Nurses have been working in the AMI/ABLE ISA for the past 6 years as part of a multidisciplinary team. The nursing contribution is important to the Team, not only because of nursing expertise in providing psychiatric mental health care, but also because nurses can provide services unique to nursing, such as health assessments and education, and medication support (Fur-long-Norman, Palmer-Erbs, & Jonikas, 1997). More than 80 people who are disabled by mental illnesses have been served by this innovative program since 1991, and members' hospitalization rates have been cut approximately in half by integrating services and reducing fragmentation, and by using aggressive outreach and a psychosocial rehabilitation approach. Psychosocial rehabilitation nursing has become a subspecialty that has expanded the profession. Experience in the AMI/ABLE program demonstrates that nurses, as fully integrated members of multidisciplinary teams, adapt to working in partnerships with clients and their families, in nontraditional settings.
在过去6年里，护士作为多学科团队的一员，一直在急性心肌梗死/ABLE独立生活技能评估项目中工作。护理工作对该团队很重要，这不仅是因为护理专业知识在提供精神心理健康护理方面的作用，还因为护士能够提供独特的护理服务，如健康评估与教育以及药物支持（弗隆 - 诺曼、帕尔默 - 厄布斯和乔尼卡斯，1997年）。自1991年以来，这个创新项目已经为80多名因精神疾病而致残的人提供了服务，通过整合服务、减少服务碎片化，以及采用积极的外展服务和社会心理康复方法，成员的住院率已降低了约一半。社会心理康复护理已成为一个扩展了该专业领域的亚专业。急性心肌梗死/ABLE项目的经验表明，作为多学科团队中完全融入的成员，护士能够适应在非传统环境中与客户及其家人合作开展工作。
