“…Clearly there is opportunity to study current day technology to ascertain best practice. Dilks (2020) implores APRNs to rapidly become knowledgeable in TMH to help people obtain the care they need in this time of crisis. This modality may offer a novel way to reach and form psychotherapeutic relationships with many different types of patients, and it may foster therapeutic intimacy in ways that in-person engagement cannot.…”

OBJECTIVE: This article will describe the current COVID-19 crisis and the evolving mental health concerns associated with it, discuss how mental health practice has changed, and ways in which psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can adapt and prepare for the future. METHOD: A search of current literature on the COVID-19 crisis, and topics relevant to the mental health components associated with the pandemic are reviewed. Telemental health (TMH) and PMHNP practice are discussed as they relate to the unfolding picture of the viral pandemic. RESULTS: The COVID-19 crisis is having far-reaching implications for mental health treatment and in particular for PMHNPs in practice settings. There have been widespread consequences of the containment measures used for the protection and mitigation of the disease. One such result has been the inability of patients to have face-to-face contact with their providers. The role of TMH has become increasingly important as an adaptation in professional practice. CONCLUSION: Technology has rapidly transformed traditional practice due to the COVID-19 crisis and there is strong evidence that it is well accepted by patients and providers. It is incumbent on PMHNPs to embrace TMH and become educated on best practices and TMH services.

“…With the congestion of wards, it was reported that the psychiatric institution has exceeded its carrying capacity and the number of patients is higher than the number of beds. This presents a huge challenge for psychiatric professionals because of the increased demand for resources at a time when they are scarce (Dilks, 2020), together with having more patients than can be managed (NIMHANS, 2020). This can also lead to psychological distress for psychiatric workers (Thobaity and Alshammari, 2020).…”

“…It is also a common occurrence that during pandemics, essential health services become tattered and resources become limited at a time when they are needed the most (Dilks, 2020). However, to reduce the collapse of mental health services, most psychiatric institutions around the world have put in place infection control measures (Druss, 2020;Goldman et al, 2020;Li, 2020;Li and Zhang, 2020;Poremski et al, 2020;Vieta et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020).…”

This qualitative study explores the factors affecting mental health services delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic at Ingutsheni Central Hospital. A descriptive phenomenological design was used. Data were collected from 16 participants using interview guides and were analysed through interpretative phenomenological analysis. Participants underlined several factors affecting mental health management and these were, inter alia, the congestion of wards and lack of resources. In riposte, they recommended several solutions towards curtailing these challenges. Based on the findings, the research then elucidates roles that psychiatric social workers can take towards improving mental health services delivery during the pandemic period.

“…Goodman (2020) provided a thoughtful discussion of the celebration of extraordinary work psychiatric nurses accomplished in context of the fear-provoking reality of the COVID 19 virus. Dilks (2020) reminded us that the pandemic occurring in the year the World Health Organization deemed the Year of the Nurse and Nurse Midwife marked the honor of the extraordinary contributions of psychiatric nurses. Yet, how has the mental health and resilience of the Psychiatric-Mental Health (PMH) nurse fared in these unparalleled times?…”
