Abstract

Objective: Restrictive laws still impede nurse practitioners (NPs) from realizing the full scope of their training and education in too many states. While practice laws vary from state to state, working in states with restricted practice policies creates a multitude of barriers for patients seeking accessible, high-quality mental health care, especially in rural areas.

Methods: One psychiatric mental health NP describes the multiple obstacles she faced in attempting to provide much-needed care to the perinatal mental health community in her state.

Results: This review highlights evidence that supports full practice authority, showing improved patient access to high-quality care combined with anecdotal support describing the barriers faced by one clinician.

Conclusions: Her journey directly speaks to harsh realities imposed by collaborative physician mandates and the urgent need for nurse practitioner independent practice.

精神健康危机的未开发解决方案:NPs的独立实践。
目的:限制性法律仍然阻碍护士从业人员(NPs)实现他们的培训和教育在太多的国家的全部范围。虽然各州的执业法各不相同,但在执业政策受到限制的州工作,对寻求可获得的高质量精神卫生保健的患者造成了许多障碍,特别是在农村地区。方法:一位精神病心理健康NP描述了她在试图为她所在州的围产期心理健康社区提供急需的护理时面临的多重障碍。结果:本综述强调了支持充分实践权威的证据,显示了患者获得高质量护理的改善,并结合了描述一位临床医生面临的障碍的轶事支持。结论:她的经历直接说明了合作医师授权和护士执业独立实践的迫切需要所强加的严酷现实。
