Summary
Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (APPNs) effectively treat depression and improve client outcomes. Patients report high satisfaction with the care provided by APPNs in this pilot study.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatric Nursing
- Mental Health Care
- Clinical Outcomes Research
Background:
- Depression is a prevalent mental health condition requiring effective treatment strategies.
- The role of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (APPNs) in managing depression needs further evaluation.
- Client satisfaction is a crucial indicator of quality mental health care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of APPNs in improving clinical outcomes for depressed clients.
- To measure client satisfaction with care received from APPNs.
- To assess the impact of APPN-led interventions on depression management.
Main Methods:
- A longitudinal study design was employed.
- Repeated measures were used to track changes in clinical outcomes.
- Client satisfaction surveys were administered to assess their experience with APPN care.
Main Results:
- APPNs demonstrated high effectiveness in treating clients diagnosed with depression.
- Clients reported a significant level of satisfaction with the care provided by APPNs.
- The study indicates positive clinical outcomes associated with APPN interventions for depression.
Conclusions:
- Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses are effective providers for depression treatment.
- Client satisfaction is high, suggesting quality care delivery by APPNs.
- APPNs play a vital role in improving mental health outcomes for individuals with depression.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:29Planning Nursing Care II
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
