Abstract
This paper is highly relevant to mental health nursing because it highlights the critical role of psychiatric and mental health nurses in addressing the intersection between homelessness, social exclusion, mental health crisis and substance-use problems. It emphasises that nurses are not only involved in crisis assessment and clinical care, but also in outreach, trauma-informed communication, continuity of medication, discharge planning, family engagement and coordination with community and social services. By proposing integrated, low-threshold and community-based crisis pathways in Indonesia, the paper strengthens the contribution of mental health nursing to equity, dignity, prevention and rights-based care for vulnerable populations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally.
All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
