abstract: 'Accessible summary
This paper examines the usage of psychological therapies by mental
health nurses. The paper presents the findings from a questionnaire
survey of 528 practising mental health nurses in Australia. Key findings
include:
Mental health nurses believe employing psychological therapies such as
cognitive behaviour therapy in their practice will improve therapeutic
outcomes for consumers.
Mental health nurses overwhelmingly want to employ psychological
therapies in their practice.
They think mental health nursing and hospital and community health
management is too focussed on medical treatment and risk management,
which means that their nursing practice is dominated by the
administration of medication, excessive documentation, and patient
observation.
They identify barriers preventing them from practising psychological
therapies. These include lack of confidence, low nurse morale, no
support from other nurses, low staffing levels, lack of training
opportunities, and inadequate support from nursing management.
This paper reports on a research project which examines the feasibility
of mental health nurses employing psychological therapies in the nursing
care of people with severe mental illness. Attitudes towards current
usage and factors influencing the adoption of psychological therapies
are investigated. The paper addresses the gap in the Australian nursing
literature regarding the therapeutic role of mental health nurses (MHN)s
in relation to the use of evidence-based psychological therapies. This
paper presents the findings from an online questionnaire survey of 528
practising MHNs in Australia. The findings demonstrate enthusiastic
support among nurses towards employing psychological therapies, with
93\% of respondents indicating they would like to use psychological
therapies in their current practice. Correspondingly, there is strong
demand for education and training in applying psychological therapies. A
number of barriers to implementing psychological therapies are
identified. It is noted that place of employment is a significant
factor, with mental health nurses working in the public sector more
likely to state institutional barriers are restricting their therapeutic
potential and preventing them from implementing psychological therapies.'
