This article suggests that the time is right for the coherent strategic development of mental health nurse prescribing in Scotland. This conclusion comes from the synthesis of current theory and practice, i.e. there is no coherent theory opposing mental health nurse prescribing and the necessary supportive infrastructure is now known. In order to situate this discussion, the article begins with an overview of some of the broader issues mental health nurse prescribing faces. It then examines in detail one of the more enduring arguments which continues to oppose the introduction of prescribing in mental health nursing: nurses should not prescribe because they should be doing something else. A critical analysis of this position concludes that this perspective is misguided. More practical questions remain, however, but the article concludes that there is now enough evidence to support effective strategic leadership in mental health nurse prescribing, and reiterates the requisite infrastructure.

Hildegard Peplau’s work formally began the development, basis and revolution of nursing knowledge for general nursing as well as for psychiatric mental health nursing. Her underlying philosophical assumptions and interpersonal relations theory not only emphasized the science of nursing that was empirically rooted and dominant from the time, but she illustrated how nursing as an art could equally contribute to the nursing knowledge, practice, and research that is so evident in nursing today. As a pioneer of nursing, Peplau helped to bridge the gap between theory and practice that continues to build on nursing’s knowledge base today. On the Canadian front, nurse leader, Cheryl Forchuk, continues to put it to the test.

This integrative review analyzed the research on consumer involvement in mental health nursing education in the last decade. We aimed to derive the main contents, methods, and outcomes of education using consumer involvement for mental health nursing students. We searched six electronic databases using English and Korean search terms; two authors independently reviewed the 14 studies that met the selection criteria. Studies on the topic were concentrated in Australia and some European countries; most of them used a qualitative design. The main education subject was recovery, and consumers tended to actively participate in education planning. Moreover, students’ perceptions about education using consumer involvement and people with mental health problems changed positively, as well as their experiences of participating in mental health nursing education. There is a lack of interest in the topic in Asian countries, including Korea. Thus, future studies in Asian countries are needed to conduct qualitative and in-depth explorations of students’ experiences regarding an educational intervention that uses consumer involvement as a tool rigorously designed for mental health nursing education. Consumer involvement can be an innovative strategy to produce high-quality mental health nurses by minimizing the gap between theory and practice in the undergraduate program.
