Summary
A new psychotherapeutic intervention model for nurses was developed to enhance professional autonomy and guide practice. This model, based on integrative psychotherapy principles, should address nursing diagnoses within 3-12 sessions.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Practice
- Psychotherapy
- Mental Health
Background:
- Nurses face challenges providing psychotherapy due to practice restrictions in some regions.
- A standardized psychotherapeutic intervention model is needed to guide nurses and increase professional autonomy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish the content validity of a psychotherapeutic intervention model specifically for nursing practice.
Main Methods:
- A modified e-Delphi technique was employed, involving three rounds of online questionnaires.
- Forty-two experts were invited, with at least twenty participating in each round.
- Data collection occurred between October 2015 and January 2016.
Main Results:
- Consensus was reached that nursing psychotherapeutic interventions must target a nursing diagnosis.
- The model should consist of 3 to 12 sessions, utilizing the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC).
- Experts agreed the model should incorporate integrative psychotherapy principles.
Conclusions:
- A consensus-based psychotherapeutic intervention model is crucial for guiding nurses.
- This model will standardize the provision of nursing psychotherapeutic interventions.
- It will facilitate the evaluation of health outcomes and improve nurse autonomy.
