The role of the mental health component of general nurse training has been the source of much revision and controversy. Although advocates have proposed a psychiatric experience for general nurses for over thirty years it was only in 1977 following a directive from the General Nursing Council (GNC) that it became a compulsory part of general nurse education. However debate continues; it ranges from whether a specialist psychiatric placement has any academic or clinical merit at all to how issues relating to mental health should be addressed most constructively. After only 11 years the 1977 GNC guidelines changed once again making a distinct psychiatric placement no longer compulsory. This paper critically reviews current guidelines and places the debate once again firmly in the public arena.
普通护士培训中精神健康部分的作用一直是诸多修订和争议的源头。尽管倡导者们三十多年来一直提议让普通护士接受精神病学方面的体验，但直到1977年，在普通护理理事会（GNC）发布一项指令之后，它才成为普通护士教育的一个必修部分。然而，争论仍在继续；范围涵盖从专科精神病学实习是否有任何学术或临床价值，到如何最有建设性地解决与精神健康相关的问题。仅仅11年后，1977年的GNC指南再次发生变化，使专门的精神病学实习不再是强制性的。本文批判性地审视了当前的指南，并再次将这场争论坚定地置于公共领域。
