Abstract
orking as psychiatric nurses in psychiatric mental health settings can be a rewarding yet challenging experience. During providing therapeutic interventions for patients with mental illness, psychiatric nurses must listen closely to their problems and life situations and be empathetic toward their losses, grief, anxiety or depression.
