Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The shortage of inpatient psychiatric mental health care nurses in Saudi Arabia represents an important health care challenge.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to illuminate perspectives of psychiatric mental health nurses employed in psychiatric inpatient settings about their employment experiences.
UNASSIGNED: This study adopted an exploratory qualitative approach using thematic content analysis. Ten professional nurses with psychiatric inpatient caring experience participated in two focus groups composed of Master of Nursing students.
UNASSIGNED: Four main themes emerged: inadequate professional skills and knowledge for psychiatric mental health care practice, negative public attitudes toward psychiatric/mental health nurses, concerns for personal safety, and alternatives and advantages. The findings of this study suggest that nurses\' lack of interest in working in psychiatric units is not merely personal but also social and organizational.
UNASSIGNED: The study findings may encourage managers and authorities to develop measures to attract more mental health nurses to work in psychiatric units. Such strategies may include modification of nurses\' skills, training, and professional knowledge, collegial supervision, mentoring, and working conditions and environment.

摘要：
■沙特阿拉伯住院精神卫生保健护士的短缺是一个重要的卫生保健挑战。
■这项研究的目的是阐明在精神科住院环境中受雇的精神科心理健康护士对其就业经历的看法。
■本研究采用了使用主题内容分析的探索性定性方法。十名具有精神病住院护理经验的专业护士参加了由护理硕士学生组成的两个焦点小组。
■出现了四个主要主题：精神病精神保健实践的专业技能和知识不足，公众对精神病/心理健康护士的负面态度，对人身安全的担忧，和替代品和优势。这项研究的结果表明，护士对精神科工作缺乏兴趣不仅是个人的，也是社会和组织的。
■研究结果可能会鼓励管理者和当局制定措施，吸引更多的心理健康护士到精神科工作。这些策略可能包括修改护士的技能，培训,和专业知识，合议监督,指导,以及工作条件和环境。
