Nursing practice problem
The nursing practice discussed in the paper is mental health and homelessness. Homelessness and mental health is detrimental and needs timely intervention to safeguard different societies' interests. Mental health and homelessness are considered clinical issues which heavily impact each other. For instance, those who suffer from homelessness problems tend to experience mental health issues. The health issue is critical since it impacts contemporary society.
Additionally, mental illness can obscure one's judgment and hamper one's capacity to bounce back from setbacks. As a result of these and other factors, persons with mental illness are more likely to become homeless. They exacerbated poor mental health by living in a homeless shelter. Anxiety, fear, sadness, lack of sleep, and drug abuse are all made worse whether people are experiencing homelessness for the first time or have had mental health problems. People with mental disorders who are homeless have many of the exact requirements as those without physical safety, education, transportation, accessible housing, and access to affordable medical and dental care and services. It's critical to offer a safe and supportive environment, provide their most basic requirements (such as food and shelter), and make care available.
PICOT question
Regarding homeless adults, can clinical education work better than psychoeducation in restoring mental health in 6 months?
Background of the study
In 2018, a study by Moulin found that patients with mental disorders experience obstacles to receiving continuous outpatient care. Mental health treatments are often inaccessible and inadequately linked with primary care. Patients with mental illness who go to the ER may not be generally applicable based on studies in significant urban demographics. Patients with mental illness have been studied in studies; however, the sample size is either confined to a single hospital or a particular metropolitan region. According to the study, there was a high correlation between frequent ED visits for mental illness and substance use diagnoses. The link between drug abuse and mental illness underscores the need for medical care that treats both conditions simultaneously. ‘SAMSHA’s 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that 7.9 million American people suffer from co-occurring drug use disorders and mental health issues. Instead of looking at how denigrating messages are spread, Jensen (2018) examines how individuals with stigmatizing features manage their stigmatizing traits and how education and outreach initiatives might help lessen stigma. According to Jensen's research, stigmatized and non-stigmatized persons can co-manage stigmatizing features by creating a culture of personalized dignity together. For people with serious mental illness, Jensen's study analyzes how comedy is used to foster a culture of undignified dignity. A focus on respect as a bridging medium between stigmatized and non-stigmatized persons effectively reduces even the most complicated of stigmas.
On the other hand, people with significant mental illness (SMI) are often poor. According to Sylvestre, this is an issue that has to be addressed by community mental health systems and practitioners. Sylvestre considers three viewpoints on poverty: (a) monetary resources, (b) fundamental necessities, and (c) capacities. Each offers light on poverty among persons with SMI and their consequences for action. The author writes that mental health programs and systems are now incapable of addressing poverty because they focus on individual-level therapies that cannot lift individuals out of poverty on their own. According to the author, it's clear that the recovery model, which has guided community mental health treatment for over two decades, has to be supplemented with a social justice value informed by the notion of the citizenry. They found that homeless adults with mental illness from ethnic or racial groups use similar coping approaches and resources to the general homeless demographics in Toronto, Canada. The last article by Paul et al. (2018) used a qualitative model to test the personal perceived abilities, attitudes, and coping mechanisms of homeless adults of varied ethnocultural backgrounds.
How do these four articles support the nurse practice issue you chose?
Positive outcomes in mental health and homelessness control are dependent on the nursing care provided. Nursing care begins with the patient's first appointment, but it continues throughout the entire procedure. The failure of psychotherapy can...
