Mental Health Care: A Collaborative, Holistic Approach

Holistic health care practices can be applied successfully to mental health case management. By including patients and their families in care decision making and maintenance, medical professionals and staff can increase collaboration, enhancing treatment and outcomes.

Responses to caregiving: a reconceptualization using the Roy adaptation model

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that four aspects of caregivers' health can potentially be compromised during long-term care of seriously ill family members. These four aspects are the caregivers' physical and mental health and relationships with support systems and the greater society. Nurses can be instrumental in identifying stresses in these four areas and suggesting appropriate intervention.
