Risk Assessment Categories
Risk categories together with the various factors under each should assist nursing staff and other practitioners in their assessment and management of risk within their daily clinical practice.

Risk assessment and risk management
For the purposes of a textbook, or training event, the concepts of risk assessment and risk management can be analysed separately. However, in reality they are closely inter-linked – risk cannot be effectively managed until it has been clearly identified and defined; and when a risk is identified we instantly respond with considerations of how […]

The scope of nursing assessment
We turn now to our vision for nursing assessment within this framework. We advocate the principle of holistic care and have presented a schema that we believe maps, in general terms, all that is the experience of being human. It follows that holistic nursing care, or assessment of the whole person, requires familiarity with, and […]

The scope of mental health nursing assessment
Increasing emphasis is placed on assessment of the ‘whole person’, by which different authors may mean different things.

The purpose of mental health nursing assessment
We have emphasized two assessment stages, the collection of information and the use of that information to infer the need for nursing or other health care interventions.

mental health nursing assessment
In its broadest sense assessment permeates all aspects of nursing care. It is not just a discrete activity that initiates the ‘nursing process’ or ‘problemsolving cycle’, leading to a plan of care, which is implemented and evaluated.

Principles of mental health care
The mental health user and survivor movement has grown substantially over the last decade. There are now hundreds of groups across the UK.

Most Common Mental Health Problems
Mental health problems do not affect all groups of people equally. Many factors are associated with mental health problems. It must however be remembered that association is not the same as causality. For example social isolation may both lead to mental health problems and be a psychological and social response to mental health problems. Epidemiological […]

Development of community mental health nursing
Closure of the large mental hospitals and their replacement by smaller units attached to local district hospitals, and the development of day hospitals and community-care facilities had a marked impact on the practice of mental health nursing from the 1960s. May and Moore (1963) describe the work of two (later four) nurses seconded from Warlingham […]
