasing incidence of vascular, degenerative and other brain disorders (Hickie et al. 2005). At the same time community demand for appropriate and accessible mental health services is likely to grow over the coming years due to increased aging plus increasing incidence of mental disorders in young people (Mental Health Council of Australia and the Brain and Mind Research Institute 2005).The editors believe this volume both applies and contributes to human knowledge and civil society. In making this claim we have put the contents to the test by asking the fundamental questions raised by Ernest Boyer (1990).How can knowledge be responsibly applied to consequential problems? How can it be helpful to individuals as well as institutions? These scholarly works identify a continuing need to improve access and availability of services and makes a series of recommendations to help achieve this aim. Such an enlargement of focus is important as mental health services within communities are delivered to population groups defined by population need, staff availability and funds available. Such services also tend to be established and sustained around key local service providers such as a senior nurse, community mental health service, community health service, visiting mental health worker, local hospital facility and/or local non-government supports and family support. Pathway access to hospital care varies throughout the world due to the amount of infrastructure support, the episodic nature of mental illness, staff availability, bed availability and transport arrangements. The pathway for access to hospital treatment for marginalised and disenfranchised groups is a particular concern as is access to appropriate services upon discharge in the wider community. Access and availability of services such as crisis assessment teams, respite and supportive accommodation, recovery and psychosocial rehabilitation programs upon discharge from hospitals and community treatment centres are crucial and in constant demand.Finally, the launch of this volume is in tune with the principals of the forthcoming World Health Report 2006. In response to World Health Assembly resolution WHA57.19, the WHO Director-General declared the ''health workforce'' to be the theme of the World Health Report 2006. The Report will offer scientific and policy support for the ''Day and the Decade''. The Day will energize relevant constituencies to celebrate health workers around the world. The follow-up activities of the Decade will focus on implementing and evaluating policies and strategies for workforce development. Both the Day and the Decade will emphasize collaboration, partnership and global responsibility for health workforce issues. Irrespective of practice setting clinical mental health care requires teamwork. This is due to the social and biological determinants of mental ill health, the episodic nature of mental illness, differing approaches to care and availability of resources. Assessment and treatment of mental ill health requires a collaborative systems approach ensuring that care is experienced by clients in a consistent and connected manner. This requires service providers to communicate their assessment of clients and expectations of other service providers and promote continuity of care. The editors hope that the papers of this volume reflect these guiding principals.Nicholas G ProcterAssociate Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of South Australia - City East Campus, Adelaide, South Australia

Book Synopsis Contemporary Psychiatric-mental Health Nursing by : Carol Ren Kneisl
Download or read book Contemporary Psychiatric-mental Health Nursing written by Carol Ren Kneisl and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2004 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people worldwide suffer from mental health disorders. In fact, five of the leading causes of disability in the world today are psychiatric in nature. Psychiatric-mental health nursing is a specialized area that employs a wide range of explanatory theories and research on human behavior as its science and the purposeful use of self as its art. Understanding people who are searching for meaning through interaction in complex times demands the most authoritative and contemporary knowledge and clinical competence. It is through the power of knowledge and clinical competence that psychiatric-mental health nurses can help clients from diverse cultures to live with uncertainty, unfamiliarity and unpredictability and to pursue creative healing on psychobiologic and spiritual levels. Our goal for this textbook,Contemporary Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing,and its companion supplements is to provide students and practicing psychiatric-mental health nurses with the most up-to-date, evidence-based, culturally competent, authoritative, comprehensive resource available and to present it in an accessible, clinically relevant, and professional format. UNDERLYING THEMES Throughout this textbook, we as authors try to remain true to values of humanism, interactionism, cultural competence, the relevance of meaning, and the importance of empathy and empowerment in the nurse-client relationship. We believe that psychiatric-mental health nursing is concerned with the quality of human life and its relationship to optimal psychobiologic health, feelings of self-worth, personal integrity, self-fulfillment, spirituality, and creative expression. The psychiatric-mental health nurse's scope of practice is broad enough to include issues such as alienation, identity crises, sudden life changes, and troubled family relationships. It may involve issues of poverty and affluence, cross-cultural disparities in access to health care, and the human experiences of birth, death, and loss. Psychiatric-mental health nursing is concerned with sustaining and enhancing the mental health of both the individual and the group, while its practice locale is often found in the community. In exploring the theme of global mental health, each unit of this book opens with compelling photographs and stories of individuals from around the world who face a variety of mental health issues. By presenting the readers with this global perspective, we hope to promote awareness of the relevance of those same global issues in our own culturally diverse society. Along these lines, we selected a Mandela to represent the essence of this book.Mandelais the Sanskrit word for circle and symbolizes wholeness or organization around a unifying center. The goal of this book is to explore science, art, and spirituality as a path toward our shared vision of global mental health. It is synthesis of elements important to a holistic view. The Mandela used throughout this book and on its cover is entitled The Great Mother, created by Cynthia Cunningham Baxter. It consists of hands and a mother tree, which is consistent with nursing's goals of care, compassion, and comfort. CONTEMPORARY TRENDS The themes, ideas, knowledge, tools, and organization of this textbook were expressly designed for psychiatric-mental health nursing students and clinicians who are committed to developing the habits of mind, responsibility, and practice that will make a difference in view of contemporary trends. Specifically, this text prepares students to tailor and humanize interventions for traditional as well as "new" psychiatricmental health clients often encountered in forensic settings, homeless shelters, and in other community-based and rehabilitation-oriented settings. Furthermore, because advances in neuroscience and the study of the human genome are redefining our conception of the basis for mental disorders, a solid grounding in psychobiology is threaded throughout the book. Brain imaging assessment and concise yet comprehensive information on the expanding array of psychopharmacologic treatment is yet another strong emphasis. We recognize that psychiatric-mental health clients are racially and culturally diverse and include growing numbers of mentally ill elders, children, adolescents, and people with coexisting substance use disorders or comorbidities with other chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS. Therefore, we devote separate chapters to each of the above topics. We feel confident in entitling this bookContemporary Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursingbecause of its explicit links to contemporary trends in our field. ORGANIZATION The detailed table of contents at the beginning of the book makes its clear organization easy to follow. The book is divided into five parts. Unit I clusters six chapters that provide comprehensive coverage of the theoretic basis for psychiatric-mental health nursing. In Unit II, we address topics traditionally associated with psychiatric-mental health nursing, such as using the nursing process, therapeutic communication, assessment, advocacy and client rights, and creating a therapeutic environment. Unit III focuses on caring for clients with specific DSMIV-TR mental disorders. First, we outline the defining characteristics of each disorder, then we cover the biopsychosocial theories necessary to understand them, and finally we apply the nursing process to caring for clients with these disorders. Unit IV shifts the focus to vulnerable populations that require comfort and care from `psychiatric-mental health nurses. These populations include people at risk for self-destructive behavior, abuse, or violence; psychiatric-mental health clients with HIV/AIDS; and specific age groups. Unit V of the book provides authoritative coverage of nursing intervention strategies and desired outcomes, including a wide range of modalities, from individual, group, and family interventions to psychopharmacology and complementary and alternative healing practices. Throughout the book, experts contributed their knowledge and skills on all the topics covered. FEATURES The following noteworthy features weave together the threads of research, theory, and practice into a comprehensive and contemporary fabric of knowledge and competencies essential to psychiatric-mental health nursing. The content and processes are clearly applicable to the care of identified psychiatric-mental health clients, yet they are also relevant when integrated into the care of all those with whom we interact as professional nurses. Using Research Evidence.In addition to a full chapter devoted to evidence-based psychiatric-mental health nursing practice (Chapter 3), each chapter includes a clinical vignette illustrating how research evidence shapes the plan of care for a particular client. Case-Based Critical Thinking Challenges.Because critical thinking skills are essential to evidence-based practice, a Critical Thinking Challenge begins each chapter, challenging readers to analyze a case scenario that is related to the chapter topic. The discussion points for the critical thinking challenge appear in the Instructor's Resource Manual accompanying this text. Caring for the Spirit.These boxes reinforce the belief in the interconnection of mind, body, and spirit. They appear throughout the book and are designed to promote the understanding of the client's essence, meaning, and purpose in life, as well as the nurse's role in supporting spirituality. Culture and Family Awarenessicons throughout the book call the reader's attention to content that bears on the importance of developing cultural competence and the value of including the family as partners in psychiatric-mental health care. Medicationicons throughout identify sections of the text that discuss psychopharmacology. Case Studies and Nursing Care Plansare found in each of the clinical chapters. These plans use NANDA, NOC, and NIC nomenclature and illustrate linkages among them when caring for clients diagnosed with specific mental disorders according to the DSM-IV-TR. Assessment Guidelines, Intervention Guidelines, Client-Family Teachingboxes all present clinically relevant strategies in a succinct, user-friendly format. Assessment Guidelines contain lists of assessment points. Intervention Guidelines list specific nursing intervention strategies along with their rationales. Client-Family Teaching boxes provide specific client-oriented information that contains sample language a nurse can use when working with clients. Nursing Self-Awareness.Appearing throughout the book, these boxes engage the reader in a process of introspection and self-questioning that is essential to the therapeutic use of self. Rx Communication.Each of the clinical chapters focuses on clients within a particular psychiatric diagnostic category and includes a specially designed box to offer sample dialogues of what a nurse can say in response to clients. In addition, we provide the rationale for at least two different but helpful alternatives. This feature is designed to provide students with a beginning repertoire of communication interventions useful when interacting with psychiatricmental health clients. Case Management, Community-Based Care, and Home Care.Each of the psychiatric disorders chapters and vulnerable populations chapters includes specific information that reflects the fact that the setting for much of psychiatric nursing practice today is found in the community rather than in the hospital. MediaLink and EXPLORE MediaLink.At the beginning of each chapter, a MediaLink box lists specific content, animations and videos, NCLEX review questions, tools, and other interactive exercises that appear on the accompanying Student CD-ROM and the Companion Website. Special MediaLink tabs appear in the margins throughout the chapter that refer the student to the topics and activities on the media supplements. Finally, at the end of each chapter, EXPLORE MediaLink sections encourage students to use the CD-ROM and the Companion Website to apply what they have learned from the text in case studies and care plans, to practice NCLEX questions, and to use additional resources. The purpose of the MediaLink feature is to further enhance the student experience, build upon knowledge gained from the textbook, prepare students for the NCLEX, and foster critical thinking. Focus Questionsprovide the reader with guidance for actively reading the chapter and getting the most out of it. Key Termsalert the reader to the vocabulary used in the chapter and are available in the Audio Glossary found on the Student CD-ROM or the Companion Website.

THE TEXTBOOK AS A MAP, A COMPASS, AND AN INSPIRATION Psychiatric-mental health nursing is poised at a crossroads. We are challenged to bring complex thinking to a complex world if we are to actualize our contribution to global mental health—the vision to which this text is dedicated. This book has been crafted to provide you with the best possible evidence generated in research to help you achieve your goal of excellence in practice. It offers a fully integrated bio/psycho/social perspective rather than relying on any single theory or ideology. It encourages you to become personally, professionally, and spiritually willing to muster the courage and hope necessary to forge proactive steps in our future and to make a commitment to work globally in a contemporary landscape and mindscape. We have the opportunity to forge a new synthesis of professional wisdom in face of tough mind-body-spirit problems and needs. We need to face the new millennium's critical transitions with intelligence, stamina, wit, creativity, skill, and moral courage. Global mental health can become a shared emergent vision constructed in a way that is respectful of the rich diversity of the citizens of our contemporary world. We created this book to provide you with a map, a compass, and the inspiration to succeed in your current work. We hope that it encourages you to become a participant and leader in facing the broader challenges ahead of us. Carol Ren Kneisl Holly Skodol Wilson Eileen Trigoboff
