NURS 78400 - Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Care and Practice

This course analyzes concepts and theories from the humanities, sciences, and nursing science that underpin the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) role. The advanced nursing practice of the PMHNP draws heavily on knowledge from philosophy, psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and nursing. Theories such as human development, psychodynamic theory, cognitive, interpersonal, human needs, and health belief, the trans-theoretical model, and self-efficacy theory will be explored. Core concepts such as therapeutic relationship, transference and countertransference, and Peplau’s therapeutic nurse-client relationship will be introduced and applied to case studies.
