Abstract
Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) play a key role in psychiatry, improving access to care, managing crises and preventing relapse. They intervene in post-emergency consultations, ensuring continuity of care, adjusting treatments and coordinating treatment paths with medical teams. Their contribution helps to reduce emergency room overcrowding and secure follow-up care. The deployment of IPAs requires legislative adjustments to maximize their impact and meet growing mental health needs.
期刊介绍:
La revue Soins Psychiatrie adresse a tous les acteurs du soin en santé mentale, soignants et partenaires sociaux quel que soit leur lieu de exercice : hospitalisation traditionnelle, secteur, foyer, HAD, domicile..., tissant ainsi un vaste réseau entre tous les lieux de soins et de santé mentale. Le interdisciplinarité est le maitre mot des équipes en psychiatrie, tant il est vrai que le soignant existe pas en tant que entité séparée. Ayant comme pole fédérateur le patient reconnu comme individu a part entière avec toute son histoire, la revue réunit, dans chaque numéro, les écrits de professionnels aux compétences variées. Les textes sont sélectionnés par un Comité de rédaction appuyé par des conseillers.
