Infos

This research-based psychiatric nursing text aims to bridge the gap between the behavioural and biological sciences. It considers a range of conditions from physical health issues to specific psychiatric problems. There is an emphasis on the importance of systematic, individualized assessment, and the authors discuss the instruments that can be used to assess behaviour and evaluate outcomes. Multi-modal interventions, using both behavioural and bilogical information, are encouraged, and the text draws implications from the knowledge base that bear on career development in psychiatric nursing.
