“…It is also known that self-awareness helps nurses to cope effectively with the emotional pressure inevitable in a caring situation and leads to more satisfactory and higher-quality care service. 3,[21][22][23] With enhanced self-awareness, the type of reaction is enhanced in the various situations that nurses experience. 3) Theoretically, as a nurse it is not easy for an individual to realize his or her own feelings.…”

Purpose: This paper is a review of interventions designed to promote self-awareness in the nursing area. The specific purpose was to analyze the general characteristics of self-awareness intervention studies, intervention contents, and the effects of the studies in order to present basic information for developing self-awareness interventions in the nursing area. Methods: Using "nurse/nursing" and "self-awareness" as key words, the researchers searched six electronic databases. The method proposed by Whittemore and Knafl was used. Results: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. The most common research design was quasi-experimental. Nine quasi-experimental studies (52.9%), 7 qualitative studies (41.2%), and 1 mixed methodology study (5.9%) were analyzed. Most studies used group intervention and student nurses as participants. The interventions were revealed to be effective in enhancing participants' self-awareness. The reflection method was used in most intervention approaches. Conclusion: To provide therapeutic nursing care, having self-awareness is important. Future research with well-designed clinical trials applying self-awareness intervention needs to be conducted to enhance self-awareness in the nursing area.

“…Thus, if nurses have experienced colleagues to instruct or counsel them, they might have a more positive attitude towards residents' psychological care. Biley (2005) and Priest (2006) have indicated that learning from other experienced nurses during practice is important; however, junior nurses and students should differentiate between good and bad care models (Priest, 2012). Currently, most LTCFs do not have a preceptorship or mentorship programme in Taiwan; therefore, additional research to examine the effectiveness of a preceptorship or mentorship programme in LTCFs is required in the future.…”

Aims and objectives To explore nurses' perceptions regarding providing psychological health care for older residents in long‐term care facilities (LTCFs). Background Loneliness and depressive symptoms are commonly observed among older residents living in LTCFs. Nurses are expected to provide holistic care including physical, psychological and social care for older residents in LTCFs to fulfil their needs. Therefore, understanding nurses' feelings and thoughts regarding providing care for older residents who feel lonely, sad, unhappy or depressed is important for delivering better care. Design A qualitative research design was employed. The Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) was used to enhance for reporting quality. Methods Purposive sampling and snowball sampling were applied in Northern Taiwan. One‐to‐one in‐depth interviews were conducted using a semi‐structured interview guide. Twenty‐one nurses with a mean age of 38.4 years were interviewed. Content analysis was performed for data analysis. Findings Four themes were generated from the data: “insufficient psychological healthcare competency,” “having a willing heart but not adequate support,” “families playing an essential role in residents’ mood” and “physical‐oriented care model.” Conclusions Long‐term care facilitie nurses felt that they were not adequately prepared for taking care of older adults' psychological problems before their nursing career or during their practice. Unreasonable nurse‐to‐resident ratios and an absence of care consensus among healthcare providers can make nurses feel that they have a willing heart but not adequate support. Family members are essential in older residents' emotional status within the Taiwanese cultural context. Physical care evaluation indicators emphasised by LTCF accreditation resulted in the current care practice model. Implications for practice This study provides valuable information for LTCF nurses, managers and directors to develop appropriate strategies to assist nurses in providing better psychological health care for older residents. Evaluation indicators required by LTCF accreditation in Taiwan must be re‐examined at the earliest stage.

“…These competencies are more difficult to develop, yet increasing self‐awareness and the ability of the nurse to manage his or her own emotion helps to promote relationship‐centered care. It is essential to use these competencies to empower the client to learn, cope, or come to a resolution of the problem (Priest, 2006; Reynolds & Scott, 1999; Schofield et al., 2008;Wilson & Carryer, 2008).…”

“…The nurse must participate in a process to improve one's self‐awareness as it relates to the nurse–client interaction. This process involves ongoing evaluation by the nurse to have total awareness of the interaction and to prevent interference in the process of client growth and change (Moyle, 2003; Priest, 2006; Schofield, Green, & Creed, 2008).…”
