Assessment of mental health problems is a challenging area of
practice that covers a range of symptoms and behaviours - and
involves building a trust relationship with service users while
also using specialist skills. Using a values-based approach focused
on engaging and working in partnership with the service user, this
book is designed to take you from the core building blocks of
assessment through to practice-based guidance about mental health
behaviours, and concludes with case studies 'on the ground'. The
first section of the book explores core aspects of assessment such
as communication skills and engaging the service user, and explores
how assessment guides the nursing process as a whole. The next
section will be ideal for quick reference during practice and looks
at 23 different clinical behaviours that nurses will assess, under
4 categories: Physical factors in mental health Behavioural aspects
in mental health The role of thoughts in mental health Feelings in
mental health The final section gives 4 case studies of different
assessment stories which relate to the different types of clinical
behaviour you will encounter. This practical book is essential
reading for student nurses and all healthcare staff involved in the
assessment of people with mental health problems. "I would highly
recommend this book to all mental health nursing students. Whilst
the focus is on assessment and care planning; knowledge and skills
on a range of essential areas are present in this text. It is an
essential handbook for key mental health nursing skills. Case
studies are presented with clarity, and Nick Wrycraft is clearly
committed to nurses learning from service users, which is essential
for values-based practice." Julia Terry, Senior Lecturer in Mental
Health Nursing, Swansea University, UK "This text is a good fit for
mental health nursing students new to assessment and care planning,
providing a practical rather than academic approach to these
important aspects of the role." Dr Janine Archer Lecturer School of
Nursing, Midwifery & Social Work, University of Manchester, UK
"Dr. Nick Wrycraft has done tremendously in making available the
maiden edition of this book. Assessment and Care Planning in Mental
Health Nursing will be a valued reference book for mental health
student nurses who are new to the process of assessment and care
planning. The book will therefore go a long way to provide
educational and learning support to pre-registration nursing
students as well as the newly qualified mental health nurses in
practice." Kike Abioye, Mental Health Student Nurse, Anglia Ruskin
University, UK
