Abstract

The following paper will describe the home health nursing program previously promoted and approved for implementation concerning mental health outpatient care. It was discussed that patients with mental disorders receive considerable benefits from home care supplemental to their treatment plan arranged and implemented by their physician or psychiatrist. In the previous proposal, patients diagnosed with major depressive episodes and those with schizophrenia were considered as the primary target groups in home care initiatives. As such, the project discussed specific treatment concerns associated with those mental disorders while conceding that other mental illnesses exist which home care could provide effective supplementary care. In this paper, a short summary will be provided describing the measures previously recommended before continuing to outline the specific implementation of the project.

Its goal is to effectively demonstrate core home nursing care concepts toward the supplemental treatment of mentally ill patients in the home setting. Mentally ill patients routinely suffer social stigma and prejudice associated with the diagnosis of their disorder. In the family and the community, mental disorders are still misunderstood and patients are susceptible to discrimination resulting from fear and ignorance by others.
