{"title":"The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Care","authors":"Ceylon Dell","doi":"10.1111/jpm.13119","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jpm.13119","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly integrated into various aspects of healthcare, including diagnostics, care planning and patient management. In psychiatric healthcare specifically, conversational AI is seen as a potential solution to support psychiatric nurses in the assessment of psychiatric illnesses (Rebelo, Verboom, and Santos <span>2023</span>). However, it is important that the oversight of a psychiatric nurse is needed when integrating conversational AI into psychiatric care. This editorial explores the risk of using conversational AI for psychiatric assessments and emphasises the need for human intervention in AI-driven processes.</p><p>In community mental health settings, psychiatric nurses play a crucial role in managing a wide range of conditions. The increasing demand for care, driven by factors such as heightened public awareness and reduction of stigmatisation for psychiatric illnesses, has led to longer waiting times for services (British Medical Association <span>2024</span>). Conversational AI systems have been proposed to alleviate this pressure by streamlining the psychiatric assessment process (Rollwage et al. <span>2024</span>). One of the key benefits of AI is its potential to triage and prioritise those with the most urgent needs, thereby ensuring that critical cases are addressed promptly (Lu et al. <span>2023</span>).</p><p>Psychiatric assessments require a deep understanding of the patient's presentation, psychiatric symptoms and the context of patient behaviour. Conversational AI systems are based on language learning models (LLM) and analyse data they have been trained on previously, which is mainly in written format and often derived from patients' electronic health records initially, advises Yang et al. (<span>2022</span>). Electronic health records contain all patient notes relevant to the episode of care the patient is receiving. It can include quantitative data sets such as diagnoses, charts, patient demographics and patient-led questionnaires based on symptomology or more nuanced qualitative data sets, such as psychiatric nursing observations of patient behaviour and caregiver views (Goldstein et al. <span>2022</span>). These data points help to construct a picture of a patient's presentation as part of an assessment before a patient is spoken to. Indeed, the psychiatric nurse will often review referrals, previous history and information to gain some knowledge of the patient before assessing the needs for that episode of care. However, an AI could face significant challenges in interpreting patient information with the depth and nuance that a psychiatric nurse could, suggests Elyoseph, Levkovich, and Shinan-Altman (<span>2024</span>), potentially resulting in inaccuracies in assessment, which can lead to inaccurate severity assessment and poor treatment outcomes.</p><p>The notion of bias in AI systems is a significant issue in psychiatric care, particularly because these biases often originate fro","PeriodicalId":50076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing","volume":"32 2","pages":"382-383"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpm.13119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142331405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, mental health nurses can aid in ameliorating mental distress by supporting parents in understanding and managing CU traits and CP. Nurses can provide targeted educational programmes that empower parents with strategies to reinforce positive parenting practices and reduce negative interactions. Furthermore, nurses can facilitate access to community resources and therapy options, helping families build a supportive environment conducive to the mental well-being of the youth. These interventions are crucial not only for the direct treatment of juveniles but also in providing holistic support to their families, thereby enhancing the overall efficacy of mental health care in juvenile delinquency.</p>\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":50076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing","volume":"32 2","pages":"297-309"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
