A cardiometabolic specialist nursing role could potentially improve physical health of people with serious mental illness.
A national survey of Australian nurses working in mental health settings investigated predictors of support for the role.
Predictors included belief in physical healthcare neglect, interest in training; higher perceived value of improving physical health care.
The findings suggest that nurses see the cardiometabolic health nurse role as a promising initiative for closing gaps in cardiometabolic health care and skilling other nurses in mental health. However, as the majority of variance in cardiometabolic health nurse support was unexplained, more research is urgently needed on factors that explain differences in cardiometabolic health nurse endorsement.
心脏代谢专科护理角色可能会改善严重精神疾病患者的身体健康状况。
一项针对在心理健康机构工作的澳大利亚护士的全国性调查，探究了对该角色支持的预测因素。
预测因素包括对忽视身体保健的看法、对培训的兴趣；对改善身体保健更高的感知价值。
研究结果表明，护士们将心脏代谢健康护士这一角色视为弥合心脏代谢保健差距以及使其他心理健康护士具备相关技能的一项有前景的举措。然而，由于对心脏代谢健康护士支持的大部分差异无法解释，迫切需要对解释心脏代谢健康护士认可差异的因素开展更多研究。
