dc.description.abstract | The family is regarded as a valued resource in the psychiatric care of mental
health care users to promote recovery. However, nurses working in psychiatric care have
varying attitudes about the importance of the family in the care of the mental health care
user. The purpose of this study was to describe nurses’ attitudes towards the family’s
importance in psychiatric care in a selected psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape Province. A quantitative descriptive survey study was conducted using a selfadministered
questionnaire which included the Family Importance in Nursing Care- Nurses’
Attitude (FINC-NA) scale. The setting was the biggest psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape
which employs approximately 488 mental health nurses in different wards. | en_US |
