本研究旨在探讨精神卫生护理人员在照护有自杀倾向的住院病人时，对自杀行为/自我伤害的认知、回应及情绪挑战的处理经验。采用系统文本压缩法对8名精神科护士的访谈资料进行分析。参与者报告说，他们对病人的自杀暗示保持警觉，减轻了心理痛苦，激发了希望。自杀行为会引发各种情绪。心理健康护士似乎调节自己的情绪和情感表达，并平衡参与和距离，以提供良好的照顾病人和自己。心理健康护士有一个重要的作用，应该得到足够的正式支持。(C)2016作者爱思唯尔公司出版
The purpose of the study is to investigate mental health nurses' experiences of recognizing and responding to suicidal behavior/self-harm and dealing with the emotional challenges in the care of potentially suicidal inpatients. Interview data of eight mental health nurses were analyzed by systematic text condensation. The participants reported alertness to patients' suicidal cues, relieving psychological pain and inspiring hope. Various emotions are evoked by suicidal behavior. Mental health nurses seem to regulate their emotions and emotional expressions, and balance involvement and distance to provide good care of patients and themselves. Mental health nurses have an important role and should receive sufficient formal support. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
