Preparing baccalaureate nursing students to deliver care to an increasingly complex patient population is an ongoing challenge for nursing educators. Wanting to provide their students with a more holistic approach to patient care, undergraduate psychiatric-mental health nursing course faculty created a clinical rotation to address the needs of psychiatric patients who also had 1 or more medical comorbidities. In this article, we describe a pilot project in which students volunteered to participate in a 24-hour clinical experience focused on assessing and addressing the mental health needs of patients admitted to a medical or surgical clinical unit. Evaluation of this approach indicates that the predominant clinical and educational model of specialized healthcare undermines a single course approach to integrated care.
为日益复杂的患者群体提供护理服务是护理教育工作者面临的一项持续挑战。为了让学生对患者护理有更全面的了解，本科精神病学-心理健康护理课程的教师开设了一个临床轮转课程，以满足同时患有 1 种或多种医学合并症的精神病患者的需求。在本文中，我们描述了一个试点项目，学生自愿参与为期 24 小时的临床体验，重点评估和解决被收入医疗或外科临床科室的患者的心理健康需求。对这种方法的评估表明，专门医疗保健的主要临床和教育模式破坏了综合护理的单一课程方法。
