Connell School of Nursing
This course builds upon the standards of practice from APNA-ISPN, AACN, and QSEN to discuss the legal, ethical, and therapeutic role of the psychiatric mental health nurse in caring for individuals with psychiatric disorders across the life span. Current interdisciplinary research on the genetic, neurobiological, and psychosocial theories of depression, psychosis, substance abuse, bipolar illness, eating, anxiety, personality, and cognitive disorders is analyzed. Evidence-based nursing practice, including psychopharmacology and psychosocial treatment modalities such as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, group, and milieu therapy is applied from a multicultural perspective. Nursing interventions for families and communities experiencing crisis, grief, and trauma are identified.
