Improving mental health for all is increasingly important in nursing as more people suffer from mental health issues, ranging from stress through to diagnosed illnesses. It is crucial that all nurses, not just mental health nurses, are aware of mental health problems and the impact these have on patients, families and carers. This book gives a clear overview of mental health in nursing, relevant for all fields of practice. It explains the core features of the mental health nursing field, and explores aspects of mental health that every nurse should understand in order to provide holistic care to their patients.

interesting book adopting the new NMC standards for pre registration nurse education aligning specific competences to chapters. the book provides an overview / summary of essential mental health topics which could be used therefore as a recommended read for certain 1st year modules

A very useful addition to the 'Transforming nursing practice' series: informative, well written & easy to read. As with other books in the series NMC standards & Essential Skills Clusters form a backdrop for the learning outcomes. A range of case scenarios that apply across all areas of nursing support its holistic approach to 'Nursing and mental health care'.
