Nurse up-skill to enhance care for Mental illness Patients

Mental health care is becoming a very emotive healthcare issue today that needs to be mitigated. Present healthcare models and available treatments approaches have failed to sufficiently address the crisis of mental health care globally.Lake and Turner (2017), states that Mentalillness contributes to approximately one-third of the global disability.Severe mental illnesses which include the major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and others aggravated by substance use have affected people in all age groups worldwide including the developed countries such as Canada, United States and European Union countries. However, if not well abated, mental disorders could be a major health task and a possible pandemic issue.

For this reason, it is possible for the matter to be adequately approached if the nurses treating the patients with mental illnesses have the required skills and knowledge . Since patients with psychiatric disorders requires acute care in moments of crisis, there is a huge need for a psychiatric nurse. The nurses caring for people with mentally illness requires to be well equipped with proper skills to handle these patients.

Researching PICO(T) question

In order to inquire on the matter, there is a need to formulate a clinical question. Is a widely known research method to frame a leading research question.The questions are divided into key components to make them searchable.The patient population, intervention, control or comparison, the outcome, Timing of the outcome (PICOT), (Grewal, Kataria and Dhawan2016). PICO(T) question is; what knowledge a nurse needs to have to enhance mental ill patients?In this case;

· Patients(P)—The important group of patients is the mental illness patients?

· Intervention(I)—What the most important intervention for the mental illness?

· Control(C)—What are the control measures for mental illness disease?

· Outcome(O)—What are the effect of intervention?

Utilization of Boolean Operators

I performed a new search utilizing Boolean operators with search terms “effectiveness AND adult.” CINAHL Plus resulted in 12 articles, and the MEDLINE resulted in 60 articles. After changing “AND” nurse to “OR” nurse or doctor or practitioners or HealthWorks’s, CINALHL resulted to 1,7967,68 and MEDLINE was 5,676,434. This indicates the need to search database more effectively (Considine et al.,2017).

Strategies to be Utilized

When carrying out research, it is essential to use scholarly sites simply because most scholarly works and Journal’s publications cannot be found on the google search engine. It is also vital to use resources published within the last five years (Supriyanto et al., 2019). While researching the clinical issue, several databases were utilized, and this includes; MEDLINE and CINAHL.
