Study Notes
Mental Health Nursing Study Guide
- Deinstitutionalism aims to reintegrate patients into society as independent and productive members, but not all patients can achieve this, and some still require hospitalization.
- Mental health is a fluctuating state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness, characterized by seven important characteristics such as being able to determine reality, possessing a healthy self-concept, and demonstrating creativity and productivity.
- Personality forms an enduring pattern of behavior and relating to oneself and others, influenced by heredity, birth order, environment, and the neurological system.
- Freud's three functional components of the mind include the id, the ego, and the superego, which operate at different levels of awareness - conscious, subconscious, and unconscious.
- Coping mechanisms are conscious responses to challenging events, while defense mechanisms are unconscious processes that relieve anxiety, with examples like denial, repression, and dissociation.
- Mental illness is a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome that affects a person's ability to cope effectively with daily stressors and impairs judgment or reality.
- Competency is a legal assessment of a person's ability to make reasonable judgments and decisions, and voluntary commitment occurs when a patient realizes they need help and signs themselves into a hospital.
- Involuntary commitment is initiated by someone other than the client, involves a formal petition, assessment by two physicians, and can result in emergency, short-term, or long-term hospitalization.
