Abstract:
No article has been found melding the phenomenon of nurses' tending instinct and men's mental health counseling access. This theoretical article presents nurses' tending instinct as a viable rationale to support men in utilizing mental health counseling services. Nurses can be the conduit that assists men in accessing mental health counseling when the need arises. An amalgamation of related topics, including nurses' tending instinct, men's illness/injury/disease profile, psychological medicine, and counselor skills, were forged together to unify this innovative theoretical consideration. Implications for nursing practice also were explored.
