Professor Gournay's commentary on the issues and roles in mental health nursing could equally have been titled: situation and process, skills and experience, genericism and specialism, clinical and eclectic, or proactive and preventive. His research review supports a viewpoint at the structured/tested end of this continuum, where he sees ready evidence that nurses now require clinically focused training and re-training if they are to provide care and treatment for patients with the most seriously disabling mental illnesses. This reinforces the Butterworth Report's conclusions, the Health of the Nation's expectations and the specifications in Building Bridges.

Background: Children and adolescents’ mental health nursing has not been positioned in the curriculum of nursing schools in Japan. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the prevalence of training of children and adolescents’ mental health nursing for nursing students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2013 in Japan. Faculties of pediatric and psychiatric nursing both reported on the educational contents and methods of children and adolescents’ mental health nursing by self-administered questionnaires. To compare prevalence of the training of children and adolescents’ mental health nursing between pediatric and psychiatric nursing, chi-square tests were carried out.Results: The participants in the study were 133 pediatric (39.8%) and 123 psychiatric nursing departments (36.8%). Over 80% of participants had instructed the following 4 educational contents: process of mental development, mental health issues surrounding children and adolescents, related laws and regulations, and classification and treatment for children and adolescents with mental illnesses. Whereas, less than 40% of them had instructed the other 3 contents: nursing care for children and adolescents with mental illnesses, support agency for children and adolescents, and family support. Pediatric nursing had significantly higher prevalence than psychiatric nursing among process of mental development, mental health issues surrounding children and adolescents, and related laws and regulations.Conclusions: Japanese nursing schools have dealt with basic knowledge of mental health with children and adolescents. It will be a challenge in the future to enhance training of practical nursing.

Case Based

In order to provide sound, person-centred care, mental health nursing students need a thorough understanding of theory alongside the ability to translate this knowledge into practice. It can be difficult to apply ideas from the classroom and books when learning how to work with mental health service users for the first time. That is why the theoretical aspects of this book are presented alongside realistic accounts of nursing practice. Fundamentals of Mental Health Nursing is a case-based and service user centred textbook for mental health nursing students. Designed to support students throughout their pre-registration studies, the text covers the essential knowledge required to provide high quality nursing care. Contributions from real service users and cases of fictional clients are explored in detail to provide excellent transferable skills for practice. Dedicated chapters explore fundamental nursing skills and mental health law before providing a case-based exploration of the areas and subjects that will be encountered by students in university and placement. Practice-based chapters introduce students to the needs of a diverse range of fictional clients and explain how the skills of communication, assessment, care planning and monitoring can be applied. Each chapter provides a sample care plan explaining why and how clinical decisions are made, so that students can develop their own skills and practice. The text opens with clear advice to help students succeed in their studies and concludes with a wealth of practical and thoughtful advice on becoming a professional and getting that first job. Online Resource Centre * Twenty one video clips of fictional service users demonstrate the application of theory and prepare students for real nursing practice * Quizzes, scenarios and a range of activities help students to apply their learning * Interactive glossary explains terminology and jargon * Sample CV's and self awareness exercises aid professional development
