Positioning Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing as a Transformative Force in Health Care. Issues Ment Health Nurs. 2020 Jun 25;:1-9 Authors: Gabrielsson S, Tuvesson H, Wiklund Gustin L, Jormfeldt H Abstract From the perspective of psychiatric and mental health nurses in Sweden, this discussion paper aims to position psychiatric and mental health nursing as a transformative force contributing to enforcing person-centered values and practices in health care. We argue the potential impact of psychiatric and mental health nursing on service user health and recovery, nursing student education and values, and the organization and management of health care. Psychiatric and mental health nursing is discussed as a caring, reflective, and therapeutic practice that promotes recovery and health. Implications for nursing education, research, management, and practice are outlined. PMID: 32584618 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
