The Impact of Patients and Student Mental Health Nurses Sharing Time Together in Forensic Units.

Student mental health nurses have greater patient contact than registered nurses, and this is appreciated by patients. This phenomenological study explored the impact of patients and student mental health nurses' time shared on forensic units for men carrying a personality disorder diagnosis. Phenomenology was the underpinning philosophy of this research.

Learning the subtle dance: The experience of therapists who deliver mentalisation-based therapy for borderline personality disorder.

Objectives: This study aimed to understand therapists' lived experiences of delivering mentalisation-based therapy (MBT), including their experiences of service user change.

Method: One-to-one semi-structured interviews or focus groups were conducted with 14 MBT therapists and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).

Results: Four superordinate themes were identified: (1) experiencing the challenges and complexities of being with service users during MBT; (2) being on a journey of discovery and change; (3) being an MBT therapist: a new way of working and developing a new therapeutic identity; and (4) being a therapist in the group: seeing it all come together.

An integrative review exploring the experiences of service users carrying a diagnosis of personality disorder and student mental health nurses and the time they share together.

Objectives: This integrative review provides a collective understanding of the experiences of student mental health nurses and service users carrying a diagnosis of personality disorder and the time they share together.

Design: Published studies about the time service users and students share together were systematically selected in order to integrate their findings in a thematic analysis.

Data Sources: Various databases were searched from 1984 until 2020.

The weirdness of having a bunch of other minds like yours in the room: The lived experiences of mentalization-based therapy for borderline personality disorder.

Objectives: Studies of lived experiences are important for improving treatment effectiveness, but most studies of mentalization-based therapy (MBT) are quantitative. This qualitative study aimed to better understand service users' lived experiences of MBT, including their experiences of change.

Design: This is a qualitative study that used one-to-one semi-structured interviews.

Absence of esophageal eosinophilia in a toddler with severe eosinophilic esophagitis.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a clinicopathologic disease characterised by esophageal dysfunction and eosinophil-predominant inflammation. Diagnosing EoE in children is particularly challenging as they tend to present with nonspecific symptoms and their mucosal specimens may have less than the threshold number of eosinophils. Reluctance to subject children to multiple endoscopic procedures and anesthesia often results in treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) first to evaluate clinical response.

"They're Really PD Today".

The therapeutic relationship is of particular importance when working with patients with antisocial personality disorder, but despite this, there is a paucity of literature exploring student nurses' perceptions of developing a therapeutic relationship with such patients. Hence, this qualitative study explored the perceptions of second-year mental health nursing students of developing a therapeutic relationship with this patient group. Student nurses from a University in the Northwest of England participated in two focus groups, to compare the perceptions of a group of student nurses who had experience in secure settings (forensic hospital) with those who had not.

A structured observation of the interaction between nurses and patients during the administration of medication in an acute mental health unit.

Aims: This aims of this study are to describe current practice in the administration of medication in an acute psychiatric unit and explore factors that influence nurses' decisions regarding the administration of medication during 'rounds'. Background.  Medication 'rounds' form part of the ward routine in many inpatient mental health settings.

Therapeutic relationship: developing a new understanding for nurses and care workers within an eating disorder unit.

The establishment of a positive therapeutic relationship has been widely acknowledged internationally as an intrinsic part of therapy and caring services, even healing and restorative in its own right. In this paper, current understandings of the therapeutic relationship are presented and reconsidered within the context of caring for patients with anorexia in hospital in the UK. The relevance of interpersonal processes and the expectations of care and recovery are re-evaluated and the question posed as to whether these principles can be wholly employed in this setting.

Stress and burnout in forensic mental health nursing: a literature review.

Forensic mental health nurses who work with patients who have severe and enduring mental health needs have been identified as at risk of suffering from occupational stress, and even developing burnout syndrome. Therefore, this article reviews the available literature on stress and burnout in inpatient forensic mental health nursing to identify the stressors and to highlight recommendations. From the review, the main stressors placed on forensic nurses are identified as interprofessional conflicts, workload, and lack of involvement in decision-making.
