'This is an exciting and timely contribution to the resources
available for policy makers, and practitioners wishing to improve
standards and health and social outcomes in inpatient care within
the context of community oriented comprehensive care for people
with mental illness' - Professor Rachel Jenkins, Director, WHO
Collaborating Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London
'This book is a valuable addition to the growing literature on
acute care and should provide great encouragement to the frontline
staff in this area... By bringing together this range of excellent
material the editors have also been able to produce a book which
addresses the most thorny problems which face most frontline staff
for much of their working day' - From the Foreword by Professor
Kevin Gournay, CBE Health Services Research Department, Institute
of Psychiatry 'Inpatient mental health care has had a rough ride in
recent years. Its shortcomings have been highlighted, while policy
emphasis and cash have been directed to community services. This
very welcome book reminds us that inpatient care and treatment are
an essential element in the spectrum of mental health services and
shows how they can be re-thought and fine-tuned in ethos, practice
and training, for the benefit of service-users, staff and the wider
community. It deserves a wide readership' - John Bowis MEP (former
Health Minister for Mental Health) 'By concentrating on describing
the skills of practitioners the editors and authors of Acute Mental
Health Nursing have developed a unique resource for both students
and practitioners of acute inpatient care. Their no nonsense
evidence- based approach will be an invaluable aid to developing
practical responses to this important though challenging area of
mental health practice' - Richard Bradshaw, Director of Nursing
Prison Health Department of Health England formerly Professional
Office Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Nursing UKCC
'Comprehensively tackles a range of key issues that the student or
advanced practitioner in acute mental health nursing will face... I
recommend this book, which will provide a useful resource for
anyone interested in this important area of nursing' - Journal of
Community Nursing Recent mental health policy has focused on
developing community-based services, while the reality remains that
patients experiencing acute episodes of illness are mainly cared
for in hospital. Acute Mental Health Nursing has been developed as
a guide to the core knowledge and skills required for working in
inpatient settings. Bringing together a vastly experienced and
multi-professional team of contributors, the book covers core areas
of practice including: * assessment * risk management * case
management and integrated care pathways * observation * cognitive
behavioural therapy * psycho-social interventions * medication
management * user involvement * social inclusion * measurement of
health and social functioning. Drawing on the latest developments
in policy and planning, Acute Mental Health Nursing addresses
issues which are specific to working in inpatient settings. It has
been designed for use in training and is also an excellent source
of reference for use in practice.
