Background: Psychomotor agitation is increased psychomotor activity, restlessness and irritability. People with psychomotor agitation respond by overreacting to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli, experiencing stress and/or cognitive impairment. the aim was to analyse the association of nursing diagnoses with the disinhibition dimension, the aggressiveness dimension and the lability dimension of the Corrigan Agitated Behaviour Scale.
Methods: This study was conducted in Spain using a multicentre cross-sectional convenience sample of 140 patients who had been admitted to psychiatric hospital units and had presented an episode of psychomotor agitation between 2018 and 2021.
Results: The Corrigan Agitated Behaviour Scale was used to assess psychomotor agitation. Associated nursing diagnoses, violence directed at professionals and the environment are shown to be predictive values for the severity of the agitation episode. Moderate-severe psychomotor agitation episodes are shown as predictors of violence directed mainly at professionals and the environment.
Conclusions: There is an urgent need for mental health nurses to have knowledge of the extended clinic in order to care for users and improve their health conditions in dealing with people, with their social, subjective and biological dimension.

Background: Paliperidone is a second-generation antipsychotic and the main active metabolite of risperidone, formulated to provide consistent therapeutic effects through an extended-release system, designed to provide consistent therapeutic effects through an extended-release formulation. While commonly used in clinical practice, switching from risperidone to paliperidone, particularly during valproate therapy, can pose challenges due to potential pharmacokinetic interactions that may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Despite clinical observations suggesting these interactions, case reports documenting such adverse effects are scarce.
