Abstract：
Nurses are at high risk of burnout and subsequent mental health concerns due to problems with overstaffing, immense workload volume, and personal health risks associated with the job. Effective mental health treatments are available but potential barriers to receiving care may prevent nurses from benefiting. The Emotional Health and Well-Being Clinic (EHWC) at Houston Methodist is an outpatient mental health clinic offering therapy and medication management services for employees and employee dependents of our institution. The EHWC is uniquely positioned to observe how nurses utilize mental health services and to address barriers to effective care for this vital group of healthcare professionals. This paper provides descriptive data on the utilization of mental health services by nurses in the EHWC and a discussion of possible challenges faced by this group when seeking care. Based on these data, we propose potential solutions to ensure that nurses can achieve maximum benefit from outpatient mental health services.
摘要：
由于人员过多的问题，护士有很高的职业倦怠和随后的心理健康问题的风险，巨大的工作量，以及与工作相关的个人健康风险。有效的心理健康治疗是可用的，但接受护理的潜在障碍可能会阻止护士受益。休斯顿卫理公会的情绪健康和福祉诊所（EHWC）是一家门诊心理健康诊所，为我们机构的员工和员工家属提供治疗和药物管理服务。EHWC具有独特的优势，可以观察护士如何利用心理健康服务，并为这一重要的医疗保健专业人员群体解决有效护理的障碍。本文提供了有关EHWC护士利用精神卫生服务的描述性数据，并讨论了该群体在寻求护理时可能面临的挑战。基于这些数据,我们提出潜在的解决方案，以确保护士能够从门诊精神卫生服务中获得最大利益。
