Abstract
This study addresses a specific issue in the psychiatric and mental health residential nursing setting. The objective of the study was to address the problem identified based on evidence-based practice and literature showing that there are weaknesses and gaps within the population. In a psychiatric and mental health care setting, would more specific and extensive crisis intervention training for nurses provide improved job satisfaction for those nurses in a 6-week period? The population included to address the clinical practice problem and objective is registered nurses with all levels of experience in residential psychiatric and mental health nursing, ranging from new graduates to those considered expert nurses. The population was chosen based on the lack of specialty specific training in clinical practice experience as well as in the evidence shown in a literature review. Overall, current nurses working in this specific psychiatric and mental health organization were included and the study showed improvement in job satisfaction after being provided with crisis intervention training as the intervention.
