Abstract：
The aim of this study was to explore psychiatric nurse\'s experiences of caring for people with auditory hallucinations in an acute unit. A qualitative study was conducted using thematic analysis. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 18 acute unit nurses all of whom provided interventions to patients with auditory hallucinations. Overall, participants identified their role in the management of risk within an acute unit, the importance of their therapeutic role and a perceived over-reliance on medication administration as a primary nursing intervention. These findings thus demonstrate the personal and professional conflict that nurses face when working in an acute unit with patients who experience auditory hallucinations. Nurses are in a prime position to provide effective interventions and assistance for people with auditory hallucinations in an acute unit. The findings of this study indicate that mental health nurses may require additional support and education to provide care in a truly recovery-based manner, with training in specific interventions and engagement skills for people who hear voices. Due to an unpredictable environment and sometimes high-risk workplace, nurses may also benefit from organisational assistance in this area.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是探索精神科护士在急性单元中照顾幻听患者的经验。使用主题分析进行了定性研究。该研究涉及对18名急性单元护士的半结构化访谈，所有这些护士都为幻听患者提供了干预措施。总的来说,参与者确定了他们在急性单位风险管理中的作用，他们的治疗作用的重要性和对药物管理作为主要护理干预的过度依赖。因此，这些发现证明了护士在急性病房与经历幻听的患者一起工作时面临的个人和职业冲突。护士处于首要位置，可以为急性单元中的幻听患者提供有效的干预和帮助。这项研究的结果表明，心理健康护士可能需要额外的支持和教育，以真正基于康复的方式提供护理，为听到声音的人提供具体干预和参与技能的培训。由于不可预测的环境和有时高风险的工作场所，护士也可以从这一领域的组织援助中受益。
