The evolution of psychiatric-mental health nursing (Hildegard Peplau) roles and functions

 Interpersonal Nursing identified by Peplau
 Stranger: the role assumed by both the nurse and patient when they first meet
 Resource person: provides health information to a patient who has assumed the consumer role
 Leader: helps the patient participate in a democratically implemented nursing process
 Surrogate: assumes roles that have been assigned by the patient, based on significant past relationships,
as in the psychoanalytical phenomenon of transference
 Counselor: helps the patient integrate the facts and feelings associated with an episode of illness into
the patient total life experience
 Peplau defined nursing as a significant therapeutic process. She clarified psychiatric nursing position
and identified the heart of nursing as the role of counselor or psychotherapist.
 She clarified the differences between general practioners and psychiatric nurses who were specialists and
expert clinical practioners.
 Theoretical framework of psychiatric nursing
o Psychosocial, Biophysical, personality behavior and human behavior.

The nature of contemporary psychiatric-mental health nursing practice

o elements include clinical competence, consumer-family advocacy, fiscal responsibility,
interprofessional collaboration, social accountability and legal ethical parameters.
o Other Concepts
 Delegating= direct care, management
 Teaching= direct care, communication
 Collaboration= communication, management

Effective skills of therapeutic communication and techniques and ability to identify nontherapeutic techniques
and responses

o The key therapeutic tool of the psychiatric nurse is the use of oneself
o Awareness:
 Psychological- knowledge of emotions, motivations, self-concept, and personality. Being
sensitive to feelings and outside events that affect those feelings.
 Physical- personal and general physiology, body sensations, image and physical potential
 Environmental- sociocultural, relationships with others and knowledge of the relationships
between humans and nature
 Philosophical- life having meaning
o Increasing self-awareness- listen to self, others and self-disclosing.
o Value clarification
 Choosing- relies on cognitive abilities: freely from alternatives after thoughtful considerations of
the consequences
 Prizing- emotional or affective level: cherishing, being happy with choice and willing to affirm
publicly
 Acting- behavioral focus- doing with choice. Repeatedly in some pattern of life
o Skills:
o Exploration of feelings- aware and in control of feelings to help patients
o Role models- Model adaptive growth producing behaviors
o Altruism- concern and welfare for others.
o Ethics and Responsibility- accountability, commitment, risk and justice
o Denotative: actual or concrete meaning of word

Mental Health Exam 1 Study Guide
o Connotative: implied of suggested meaning.
o Congruent communication- sender is communication the same message on both ends of verbal
and nonverbal
 Two requirements for therapeutic communication:
o Self-respect of both individuals
o Communication of understanding and acceptance prior to suggestions or advice
 Affective: related to the relationship aspect of the message
 Cognitive response is related to the informational part of the message
 Both deal with evaluation of a message
 Therapeutic communication skills: activates are carried out with the patient, not for the patient
 WHY questions are avoided and ineffective that can be answered as a yes or no. Consequence is that the pat. Do
not take the initiative and are discouraged or prevented from engaging in the process of self-exploration.
