This paper describes a pilot program that examined the feasibility of training for qualified mental health nurses in behavioural psychotherapy in response to the perceived need for improved client access to services. A 6-month course was conducted with four nurses from the in-patient mental health unit at Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia. They received a combination of workshop training and supervised practice by qualified and experienced nurse behavioural psychotherapists and were assessed throughout the period for clinical competency and level of knowledge in the subject. All four nurses completed the training satisfactorily. Each trainee treated four clients who presented with a range of anxiety disorders. The implications for further training of suitably qualified mental health professionals in the area are discussed.
本文描述了一个试点项目，该项目针对人们所认为的改善客户获得服务的需求，检验了对合格的心理健康护士进行行为心理治疗培训的可行性。在南澳大利亚弗林德斯医疗中心的住院心理健康科室，对四名护士开展了为期6个月的课程。他们接受了由合格且经验丰富的护士行为心理治疗师进行的工作坊培训和督导实践，并在整个培训期间接受了临床能力和该学科知识水平的评估。所有四名护士均圆满完成了培训。每位学员治疗了四名患有一系列焦虑症的客户。文中还讨论了该领域对资质合格的心理健康专业人员进行进一步培训的意义。
