Responding to a patient's psychological needs is central to nursing practice. The Psychological Medicine Inventory (PMI) assesses the level of interest, confidence, and perceived clinical abilities in addressing psychological aspects of patient care. The inventory was developed for use among physicians. This study examines the psychometric properties and factor structure of a modified version of the PMI among nurses (Psychological Medicine Inventory-Nurses [PMI-N]). One hundred and nine hospital nurses completed the PMI-N and a measure of emotional responsiveness. Consistent with the original inventory, factor analysis yielded a two-factor solution-psychological ability and psychological sensitivity. The PMI-N demonstrated a high percentage of explained variance (64.6%) and satisfactory Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients for the total inventory (.83) and for the two factors (.81 and .70, respectively). Furthermore, the item-to-total correlations were high (.48-.69), as were the inter-item correlations (.41-.65). Given these results, the PMI-N can be used with confidence among nurses. Further examination of the scale with larger and more representative samples is warranted.

There is much evidence demonstrating that psychosocial interventions in caregivers and oncological staff produce an improvement in their patients' quality of life. The aim of this explorative study was to evaluate the effect of a new approach in promoting more functional ways to face stressful situations in the constellation of people around patients: caregivers, physicians and nurses. Thirty-four subjects were divided into three groups: 10 caregivers, 11 physicians, and 13 nurses. A "Balint Group" method modified according to a mindfulness technique was used as the intervention. Three assessment tools were administered to the participants at baseline, during, and after completion of the study: the Response Evaluation Measure (REM-71), the Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P), and the Group Climate Questionnaire (GCQ). Mean values of defense mechanisms determined by the REM-71 were compared with those of the standard population. At baseline, we observed a prevalence of immature defenses in the three groups, with mean values above those in the standard population. After the psychological intervention, a tendency to normalization of the mean values was observed, indicating the development of more adaptive ways of using defense mechanisms and the effectiveness of the intervention. Group climate, assessed through the GCQ, showed an increase in the "Engagement" factor and a decline in the "Conflict" factor in all groups. This study suggests that group treatment focused on changing personal responses to stressful situations can induce more adaptive strategies enabling caregivers, hematologists, and nurses to help patients better and thereby improve their quality of life.

Background: When a loved one is admitted to intensive care it can be a traumatic experience for the patients’ relatives. Poor communication and lack of information from intensive care unit (ICU) staff members can have a negative impact on how relatives cope on an ICU and in the months following the experience. There is a need for interventions to improve these aspects and prepare relatives for what to expect on the ICU using a combination of written and verbal information. Aims To conduct two separate but overlapping qualitative studies. Study 1: To explore how patients’ relatives experience an ICU, their needs during this time, their knowledge and understanding regarding decision making for patients who lack capacity, and their psychological needs on ICU. Study 2: To develop and pilot an intervention for patients’ relatives on the Critical Care Units (CCUs) at King’s College Hospital (KCH), to help them cope with the experience. Method and Design: In study 1 data was obtained from ...

This chapter introduces the fi ve perspectives of psychology and offers their differing understanding of people and the way they think, feel and behave. It offers an exploration of how the perspectives may gain evidence for their theory and how psychological theory is put to use through different professions. These perspectives provide a basis for the further chapters, which explore different topics related to both nursing and psychology.

The disease may arise complex emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues, both for patients and for nurses, in which the multifaceted therapeutic approach is part of the nurse/therapist care as it is the essential pillar of nursing science. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the nurses' and patients' perceptions of nursing care provided and received in a Hospital. Methodology: The sample of this study consists of two hundred and ten (210) patients and one hundred and ninety-six (196) nurses. Two questionnaires were used to collect the data. The nurses were given a questionnaire tailored to what they developed in their survey Cossette et al., (2006), the patients were given the corresponding questionnaire with the same questions, adjusted in their perspective. The Questionnaire includes questions about the demographic characteristics of each sample and statements concerning the care, service, and tasks of the Nurses for patients. The statistical analysis was conducted with the program SPSS 20.0. Results: As evidenced by the replies given and the obtained results, nurses consider the care they provide is at a very satisfactory level. However, patients appear to be moderate in their views with the overall of nursing care satisfaction. Discussion: The analysis results appear differences between the nurse's perception of the care provided and the perceived patient satisfaction with this care. Patients appear moderately satisfied, considering that nurses meet the specifications to a large extent in the therapeutic process and the technical procedures of medical machines. Considering nurses need improvement in interaction, as shown by the answered of the satisfaction questions about the nurses and the services provided. These results are consistent with the relevant bibliography, researchers in the field have identified the need to improve personal contact, interaction, and communication between nurses and patients, as well as their contribution to perceived care. Conclusions: As the overall experience of care provided by nurses to the patient is a multifactorial process, it is imperative to consider all factors influencing patient satisfaction with the care provided. Proposals: More prominence needs to be presented on issues as nurses /patients communicate and enough information given to the patient and family as well as the updating educational and personal development of nurses.

This paper explores the ways in which nurses in acute care settings can address the emotional needs of their patients and uses psychoanalytical concepts to provide a level of explanation. It is acknowledged that dealing with the emotional needs of patients is a key function of the nurse's role; however, there is much in the literature, particularly that from a psychoanalytical perspective, that would suggest that, in practice, defences are often used as a way of avoiding involvement with patient. This qualitative study used observational techniques as a means of collecting data from two settings in a large teaching hospital, one an acute surgical ward and the second setting was award specializing in haematological conditions. In the two settings, nurse-patient interactions differed. In the haematological ward, the emotional needs were acknowledged and addressed, whereas in the acute surgical ward institutional defences predominated, which prevented close patient involvement. The emotional needs were often passed onto the medical staff or nurse specialists, which could prevent nurses developing the requisite skills. Certain important conclusions were elicited from the data. As with any qualitative analysis, this was in keeping with a particular research framework and another framework, or indeed another researcher may have drawn different conclusions. The main conclusions drawn were the following: the nurses working in the haematological setting had developed many of the skills necessary to deal with patients' emotional needs. In the surgical setting, the organizational system did not allow the nurses to engage sufficiently to build and develop these particular skills.
