    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Behavioral Health
    • Healthcare Competencies

    Background:

    • Nonpsychiatric nurses frequently care for patients with behavioral health (BH) conditions in hospitals.
    • Previous assessments of nurse BH care competencies provide a baseline for comparison.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate current behavioral health (BH) care competencies among hospital nurses.
    • To compare current BH care competencies with those reported 9 years prior.
    • To identify areas where nurse training and development are needed.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of nonpsychiatric hospital nurses regarding their perceived competencies in BH care.
    • Assessment of competence in areas including patient assessment, intervention, resource access, and psychotropic drug recommendation.
    • Comparison of current data with historical data from 9 years earlier.

    Main Results:

    • A slight change in BH care competencies was observed among hospital nurses compared to 9 years ago.
    • Nurses reported moderate to strong perceived competence in assessing and intervening with BH patients and accessing resources.
    • Nurses perceived lower competence in recommending psychotropic drugs for patients requiring them.

    Conclusions:

    • While nurses possess moderate BH care skills, specific areas like psychotropic drug recommendation require enhancement.
    • Targeted staff development programs are necessary to improve nurse competencies in managing patients with BH conditions.
    • Ongoing evaluation of BH care competencies is crucial for effective patient management in general hospital settings.
