[Profiles and Characteristics of Mental Health Nurses in Community-Based Health Care for People with Mental Illness - Integrative Review and Thematic Framework Analysis].

Objective: To examine the specific scope of practice of community mental health nurses (CMHNs) across CMHN roles and care contexts.

Methods: Systematic literature searches in CINAHL, PubMed/Medline, Google and Google Scholar, supplemented by a search of various publishers' databases. Data were analyzed and synthesized using the framework analysis method.

[Psychosocial Care Demands and Possible Implications for the Role of Mental Health Nursing - Development of an Exemplary Future Scenario].

This study focuses on the development of a possible future scenario for mental health nursing in Germany. Based on the identified trends in mental health care, important implications for the design of future-oriented mental health nursing were identified and discussed. The developed model describes a type of mental health nursing that takes place on an "extended" or "advanced" level, close to the community and in a multi-professional setting in the living environment of the affected persons and their relatives.

Tasks and activities of Advanced Practice Nurses in the psychiatric and mental health care context: A systematic review and thematic analysis.

Background: To adequately describe the advanced psychiatric nursing roles and to distinguish them from the other roles of psychiatric and general nursing care, it is necessary to explore the concrete tasks and activities and the scope of practice of Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Nurses (APN).

Objective: to extract, summarize and systematize the tasks and activities of the Psychiatric Mental Health APN from the international scientific literature.

Design: systematic literature review reported following the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) statement and checklist.

[Advanced Nursing Practice in the Psychiatric and Mental Health Context - Overview and Comparison of the Different Advanced Psychiatric Nursing Roles].

Objectives: Informative and insightful overview of the concept of Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) and its specific facets with a focus on the psychiatric and mental health care context.

Methods: Systematic literature search in specific electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Google and GoogleScholar) and synthesis of identified sources based on Mayring's structuring content analysis.

Results: In the psychiatric and mental health context, the Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nurse Practitioner are the classic roles of Advanced Nursing Practice.

[Track treatment in psychiatry: the CIMH track model to overcome sector boundaries].

The overall conditions for the treatment of patients with psychiatric disorders have changed and place new demands on therapy concepts and procedures. This concerns both the legal conditions of the treatment as well as the content and economic conditions for a patient-oriented diagnostic work-up and therapy. The Central Institute for Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim is currently implementing a track concept that takes these changes into account and aims to overcome sectoral boundaries in favor of treatment continuity.

[Tasks and Activities of Nurses in Inpatient General Psychiatry - Results of a Delphi-Study].

Objectives: To find a consensus of tasks and activities of nursing in inpatient general psychiatry.

Methods: Delphi survey for consensus finding with n = 235 (round 1) and n = 193 (round 2) experts of psychiatric nursing.

Results: Overall, a consensus based on expert opinion regarding the tasks and activities of nursing in inpatient general psychiatry, consisting of 79 items, was generated.

[Nursing management of sensory overload in psychiatry – Theoretical densification and modification of the framework model].

Background: Within the scope of the research project on the subjects of sensory overload and stimulus regulation, a theoretical framework model of the nursing care of patients with sensory overload in psychiatry was developed. In a second step, this theoretical model should now be theoretically compressed and, if necessary, modified. Aim: Empirical verification as well as modification, enhancement and theoretical densification of the framework model of nursing care of patients with sensory overload in psychiatry.

Sensory overload: A concept analysis.

In the context of mental disorders sensory overload is a widely described phenomenon used in conjunction with psychiatric interventions such as removal from stimuli. However, the theoretical foundation of sensory overload as addressed in the literature can be described as insufficient and fragmentary. To date, the concept of sensory overload has not yet been sufficiently specified or analyzed.

[Possible Signs of Sensory Overload].

To identify, synthesize and structure the defining characteristics of overstimulation. The literature search was conducted in relevant international databases (Pubmed, Medline, CINAHL, Psyndex, PsycArticles, PsychINFO). The literature analysis was conducted according to Mayring's method of qualitative content analysis.

[Nursing management of sensory overload in psychiatry – development of a theoretical framework model].

Background: The concept of “removal from stimuli” has already been examined by a Delphi-Study. However, some knowledge gaps remained open, which have now been further investigated. Aim: Examination of the concept “management of sensory overload in inpatient psychiatry” including its sub-concepts and specific measures.

[The Perception of "Reizabschirmung" (Removal from Stimuli) in Inpatient Psychiatry].

Objective: The aim of the study was to narrow down the topic area and to generate a heuristic understanding of "Reizabschirmung" (removal from stimuli) in the German-speaking countries based on clinical expertise.

Methods: The Delphi-Method of consensus building within an expert panel was selected.

Results: The consensus found on some aspects lead to a reduction of the scope of the topic and a first approximation towards a conceptual definition of "Reizabschirmung" was generated.
