“…Inpatient psychiatric nurses, as part of an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, typically have the most direct contact with patients and are tasked with monitoring patients' progress in treatment, dosing medications, coordinating care with doctors and social workers, and in some contexts facilitating psychoeducational group treatment with patients. A position statement from the American Association of Psychiatric Nursing (APNA) [1] supported by a recent systematic review of the literature examining person-centered care in psychiatric nursing [2] outlines that these nurses are expected to pro-vide recovery-oriented relationship-based patient care. The relationship between psychiatric nurses and patients has been characterized as highly interpersonal and dependent on trust and as such may require significant emotional labor.…”

Psychiatric nurses in inpatient settings provide person-centered and relationship-based care to persons in acute distress from behavioral health and substance use problems. The emotional labor of this highly interpersonal care is further complicated by the high rates of historical trauma among this population. This article summarizes the impact of trauma on patients in acute psychiatric settings, the impact of challenging organizational contexts and patient distress on nurse burnout, and proposes four strategies for promoting trauma-informed care by inpatient psychiatric nurses including a) promoting education of nurses on the impacts of trauma, b) building support among nurse colleagues, c) emphasizing clinical skills in coping with patient distress, and d) implementing mindfulness skills as a core coping strategy for nurses for managing their reactions to patient distress. Trauma-inforced care holds patient safety as primary to clinical effectiveness and is also crucial for promoting supportive patient-nurse relationships. As such, trauma-informed care has the potential to combat nurse burnout and improve outcomes for patients.

Nurse staffing on inpatient psychiatric units was examined using data from a national sample of 409 hospitals. Hospitals' nonpsychiatric unit staffing predicted psychiatric unit staffing, accounting for 15.2% and 6.8% of variability in licensed and unlicensed staffing, respectively. Licensed and unlicensed staffing on psychiatric units were inversely related. Of the non-California hospitals in the study, 70% had annual levels of psychiatric unit staffing exceeding California's mandated 1:6 licensed staffing ratio.
