Research Notes on Nursing Care for Major Depression
The foundation of nursing care for major depression is accurate knowledge of the disorder, risk factors, and sound assessment procedures.1 All levels of depression warrant an individualized plan of nursing interventions.1 Approaches can include instituting safety precautions, monitoring medications, and promoting nutrition.1 Enhancing social supports, providing problem-solving assistance, and educating about the illness are other important nursing care interventions.1
Fast Facts:
- Short-term cognitive-behavioral training is a low-cost, effective nursing intervention.2
- In addition to providing for basic needs, best practice nursing promotes the highest level of patient independence.3
- Nursing care discharge goals include arrangements for follow-up care and community treatment.3
