A national study was undertaken in Australia to develop and validate a set of clinical indicators for mental health nursing. Using survey and action research procedures, the indicators were developed in two stages. During stage one, focus group interviews involving 39 nurses were conducted at national conferences in Australia and New Zealand in order to provide a pool of indicator statements. A Delphi survey of an Australian sample of mental health nurses (n = 33) was then conducted to refine the indicators. In stage two, the refined indicators were tested and validated in selected clinical settings. A total of 1751 mental health nurses employed at 14 sites were involved in the second stage of the study. The resulting data were used to establish the set of national indicators that the Australian and New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses will use in practice accreditation and benchmarking.
澳大利亚开展了一项全国性研究，以制定并验证一套心理健康护理的临床指标。通过调查和行动研究程序，分两个阶段制定这些指标。在第一阶段，在澳大利亚和新西兰的全国性会议上，对39名护士进行了焦点小组访谈，以提供一系列指标陈述。随后对澳大利亚心理健康护士样本（n = 33）进行了德尔菲调查，以完善这些指标。在第二阶段，在选定的临床环境中对完善后的指标进行测试和验证。该研究的第二阶段共有14个地点的1751名心理健康护士参与。所得数据用于确立澳大利亚和新西兰心理健康护士学院将在实践认证和基准评估中使用的一套全国性指标。
