    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This review challenges the historical view of anger as purely negative or the modern "ventilationist" approach. Research does not support the idea that freely expressing anger is always beneficial, and outdated theories can harm patient care.

    Main Results:

    • The ventilationist approach, suggesting anger expression is unequivocally good, lacks research support.
    • Global facilitation of anger can be detrimental.
    • Many prevailing assumptions about anger are challenged by current evidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Outdated or flawed theories on anger can negatively impact psychiatric/mental-health nursing practice.
    • Evidence does not support the universal benefits of anger expression.
    • A critical re-evaluation of anger theories is necessary for effective client care.
