Involving and supporting the family members and caregivers of people with mental illness is essential to high-quality mental health services. However, literature suggests that there is a lack of engagement between family members and mental health nurses (MHNs). Lack of knowledge among MHNs is often cited as one of the main reasons for this lack of engagement. The aim of this review was to explore the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are required by MHNs to enable to them to work more effectively with families affected by mental illness. A literature based critical review was used to access and review 35 papers in order to extract concepts that could inform the design of eLearning materials to assist MHNs advance their knowledge in this area. Two overarching themes were identified; 'Mental health problems and the family' and 'Working with the family'. From these themes, the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to work more effectively with families are described. The findings from this review provide a descriptive account of the knowledge skills and attitudes that are required for effective family work. In addition, the review provides an empirical foundation for education programmes in the area.
让精神疾病患者的家属和照护者参与并支持精神卫生服务，对于提供高质量的精神卫生服务至关重要。然而，文献表明，精神科护士与患者家属之间的参与度不足。精神科护士知识的匮乏通常被认为是导致这种参与度不足的主要原因之一。本综述的目的是探讨精神科护士需要具备哪些知识、技能和态度，以便他们能够更有效地与受精神疾病影响的家庭合作。采用基于文献的批判性综述方法，检索并回顾了 35 篇论文，以提取可用于设计电子学习材料的概念，帮助精神科护士在这一领域拓展知识。确定了两个总体主题：“精神健康问题和家庭”和“与家庭合作”。从这些主题中，描述了与家庭合作更有效的所需的知识、技能和态度。本综述的研究结果提供了关于有效家庭工作所需知识、技能和态度的描述性说明。此外，该综述为该领域的教育项目提供了实证基础。
