Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterised by emotional dysregulation, feelings of worthlessness, impulsivity, suicidality and poor relationships. As a result of the challenges in the treatment of women living with BPD and the lack of skills from the psychiatric nurse, there was a need to develop a model for psychiatric nurses to facilitate the mental health of women living with BPD.
To describe the process that was followed in developing, describing and evaluating a model that could be used as a framework of reference for psychiatric nurses to facilitate the mental health of women living with BPD.
A theory-generative, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual study design was used to develop the model. The central concept of the model was derived from a previous study: 'The experiences of women living with borderline personality disorder'. The process entailed the identification of the central concept and other essential criteria, the classification of the central concepts and describing the relationships between the concepts.
The central concept was identified as 'facilitation of self-empowerment' of women living with BPD. The concepts 'facilitation' and 'self-empowerment' were defined and classified. The identified and defined central concepts were placed into interrelated statements. The model to facilitate self-empowerment of women living with BPD was developed, described and evaluated. The model has not been implemented.
The model provides a framework of reference for psychiatric nurses to facilitate self-empowerment of women living with BPD.
边缘型人格障碍（BPD）的特征是情绪调节障碍、无价值感、冲动、自杀倾向和人际关系不良。由于治疗患有 BPD 的女性所面临的挑战以及精神科护士缺乏技能，因此需要开发一种模型，以便精神科护士能够促进患有 BPD 的女性的心理健康。
描述开发、描述和评估一种模型的过程，该模型可以作为精神科护士促进患有 BPD 的女性心理健康的参考框架。
采用理论生成、定性、探索性、描述性和情境研究设计来开发模型。模型的核心概念来自先前的研究：“患有边缘型人格障碍的女性的经历”。该过程涉及确定核心概念和其他必要标准、对核心概念进行分类以及描述概念之间的关系。
核心概念被确定为“促进患有 BPD 的女性的自我赋权”。定义并分类了“促进”和“自我赋权”这两个概念。将确定和定义的核心概念放入相互关联的陈述中。开发、描述和评估了促进患有 BPD 的女性自我赋权的模型。该模型尚未实施。
该模型为精神科护士提供了一个参考框架，以促进患有 BPD 的女性的自我赋权。
