There is overwhelming evidence that the physical health needs of those with serious mental illness have been neglected by health service professionals. Mental health nurses (MHNs) could play a key role in meeting these needs particularly during hospital admissions, yet they are uncertain about their role, have variable levels of confidence and lack appropriate skills and training. This study investigated MHNs' views and practices of physical health management for adults receiving acute inpatient treatment and found a difference between MHNs' perceived responsibility and their practice, which highlighted a need for role clarification and further skills training.
有压倒性的证据表明，医疗服务专业人员忽视了患有严重精神疾病的人的身体健康需求。精神科护士（MHN）可以在满足这些需求方面发挥关键作用，特别是在住院期间，然而他们对自己的角色不确定，信心水平不一，缺乏适当的技能和培训。这项研究调查了 MHN 对接受急性住院治疗的成年人进行身体健康管理的看法和做法，发现 MHN 感知到的责任与其实践之间存在差异，这突出表明需要明确角色和进一步的技能培训。
