Content
This unit is designed to provide nurses with a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic nursing interventions that can support and facilitate the recovery process in mental health. Contemporary mental health treatment calls for a combination of nursing interventions that treat symptoms, manage psychological distress and support and foster consumer wellbeing and resilience. This often requires a combination of medical and psychological therapies which enable consumer choice and supported decision making. In this unit, students will explore both pharmacologic and talk therapies that underpin current mental health nursing practices. This includes the quality use of psychotropic medications such as antipsychotic, antimanic, anxiolytic and antidepressant medications. This unit will also comprehensively explore person-centred approaches to talk therapy, such as cognitive behaviour therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. The significant role lifestyle choices and peer- support interventions play in mental wellbeing, will also be extensively explored.
