“…Environment as an external entity was discovered as a supra-system that forms the surroundings of the human being with whom it interacts to impact on well-being. The perspectives of the nurses in the current study are consistent with other nurse theorists and researchers (Deliktas et al., 2019; Lindahl, 2018; Nightingale, 1946) who emphasised environmental physio-psycho-social characteristics that facilitate healing and mental well-being.…”

Background The Government’s aspiration to make Kenya a middle-income country and achieve the United Nations' sustainable development goal 3, ‘good health and well-being’, are threatened by poor quality of mental health services. Environment and lack of a conceptual model of nursing to guide care were some of the reasons that were attributed to poor quality of mental health services. The purpose of the study was to discover and describe an appropriate conceptual model of mental health nursing practice. This paper describes the environment which is one of the metaparadigms of a conceptual model grounded on data collected from Kenyan mental health nurses. Methods A grounded theory study was conducted with 33 mental health nurses selected by purposive, open and theoretical sampling procedures. The study sites were level 5 and 6 mental health facilities across the country. Data were collected over a period of 11 months through audio-recorded in-depth interviews and field notes. Analysis was performed using Straussian Grounded Theory steps of open, axial and selective coding processes aided by NVivo version 10. Dimensions and properties of environment metaparadigm grounded on nurses’ views were discovered. The study was conducted within the dictates of the institutional and national ethics and research review boards. Results Environment evolved as an intervening condition and a supra-system for mental health nursing. A homely environment emerged as a space with properties that nurture optimum mental health contrary to a hostile environment that precipitates mental disorders and prolongs recovery. Conclusion Grounded theory methodology was useful in discovering an environment metaparadigm as the context that influences mental health while nursing practice is the central phenomenon for optimum mental health. Nurses can ensure homely environments from diverse cultures and conduct comparative studies on the recovery of patients in the two environments.

“…ID:p0335 about nurses' early experiences contributing to eco-consciousness highlight opportunities for an expanded role in adopting ecological health as central to the discipline and practice of nursing. Our findings point to curricular approaches that will benefit from integrating ecological health, with a foregrounding of the metaparadigm of environment (Lindahl, 2018). Nursing does not exist outside of the environment, and this connection should be reestablished as primary in both nursing education and practice, with an emphasis on personal connection and early professional awareness and practice.…”

“…It gives them an opportunity to contribute to decision-making processes if they continuously echo the needs of the vulnerable in society with regards to ecohealth. Many ID:p0310 others saw this particular "fit" between the nursing mandate and broader environmental health promotion, with echoes in Fawcett's (1995) traditional nursing metaparadigm concepts of nursing, person, health, and environment (CNA, 2017;Lindahl, 2018), as well as recognizing emerging possibilities for contemporary nursing. Participants sought a deeper engagement from health care and educational institutions, and spoke about desiring ecological health education integrating concepts and practices into all aspects of curriculum as opposed to offering distinct ecohealth courses or elective learning opportunities.…”

Despite unprecedented global environmental changes with widespread health effects, and rapid advances in nursing knowledge and education, the concept of environment within the discipline remains restricted. Environmental health continues to be marginalized in nursing education and practice, with nurses struggling to get beyond the slogans to arrive at practical applications. Framed by ecohealth and radical ecopsychology theory (concerned with nature connection, individual wellness, and social/earth justice), this study employed an online survey (n = 40) with thematic content analysis. The study explored factors that influenced eco-consciousness, how it affected nursing work, and how it was integrated into practice The 40 participants from 3 Canadian provinces included 32 nurses employed in education and clinical practice and 8 student nurses. Three main themes emerged: awakening consciousness, challenges in the discipline and profession, and finding opportunities. In particular, the students expressed a need for early integration of environmental health teaching into curriculum. Results illustrate an ongoing knowledge–practice gap and highlight the frustration and dismay of nurses whose efforts remain marginalized. Motivations and opportunities for nurses to undertake an expanded role in adopting environmental health as central to the discipline and practice of nursing can and must be more intently harnessed. As curricular approaches are expanded, further inquiry is proposed into the role of both early experiences and nursing education to transform the response to the ecological crises of our times.
