Welcome to Module 4! It is well known there is a strong push to deinstitutionalization those with mental health disorders. This means taking patients out of long-term psychiatric facilities to integrate them into the community where they can lead more fulfilling lives. In fact, there were over 500,000 state psychiatric beds in 1955 and only 38,000 in 2016. However, not all communities are adequately established with services to assist the mentally ill and unfortunately, they end up on homeless or behind bars. Nurses are often at the front line of assisting those with mental health disorders get diagnosed, the treatment, and support they need; this includes those dealing with trauma. This includes being a part of building community-based services for mental health care which provide the hope those with mentally illness and families are searching for. As nurses, it is important to be knowledgeable of mental health disorders including signs and symptoms, how mental health and physical health are related, and consider community efforts to support those with mental health disorders.
Mental illness in the community does not discriminate. It can impact women, men, young children, adolescents, the elderly, and any nationality. For this discussion, choose one population along with one mental health disorder and describe how the disorder impacts that population as they attempt to be part of the community. Finally, explain one nursing intervention that would assist them to be successful.
