What does a nurse need to know and do to maintain an effective level of case management?

The nurse needs to have a working knowledge of the needs of the seriously mentally ill and their families and effective treatment modalities, including therapeutic use of self, networking and social systems, crisis intervention, pharmacology, physical and psychosocial assessment skills, psychosocial rehabilitation, collaborative skills, teaching skills, psychoeducation, management and leadership skills, research, group skills, psychopathology, relevant legislation, biological psychiatry, and community resources. The ANA Standards of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Practice (1982) provides a broad framework for the nurse case manager.

Services for the underserved. A nurse-managed center for the chronically mentally ill.

1. A university-based, nurse-managed center for the chronically mentally ill enhanced the experiences of baccalaureate nursing students with this underserved population. 2. The course objectives included psychosocial rehabilitation for chronic illness and provided a good fit between client's needs, course objectives, and the behavioral-ecological model. 3. The project positively changed the attitudes of nursing students. Changing attitudes of professionals and motivating student interest toward the chronically mentally ill is an imperative for meeting their needs.

Strategies for improving education.

1. An extensive curriculum is required to prepare mental health professionals to adequately assess, plan, and implement the necessary comprehensive treatment plan and to sufficiently develop relevant social policy. 2. A majority of professionals believe they were not adequately trained in the care of the chronically mentally ill; this may be a result of the trend of integrating the teaching of mental health nursing concepts into the baccalaureate curriculum. 3. Frequently there is a lack of mental health professional role models. Nursing faculty are in an excellent position to implement innovative practice models. 4. Learning from a multidisciplinary team may increase the likelihood that students will apply these approaches to the chronically mentally ill.
