Psychiatric Nursing Essentials

The document discusses principles of therapeutic communication in psychiatric nursing. It identifies several types of mental disorders that can affect perception, personality, mood, behavior, thoughts, logic, and cognition. It emphasizes that medications are a therapeutic tool, and the most important tool is active listening with empathy. It outlines non-verbal communication principles like maintaining eye contact and respecting personal space. Verbal communication should use empathy rather than sympathy and avoid self-disclosure. General leads, restating, seeking clarification, and translating statements into feelings can help patients communicate effectively.
