This article will describe the current COVID-19 crisis and the evolving mental health concerns associated with it, discuss how mental health practice has changed, and ways in which psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can adapt and prepare for the future.
A search of current literature on the COVID-19 crisis, and topics relevant to the mental health components associated with the pandemic are reviewed. Telemental health (TMH) and PMHNP practice are discussed as they relate to the unfolding picture of the viral pandemic.
The COVID-19 crisis is having far-reaching implications for mental health treatment and in particular for PMHNPs in practice settings. There have been widespread consequences of the containment measures used for the protection and mitigation of the disease. One such result has been the inability of patients to have face-to-face contact with their providers. The role of TMH has become increasingly important as an adaptation in professional practice.
Technology has rapidly transformed traditional practice due to the COVID-19 crisis and there is strong evidence that it is well accepted by patients and providers. It is incumbent on PMHNPs to embrace TMH and become educated on best practices and TMH services.
本文将描述当前的新冠疫情危机以及与之相关的不断演变的心理健康问题，讨论心理健康实践如何发生了变化，以及精神心理健康护理从业者（PMHNP）如何适应并为未来做好准备。
对当前关于新冠疫情危机以及与该大流行相关的心理健康组成部分的相关主题的文献进行检索并综述。讨论远程心理健康（TMH）和PMHNP实践与病毒大流行发展情况的关系。
新冠疫情危机对心理健康治疗，尤其是对实际工作环境中的PMHNP产生了深远影响。用于保护和缓解该疾病的防控措施产生了广泛影响。其中一个结果是患者无法与他们的医疗服务提供者进行面对面接触。作为专业实践中的一种适应方式，TMH的作用变得越来越重要。
由于新冠疫情危机，技术迅速改变了传统实践，并且有充分证据表明它受到患者和医疗服务提供者的广泛接受。PMHNP有责任接受TMH并接受最佳实践和TMH服务方面的教育。
