Abstract
What is known on the subject?
Mental health nurses in the UK play a critical role in providing care, advocating for patients and navigating the complexities associated with mental health challenges.
Acknowledging and supporting the efforts of mental health nurses is essential for advancing mental health care, promoting inclusivity and fostering community resilience amidst ongoing challenges within existing health care organisations.
What this paper adds to existing knowledge?
Highlights the integral role of mental health nurses in the UK's health system as both care providers and advocates, underpinning the importance of addressing the growing demand for mental health services
Introduces innovative digital tools like the ‘Hub of Hope’ and the potential of social prescribing as effective strategies for improving access to mental health care and support.
Emphasises the need for enhanced support and recognition of mental health nurses to ensure the sustainable advancement of mental health services and the well-being of communities.
What are the implications for practice?
Mental health nurses should integrate innovative digital tools like the ‘Hub of Hope’ into their practice to improve signposting and access to mental health resources for individuals in need.
There is a critical need for ongoing education and support for mental health nurses within practice settings to maintain their well-being and enhance their ability to provide holistic care despite increasing clinical demands.
Advocacy for increased investment in mental health resources and support for research activities lead by mental health nurses is essential to address current service gaps and promote the development of more effective interventions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally.
All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
