Aspects of the work of five community psychiatric nurses are examined by means of a questionnaire completed by the nurses for a sample of 50 patients. Information sharing and a close working relationship with the general practitioner, skills relating to assessment and psychological support of patients, organization of care by other agencies, a detailed knowledge of community agencies, and a capacity for interdisciplinary working were all found to be important. Tasks relating to body care were reported in only a small number of cases. The nurses saw themselves as advising on the planning of patient management and the selection of medication in a substantial minority of cases. The original brief had been to care for psychogeriatric patients but a third of the patients fell into a younger age group. These findings are discussed in connection with their implications for the future training of nurses and the relationship between primary care teams and local psychiatric services.
通过社区精神科护士填写的针对50名患者样本的问卷，对五名社区精神科护士的工作情况进行了调查。结果发现，信息共享以及与全科医生的密切合作关系、与患者评估及心理支持相关的技能、其他机构的护理组织、对社区机构的详细了解以及跨学科合作能力都很重要。仅在少数案例中报告了与身体护理相关的任务。在相当一部分案例中，护士们认为自己在患者管理计划和药物选择方面提供了建议。最初的任务是照顾老年精神病患者，但三分之一的患者属于较年轻的年龄组。结合这些发现对护士未来培训以及初级保健团队与当地精神科服务之间关系的影响进行了讨论。
