Abstract

Due to a lack of the knowledge and skills required for nursing mentally ill people, professional nurses in general hospital settings tend to not apply appropriate techniques when dealing with mentally ill people.

Opsomming
Weens die gebrek aan kennis en vaardighede benodig vir die verpleging van geestesversteurde persone, hanteer professionele verpleegkundiges in algemene hospitale geestesversteurde persone sonder bogenoemde kennis en vaardighede.
