Article Abstract

Growing support for the role of the psychiatric consultation-liaison nurse in assisting general nurses in caring for patients experiencing mental health problems in the general hospital environment is evident from the relevant literature. However, there remains a paucity of research which examines the process of this nursing role or its impact on outcomes for nurses and patients. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature in articulating the role of the psychiatric consultation-liaison nurse using a case study approach to describe the role of the nurse in assessing the needs of, and, planning and providing care to two general hospital patients experiencing mental health problems, and the general nurses caring for them.
