| Description | For many older people experiencing affective disorders such as depression, anxiety and psychosis, nurses are the health professionals they are most likely to have contact with. Whether a nurse working on an inpatient medical ward in a large acute hospital, a health promotion nurse or a community mental health nurse, most nurses will have a significant range of contact with older people and will need to have an understanding of the assessment, diagnosis and management of these conditions when experienced by older people. This chapter seeks to present an overview of common affective mental health problems experienced by older people, with guidance on appropriate nursing assessment and interventions, applicable to nurses working with older people in any setting. The second section of the chapter provides a more detailed approach to the development of a bio-psychosocial framework for the provision of nursing interventions in psychosis experienced by older people. Book Name: Practical Management of Affective Disorders in Older People |
