The unmet behavioral health treatment needs of children and adolescents have become a public health crisis in the United States, with only 20% of youths obtaining assessment and intervention when indicated. Workforce shortages, including mental health professionals who can provide pharmacologic intervention within an appropriate biopsychosocial context, directly impede our ability to address this crisis. The authors examine the history, education, regulation, and practice of advanced practice psychiatric nurses and consider models of collaborative practice that can be beneficial across treatment settings in order to provide better care of vulnerable youth in ways that foster partnership rather than competition.
美国儿童和青少年未满足的行为健康治疗需求已成为公共卫生危机，只有 20%的青少年在需要时获得评估和干预。劳动力短缺，包括能够在适当的生物心理社会环境中提供药物干预的心理健康专业人员，直接阻碍了我们应对这一危机的能力。作者研究了高级实践精神科护士的历史、教育、监管和实践，并考虑了可以在各种治疗环境中受益的合作实践模式，以便以促进合作而不是竞争的方式为弱势青年提供更好的护理。
