SynopsisCase register data are used to describe the age and diagnostic distribution of people using the community psychiatric nursing (CPN) service in Salford. Data are related to those in hospital-based psychiatric services. Annual prevalence rates grew dramatically, and increasing numbers of people were found to have received continuous CPN care for 2 years and over. Following the establishment of the CPN service in a primary care setting, the proportion of patients suffering from depression in receipt of CPN care increased, and the resulting overall diagnostic distribution of CPN patients became similar to that of the specialist psychiatric services as a whole. Patients under the sole care of community psychiatric nurses (about 19 % of the total CPN prevalence each calendar year) contributed to an overall increase in treated prevalence. The data indicate that CPN services in Salford are treating the morbidity found at primary care level, rather than reducing the demands made on the traditional services.

Nursing Services

Over the past three decades there has been a shift in emphasis from hospital based to community care of psychiatric patients. Central to this change has been the development of the community psychiatric nursing services and an increase in its numbers. Until recently community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) were almost entirely hospital based, working as members of a multidisciplinary team and providing follow-up for psychiatric patients.

There has been a steady growth in the number of community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) working in this country over the last few years. Despite this there are still relatively few community child psychiatric nurses (CCPNs) and those that there are often work in relative isolation. It is difficult to find any articles concerning community child psychiatric nursing, either anecdotal accounts of individual practice or evaluations of a particular service.

A workshop organised by the Research Committee of the College took place on 20 November 1989, in which 14 invited delegates from nursing, psychiatry and general practice presented and discussed the implications of recent research developments in community psychiatric nursing. Papers were given by Helen Hally, Chairman of the Community Psychiatric Nurses Association, on recent developments in the workload of community psychiatric nurses. Dr Joseph Connolly presented the preliminary findings of the ‘Daily Living Project’ at the Maudsley Hospital in which comprehensive community care is given primarily by community psychiatric nurses. Professor Brandon outlined some of the difficulties in obtaining data on the working practices of community psychiatric nurses arising from a study in Leicester and this was followed by an account by Dr Alastair Wright, a general practitioner in Glenrothes, Fife, of the typical psychiatric workload of a general practitioner and the ways in which community psychiatric nurses may be of value in treating this without the necessity of referral to psychiatric care.

Nursing Care Systematization (NCS) is an organized and systematized process that concerns nursing professionals who provide quality assistance, being a mandatory tool in all health centers. Despite this factor, there is a visible resistance from nursing to the operationalization of a systematized care. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the applicability of nursing care systematization and the knowledge that primary care nurses have of this process. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with quanti-qualitative approach, conducted with nurses working in primary care teams from a regional health zone in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Out of the 44 participant nurses, only 20.5% claimed to take all steps in the nursing process during their care practice, and 43.2% do not know about the Resolution of the Federal Nursing Council that addresses NCS application. This low NCS applicability is worrisome, since it is related to the quality, resolution and security of care provision. The applicability of the systematization within the assessed teams is quite fragmented and small; besides, their NCS knowledge is insufficient considering that this is such a relevant tool to a nurse’s professional practice. It is possible to notice numerous fragilities and difficulties in the application of NCS to primary care, with highlight to time availability, overworked nurses, and need for training.
