Abstract

In the decade of the '90s, psychiatric mental health nursing will need to take stock of itself--its practice, its education, and its research--if it is to successfully prepare for the changes in care of the mentally ill. Like psychiatrists, we will need to rethink our agendas in light of new science and technology and rationalize the mental health delivery system and our role in it through systematic research and advocate for a system that provides quality care for the chronically ill and the poor. In the next century, we will need to rethink the basics of nursing care and the leadership roles of nurses as hospitals and the doctor's role within them changes. Psychiatric mental health nurses will need to be at the forefront in advocating for a delivery system that listens to patients and families, that humanizes the dehumanizing experience of hospitalization. The challenges before us are formidable.
