[The nursing process in the care of the mental patient--nursing diagnosis].

The nursing process, in the area of mental health nursing, is a philosophy and a scientific method of holistic and personalized nursing care. It includes four main nursing theories: the holistic theory, the theory of human needs, the general systems theory and the interpersonal theory. Nursing diagnosis, the crucial part of the first stage of the process, is especially discussed with emphasis on the criteria of its appropriateness, the dimensions of the patient to be assessed and the already available psychiatric nursing diagnoses system as a frame of reference.

Nurses' conceptions of how health processes are promoted in mental health nursing.

The health and well-being of the individual is a central goal in nursing, and health promotion seeks to enable people to increase control over and improve their health. In mental health care, health is often described in negative terms such as the absence of mental illness, which may create hopelessness and constitute a barrier to a policy of health promotion. The aim of this study was to describe nurses' conceptions of how health processes are promoted in mental health nursing. Twelve nurses working in mental health care were interviewed and the data were analysed using a phenomeographic approach. The nurses expressed 11 different conceptions of the phenomenon, which were summarized into three descriptive categories: presence, balance of power, and focus on health. The findings show that the nurses expressed ambiguous attitudes towards meeting the patient in mental health care. It is suggested that the goal of nursing care should be clarified for nurses in practice, otherwise they may adopt the perspectives of other mental health professionals.

Bridging the discharge process.

Current mental health initiatives are decreasing the number of psychiatric beds and thus increasing the number of clients with serious mental illness who are being served in the community. Such changes have implications for clients' quality of life and health care economics. To implement the changes while addressing the unique needs of psychiatric clients, appropriate models of discharge planning and community integration are critical.
