coherence between theory and professional practice in the care of psychiatric patients, in an outpatient
and hospitalization area.
In accordance with the demands in the care of the mentally ill that have arisen in psychiatric and non-
psychiatric institutions, the aim is to provide detailed specific knowledge of therapeutics and nursing care
in the different psychiatric pathologies and mental health problems, their physical assessment as well as
the patient's care plans involving his or her own family.

1.2 Psychiatry Nursing Concept Investigate the historical background of Psychiatric nursing
Psychiatric nursing theory is built on the belief that each individual has
inherent value and that everyone has the potential to change and the
ability to become healthier and more self-sufficient.
First, people need to meet their own basic physical needs. Once this
happens, all human beings need to feel safe and loved and to feel that
they belong.

Since its founding in 1946 of the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health has been considered an integral part of
the general definition of health.
Advances in health sciences, particularly in neurosciences, allow us to better understand the relationship between the
components of the state of health, as well as to define anticipatory interventions for the disease. However, the
psychosocial component has not had equal presence in the policies of health institutions.
The better living conditions in most countries have led to a notable change in health and disease indicators, presenting
situations like ours, in which diseases resulting from backwardness coincide with those typical of an accelerated urbanization
process, such as chronic-degenerative diseases where neurological and psychiatric pathologies are located, many of them
associated with the epidemiological change that has been observed in recent years in countries with emerging economies,
such as Mexico.
Health problems have increased drastically in recent decades worldwide and our country is no exception. Data suggest
that mental problems are among the largest contributors to the global burden of disease and disability. Beyond the
impressive figures related to these pathologies, there is a large group of people who live in extremely difficult
conditions or circumstances that put them at risk of being affected by a mental disorder; For example, children and
adolescents with alterations in their development and education, abandoned older adults, working women, street
children, indigenous groups and ethnic groups, communities that leave their homes due to natural disasters or wars, or
to seek better living conditions and of course the population that lives in conditions of extreme poverty. To respond to
a challenge of this magnitude, it is necessary to invest in the psychosocial component of health to increase human
capital.

prevention of psychoactive substance use and the promotion of mental health, to brief, outpatient treatment
(outpatient consultation), prioritizing the early detection of people with greater vulnerability and experimental
consumers, to intervene with them and their families in a timely manner, in order to avoid the development of
abuse or dependence and improve the individual, family and social quality of life of the users.

Language and Speech: We must ensure that the patient understands us. You may have Aphasia (sensory or comprehension aphasia)
Memory: Memory for recent events, memory for remote events and false memories should be explored.
Attention: It is explored by observing the patient's ability to maintain a coherent conversation with the interviewer.
Thinking: the speed of thought must be evaluated, if it is too fast it is called tachypsychia and if it is too slow it is called bradypsychia.
Perception or Sensoperception: The most frequent are illusions, they consist of the impossibility of perceiving an object, but this disorder

of the global burden of disease can be attributed to these disorders. Stigma and
violations of the human rights of people suffering from these disorders exacerbate the
problem. Resources provided to address the enormous burden of mental disorders
have been unequally distributed and ineffectively used, resulting in a treatment gap of

Stages of the therapeutic relationship
There are four basic stages of the therapeutic relationship. The first is called the pre phase interaction,
as it happens before the nurse meets the patient. It is a stage of self-exploration for the nurse. For her to
be therapeutically effective, it is essential that she takes into account her own preconceptions,
prejudices and fears before interacting with the patient. The second phase of the therapeutic
relationship is the introductory or orientation phase. The objectives of this phase are to establish a
relationship of trust with frank communication and formulate a contract between patient and nurse, if
the contract is appropriate in the specific context. The contract defines roles, the purpose of the
relationship, the duration and details such as the frequency of meetings. The main task of this phase
remains the creation of trust, and the contract exists only to fulfill that objective. The third phase is the
work phase, in which most of the therapeutic work is done. The nurse and patient work to help the
patient see his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can be translated into mutually determined
goals. The final phase is termination, which occurs when the nurse and patient evaluate progress and
share their feelings and memories.
