Perspectives in Psychiatric Care最新文献

Purpose: To explore the views and experiences of nursing students about evaluating the sexual health of individuals with mental disorders.

Design and methods: A phenomenological approach was used. The purposeful sampling method gathered 11 nursing students. Data were collected in-depth interviews, which were analyzed using Colaizzi's method of data analysis.

Findings: The findings were grouped under three themes: Barriers to sexual health evaluation, lack of supervision and knowledge, and increasing personal growth.

Practice implications: Barriers to sexual health evaluation need to be determined. Educators and clinicians should supervise students during clinical placement. Learning holistic care is an opportunity to increase personal growth.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of a 10-week psychoeducation program (PP) on disease burden, depression, and anxiety levels in relatives of psychotic patients.

Design and methods: The participants were 43 relatives of patients attending a community mental health center. The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to collect psychometric data.

Findings: Administering the PP to caregivers significantly reduced their ZCBS, BAI, and BDI scores.

Practice implications: We recommend integrating the PP into treatment and rehabilitation programs within the scope of psychiatric-care services.

Purpose: To determine the effect of perceived social support of menopausal women on their menopausal complaints.

Design and methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 505 women. The data were obtained using personal information form, menopause rating scale, and multidimensional scale of perceived social support. Frequency, percentage, t test, analysis of variance Skewness and Kurtosis (±1) and correlation were used in the analysis of the data.

Findings: In the study, it was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between menopausal symptoms and social support, and menopausal symptoms decreased as social support increased.

Practice implications: Nurses should provide consultancy for women to increase their social support systems to decrease their menopausal complaints.

Purpose: To describe the relationship between leadership orientation and emotional intelligence levels of nursing students.

Method: The study is a cross-sectional and descriptive correlational study.

Results: This study was carried out with 320 nursing students. There was a positive relationship between the mean scores for the Leadership Orientations subdimensions and the mean scores for the overall Emotional Intelligence Evaluation Scale and its subdimensions.

Practice implications: More studies are needed to examine the relationship between students' emotional intelligence and leadership orientations.

Purpose: Pregnancy period is important for all women. The aim of this study was to evaluate mental status, antenatal depression, attachment, and anxiety in pregnant women with fetal complications.

Design and methods: Mothers who had been diagnosed with fetal complications during pregnancy were interviewed after the delivery of their babies.

Findings: The results showed that anxiety and depression scores were significantly higher in the mothers who had received psychiatric support treatment. Maternal attachment scores were found low, depression scores were found high in mothers of children with congenital anomalies.

Conclusion: According to the results of the study, a maternal attachment was low and depression was high in mothers with congenital anomalies.

Practice implications: Possible psychological problems after birth can be prevented by psychotherapeutic nursing interventions during pregnancy to pregnant women who have babies with fetal anomalies.
