  • Peer Review of Therapeutic Nurse-Patient Relationship in the Acute Mental Healthcare Setting: A Database Search Experience

    CREATE RESPONSE TO DISCUSSION Question
    I am enrolled in the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program, and I was interested in finding a peer review on the Therapeutic Nurse-Patient Relationship in the Acute Mental Healthcare setting. I began my search by accessing the Walden University Library: Databases A-Z: Nursing link provided in this week’s module Required Reading section. From there, I navigated to the APA Psycinfo link, which brought me to the EBSCOhost search page. Using the “Select a Field” search bar, I entered “Peer-Review,” and in the “Keyword” bar, I entered “Psychiatric Nurse.” The search yielded four reviews, with only one delivering the content I was looking for, from The International Journal of Nursing Studies, “Conceptualising nurse-patient therapeutic engagement on acute mental health wards: An integrative review” (McAllister et al., 2019). The content was clear, concise, and relevant, with the only downfall being that it originated from the Netherlands.
    The database was easy to navigate and provided valuable information. The only issue I encountered was that my topic of interest didn’t return any results from the United States. Once I found the topic I was looking for, I explored random topics and found a wealth of results. This database will benefit me and my colleagues as we progress through our studies. The database allowed me to search for information from various sources, enabling me to access multiple materials; I would recommend this resource to my colleagues. “Research databases offer users access to thousands of books, magazine articles, images, charts, and primary sources. These databases contain scholarly and peer-reviewed articles written by credible authors, such as journalists, researchers, and experts in their field. Since databases provide powerful search tools for narrowing results, users are able to more quickly find the information they need” (EBSCO, n.d.).

    View a movie (or read a book if you prefer) of your choice that deals with human relationships. A list of ideas will be provided if you would like.
    Write a paper that is at least three and no more than five pages long.
    1. Briefly summarize the plot of the film. Just give me an idea of what it is about; don’t tell me the entire story, scene by scene. Do not cut and paste this section from a movie review web site or the back of the movie. That would be plagiarism, which would result in a zero on the assignment. (15points)

    3. Identify two (2) communication problems that occur between the characters. (30 points)
    Describe the problem and point out the applicable concepts that contribute to the problem (listening styles, misperception, self-concept, self-esteem, conflict approaches, nonverbal communication, language, emotions, etc.). Use any of the concepts identified in your textbook or assigned readings.
    Give specific examples from the film that illustrates the problems you have selected. Your examples will illustrate your understanding of the communication concepts.
    Describe how communication was used to solve or escalate the problems that you identified. In other words, how did the characters choose to deal with the problem and what was the result?
    4. Explain what you learned from analyzing the communication problems in this film. (30 points)
    Explain how the communication problems in the film are similar to problems you have faced in your own life.
    If this film made you aware of weaknesses in your own communication skills, explain what you can do to improve these skills.

    Use the 4 headings to format your paper:
    Summary,
    Character Description,
    Communication Problems,
    Lessons Learned.
    This paper must be typed and double spaced. Spell and grammar checkers catch many mistakes for you, but not everything. Take the time to proofread it.
    This needs to be your own work from your own thoughts. DO NOT USE ChatGPT or any other AI.
    Save paper as a PDF or Word format and submit to Blackboard. Be sure to have your name on the paper. A cover page is not necessary.
