Preface

Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing: Theory and practice was conceived as a result of three major premises which, in the view of the editors, relate to the practice of psychiatric and mental health nursing. First, that high-quality psychiatric and mental health nursing can be practised only if it is under-pinned by appropriate nursing theory. Secondly, that there exists a body of theory which can and should be applied to psychiatric and mental health nursing. Thirdly, that there is a need for a text which will assist teachers, students and clinicians to apply available nursing and borrowed theory to clinical practice.

The general aim of this book is to introduce nursing students to a theory-based approach to caring for people with psychiatric and mental health problems. The phrase psychiatric and mental health problems indicates that the text relates to clients with a psychiatric diagnosis, and also to those who have mental health problems but who do not necessarily have such a diagnosis. The client group to which the material in this text applies will include those who are, or have been, hospitalized and those in the community who have not been, and may never be, hospitalized.

The intended readership is all students of psychiatric and mental health nursing issues, for example basic and post-basic nurses, and their teachers. Established clinicians who are seeking to develop skills in applying psy-chiatric and mental health nursing theory to practice will, we hope, also find the content of value. While the book is primarily intended for nurses, it should also be of interest to all other groups of psychiatric and mental health workers such as social work, clinical psychology and occupational therapy students.

The special features of this book are that it is essentially a nursing book which seeks to identify problems which nurses can treat, and the means by which that can be done. Selected theoretical models are discussed in rela-tion to general principles and applicarela-tions, then applied to examples of

specific psychiatric and mental health problems. It is intended to rectify the relative weakness of many texts on nursing theory which do not blly address nursing practice, and many relating to nursing practice which do not fully address nursing theory. By addressing both nursing theory and practice via the application of theory, the text will introduce readers to the rationale underpinning a variety of nursing treatment strategies.

Part One of the text (Chapters 1 and 2) introduces the role of nurse in terms of using theory-based strategies in order to personally influence the mental health of clients. Chapter 1 traces the development of the nurse's role from that of providing custodial care, to the identification and treat-ment of human responses to psychiatric and treat-mental health problems, via the application of nursing theory. The application of theory to practice is dependent on making one or more nursing diagnoses as a means of focus-ing nursfocus-ing care on one or more specific patient needs/problems. Chapter 2 gives a classification of human responses which, we believe, provides an appropriate framework from which to make nursing diagnoses. Many of these responses are dealt with in practical terms in the subsequent two parts of the text (Chapters 3 to 18) and provide demonstrations of how diagnoses were made, and the application of theory to practice in order to effect desired change through appropriate nursing intervention.

Part Two (Chapters 3 to 10) provides insight into the rationale, content and general principles of a number of selected major nursing and borrowed theories, and demonstrates the general application of these in relation to psychiatric and mental health nursing. Readers may wish to use Part Two in one of two ways. First, Chapters 3 to 10 might be read independently of the remainder of the text in order to study the principles and general applications of a number of major theories. Alternatively, readers may wish to study an individual chapter on principles and general applications, then move on to the corresponding chapter in Part Three which deals with clinical applications. Because of the common origins of some of the theories presented in this book, and because of similarities in the way in which some are interpreted and applied, there is inevitably a degree of overlap in the chapters in this and the subsequent part of the text. We make no apology for this overlap and view it as a demonstration of the need for nurses to be familiar with and, when appropriate, make use of more than one theory. This approach to nursing is reflected in our decision to include Chapters 10 and 18 which view psychiatric and mental health nursing from an eclectic perspective.

Part Three (Chapters 11 to 18) demonstrates how each of the selected theories can be applied in particular clinical situations. Authors present a brief case-study of a client with specific needs/problems and describe how nursing care based on relevant theory can be delivered. These chapters enable readers to consider why clients behave in a certain way, guide them

to an appropriate nursing diagnosis and intervention, and assist in the prediction and assessment of outcome.

Part Four (Chapters 19 to 21) focuses on issues relating to teaching and learning psychiatric and mental health nursing, and on the nature and scope of psychiatric nursing research. The first two chapters in this part (Chapters 19 and 20) indicate our belief that teaching and learning this subject requires special insights, innovative and special teaching/learning approaches, and the development of a teacher-learner relationship which is not unlike the client-patient relationship. Finally, Chapter 21 reviews the contributions to, and limitations of, existing psychiatric and mental health nursing research.

As with any textbook, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing: Theory and practice has its limitations. It does not deal with the pathology or aetiology of mental illness, with the contributions of other professionals, or with the structure and organization of psychiatric and mental health care generally, or nursing in particular, for example. However, these limitations are delib-erate in that the general aim of the text is to demonstrate how nursing theory can be applied to clinical practice, and to place that application in the context of how the subject is being, and can be, taught, learned and researched.
