This paper will develop a discussion about caring as a modern mental health nurse. We argue that the demands of mental health nursing today extend beyond the more traditional skills of care and caring. We believe that in order to meet mental health needs in the 21st century that caring should be extended to encompass the additional expertise of emotional intelligence and resilience. Emotional intelligence, resilience, and resilient behaviours have the potential to assist individuals to transcend negative experiences and transform these experiences into positive self-enhancing ones. This has implications for improved consumer outcomes through role-modelling and educational processes, but also may hold implications in supporting a strong workforce in mental health.
本文将展开一场关于作为现代心理健康护士的关怀的讨论。我们认为，当今心理健康护理的要求超出了更为传统的护理和关怀技能。我们相信，为了满足21世纪的心理健康需求，关怀应扩展至涵盖情商和适应力等额外的专业技能。情商、适应力及适应行为有潜力帮助个体超越负面经历，并将这些经历转化为积极的自我提升经历。这不仅通过榜样示范和教育过程对改善服务对象的结果有影响，而且在支持强大的心理健康工作队伍方面也可能有意义。
