The need for mental health nurses to promote sexual health

This article focuses on the need for mental health nurses to promote sexual health. As a mental health nurse I have observed that during practice, nurses are encountering problems dealing with sexual health issues in mental health. Clients have experienced sexual health needs that nurses failed to meet and many nurses have experienced that they are out of depth.
Lomas (2009) carried out a survey with at least 283 mental health professionals of which half of them were nurses. Evidence from the research showed that even though 80% of the participants were in support of the idea that sexual health promotion was a vital part of their role, only 30%, representing less than half the participants regularly discussed sexual health with mental health patients, (Lomas 2009). A revelation also made by Lomas (2009), survey suggested that 92% of respondents had no clue that people with schizophrenia were at an increased risk of contracting HIV than the general population, 72% were not even convinced that they were more likely to engage in high-risk sexual behaviour. From the participants, 14% felt uncomfortable discussing sexual health issues with mental health patients, gay and lesbian issues was a very uncomfortable topic for 13% of them. This queries whether mental health nurses are well equipped to promote sexual health, (Lomas 2009),
Through this, mental health nurses must learn to appreciate the clause from the National Midwifery Council (2004) stating that health care professionals are expected to continuously update knowledge and skills throughout our working life and regularly take part in learning activities that develop our competence and performance. In support to this, Higgins et al (2006)suggested that individuals with `severe’ mental health problems will most likely end up engaging in high-risk sexual activities creating the susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections. In Higgins et al (2006)literature review from 1980 to 2005 focusing on sexual health education and sexual dysfunction emanating from prescribed medication, it was confirmed that sexual health education programmes were beneficial. Education proved to produce a reduction in sexual risk activities compared to complete cessation. This undoubtedly highlights the issue that mental health professionals should make an effort to deliver holistic care that includes sexual health promotion (Higgins et al 2006)
In a similar study conducted but this time it included Glove-wearing Hughes and Gray (2009) states that only 61% of the participants reported wearing gloves whilst administering an injection. Hughes and Gray (2009) continue to say that the nurses are also risking infection by not wearing gloves.
Bahrick and Harris (2009) emphasises that antidepressants are a popular cause for sexual dysfunction. This suggests that reassurance and advice from nurses becomes a necessity. Having an understanding of sexual health would make it easier for nurses to offer appropriate advice because sometimes this becomes debilitating for the mental health clients and therefore requires intervention Bahrick and Harris (2009). Hughes and Gray (2009) mentioned that the lack of awareness and knowledge of sexual health does not only leave the clients disadvantaged by not having reasonable access to sexual health services or relevant information on sexual health. Hughes and Gray (2009) goes on to say that by this level of lack of knowledge, the mental health nurses continue to place themselves at risk.
In a study conducted by Cochran and Mays (2000), evidence was transparent that there was an escalated risk of suicide symptoms among homosexually experienced men. Cochran and Mays (2000), further explains that some gay men also reported the risk of recurrent depression as slightly increased. This again makes it a necessity for mental health nurses to be aware and well equipped w ith sexual health knowledge in order to be able to holistically assist their clients in a non judgmental manner. (Cochran and Mays 2000)
Interestingly MIND (2008) highlighted another good reason for mental health nurses to be aware of sexual health issues. MIND (2008) explained that the distress experienced by some lesbians, gay men as well as bisexual’s mental distress is not due to their sexuality instead it is seen as the impact of heterosexism and homophobia, MIND (2008). As a result of this, many lesbians, gay men as well as bisexual’s find it a daunting task for fear of being seen as abnormal as well as not being understood. MIND (2008) confirms that there is evidence that these concerns or worries are not baseless as homosexuality used to be seen as a psychiatric diagnosis in 1993. Although nowadays there is an improvement in the awareness in the mental health field, it would be more beneficial for mental health nurses to be well equipped to deliver sexual health to clients with serious mental health problems (Mind 2008)
Implications for practice
This exercise has made it possible to identify gaps in service provision. From my own experience, I have witnessed situations were mental health clients bring contraceptive pills on the ward and the nurses role is to administer them. This questions whether these clients suffering from severe mental illness are aware of other sexual health issues other than pregnancy. In support to this, The Royal College of Nursing (2001) has highlighted that contraception alongside teenage pregnancies and sexual infections are some of the significant issues that have a great impact on health care practice. The Royal College of Nursing (2001) has highlighted that “sexual health is about the holistic care of patients and clients”, it was also brought to attention that Clinical practice, Clinical education practice and Clinical policy development are essential in ensuring holistic care in sexual health. This has proved that evidence based practice is essential in delivering successful holistic care. This includes sexual health for mental health patients facilitated by mental health nurses. In support to this, Dawes et al (2005) emphasises that evidence based-practice ensures that individual health professionals practice based on sound research and successful outcome. Every registered nurse needs to consider the evidence-based for practice in a multitude of areas as this is a requirement of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC 2004).
Having a good knowledge base on sexual health promotion will not only help to educate mental health clients on sexual health but when health promotion is carried out by mental health nurses, it could become cost effective. This will also be supporting the Government in fulfilling its pledge in the NHS Plan to make progress in the amelioration of ill health. The Royal College of Nursing (2001).
Through undertaking a literature review, this has also provided guidance that will enable us as mental health nurses to be keen on development and evaluation of sexual health education programmes that will be beneficial for our service users. However, this also enlightens us to the fact that mental health nurses need to prioritise sexual health training and practice development or make an effort to make it part of their personal development plan in order to bridge the theory and practice gap. It should also be noted that they are also some hindrances. It is obviously a rather daunting task after considering the financial issues faced by the government as a result of the recession. The Royal College of Nursing (2001) has highlighted that a lack of interest to develop knowledge in sexual health has been one of the hindrances. On the other hand, another advantage brought about by continuing professional development is that resources are utilised more effectively. This is confirmed by the Chartered Institute of Professional Development (CIPD 2010), continuing professional development makes staff become more productive and work with efficiency by focusing on their own learning through reflection, (CIPD 2010).
The health care delivery system is plagued by lack of resources. Updating knowledge and skills ensures that the best use of these resources is put into practice. A continuing professional development allows the individual to work out what area of practice requires development in this case sexual health promotion by mental health nurses, This will be made possible through highlighting gaps in their knowledge and experience.therefore giving the individual a chance to compare what knowledge and skills they possess, and what is expected at their level of professional practice, (CIPD 2010).
Sexual health skills are required or desirable to meet the demands of the promotion of sexual health. It also serves as a way of improving one’s competences to ensure satisfactory performance during sexual health promotion. Enhancing knowledge and skills for mental health nurses allows the individual to engage in evidence based practice. Simpson and Dodds (2004). This promotes conventionality minimising ambiguity and rendering information shared between health professionals and clients. Improving teamwork this way reflects a climate that best supports a therapeutic environment (Simpson and Dodds, 2004). Another vital point to make is that this form of practice could be useful to bridge the theory – practice gap as research evidence have proved that mental health nurses certainly need to be better equipped to promote sexual health. Hughes and Gray (2009) argue that it is essential for policies to improve in order to extend on the achievements of the National Service Framework for Mental Health. The New Horizons programme is a programme that was launched by the Department of Health in 2009; this is a 10-year strategy to continue to improve the mental health services offered by 2020. However, this does not mention sexual health, (NHS Choices 2010)
The Royal College of Nurses (2001), states that health promotion policies that dispel inequalities in sexual health should be put in place and utilised. In addition to this, Gray et al (2002) pointed out that the sexual health policies of several mental health NHS Trusts are completely out dated, Gray et al (2002) further says that most of these policies simply states that patients are not permitted to have sex whilst on the ward. Gray et al (2002) gave as an example a policy from a mental health Trust that simply states that ‘Sexual activity involving patients on hospital premises is not an acceptable form of behaviour’.
Developments and improvements in practice need to be made. In order to achieve safe effective nursing practice, it is paramount to be able to enhance knowledge, skills, values and attitudes towards professional practice. This could be done through staff training and adopting a learning culture. However, time and duties need to be well managed in order to make this a success. In addition to this, Nurse Week (2005), points out that nurses tend to spend most of their time in administrative and managerial duties which prevent them from spending time engaging in more therapeutic work with patients. A learning culture is a practice of a ‘no blame’ approach to management which according to Collier (2005) generally translate theory and directives into practice in a meaningful way.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this article has demonstrated the relevance of mental health nurses having a good knowledge base of sexual health and the benefits of it and substantiated it with evidence The literature used during this exercise highlights the need for mental health nurses to have sexual health knowledge and how much the mental health patients will benefit from sexual health education. It has also proved that with sexual health education, evidence shows that they can be a reduction in sexually transmitted infections. It is important to state finally that this exercise has given me a clear understanding of the importance of mental health nurses being able to promote sexual health. It is clear that clients with mental health problems are more likely to experience problems with their sexual health.
The experience I had made me realise that knowledge is power and when faced with situations were mental health clients have sexual health needs they do not have enough knowledge on. Health promotion is also identified among the seven pillars of clinical governance initiative (DOH, 1998), in which I will be expected to engage in my professional practice as a registered nurse. In order to practice ethically and to empower clients to live an independent life, mental health nurses need to have knowledge about how to respond to the needs of people with mental illness in an ethical, honest, and non judgemental manner and this includes sexual health.

Women’s Mental Health
Is
so-called “positive thinking” have a real effect on the woman’s mental health and physical health? Then a change in your thinking really change your health? The answer is yes, after a scientific study at the University of Pennsylvania.
The study found that those who responded more optimistic in need who have lived odds pessimistic answer.
The adversity and stress, visit us all on a regular basis. A quick test of your current level of optimism is the answer that you have read the previous paragraphs. Some people hope and confidence of the news. Others feel helpless and shake their heads and muttering something negative. We see both reactions in life and, unfortunately, negative thinking seems to be more frequent.
Parade magazine reported that in a recent survey, 250,000 women, said the number one problem, he faces the stress of everyday life. One way to emphasize to provide challenges and overcome them is to think hopeful thoughts about how you plan to rise above the situation and solve the problem. Imagine victorious.
Some women say: “But I have no imagination.” Of course you do. Whenever you’re worried about something that is not the case, you have to think the worst. You use your imagination to visualize your worries. Use them to present the same process, however, view the best and things are going well instead of things go wrong.
How do you think you are so give
Author James Allen wrote the following advice poetic than 100 years ago:
Strong at the base, pure and happy thoughts of the body strength and grace. The body is soft and supple instrument that responds readily to mind by which it impressed, and habits of their own effects, good or bad, to occur.
Thought is the source of the action, life and events, make the fountain pure, and everything will be clean.
If you perfect your body, guard your mind. When you renew your body, beautify your mind.
Since you can not have fresh and healthy at home, if you admit the air and sunlight as in your bedroom, a strong body and a bright face, happy, joyful, can only result from the coming into franchise in the mind thoughts of joy and goodwill and serenity.
There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body, there is no comforter to compare with have goodwill for dispersing the shadows of pain and sorrow. To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, distrust and envy, that is enclosed in a self-made prison. But think of all, with all pleased to learn patience, good at all – such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven, and live day by day in thoughts of peace to every creature will bring peace to their wealthy landowners.
What makes a healthy personality? According to Emerson, “Every individual has a healthy personality, the exact extent to which they are looking for the trend toward the good in every situation.”
Try this for a day. Look for the good in every situation. Find the right side of every cloud. See if you do not have a better day than usual.
is when you meet someone who thinks negatively, remember this little joke and laugh, if a grouch this advice, he said, “Once I wanted to try positive thinking has been given .. . I said, but what the hell use will be in the attempt. “
Look for the good in every situation now and keep smiling.

Black Men and the Stigma of Seeking Mental Health Help
Neo Soul artist
Angie Stone, texts, which many black women think black men when they for years, “she said with anger issues, and you tend to deny any opportunity to right your wrong” . Because women in our lives that we know intimately and care so deeply hurt when we can see or react to pain. But black men are young and old to walk with anger, pain and stress, which literally suck the joy of our lives by high blood pressure, impotence, fatigue, alcohol and many other physical symptoms and emotional distress because of poor mental health. But many of us stubbornly refuse to help mental health, the better for men – husbands, fathers, friends, or simply becomes emotional OLE.
No, this is not simply ‘Crazy Uncle Joe “at the rear of the house of the grandmother, desperate to help mental health needs, but also brothers there, everything seems to have together. You suffer alone to fulfill their emotions, or even treatment. And those who depend on them are expensive and they like to suffer.
But why, if the mental health support is available?
When I sat down with Dr. Verdi Lethermon (Director, Department of Psychological Services Department of the Houston police and the owner of Lethermon & Associates), she said that black men are reluctant to contribute to the mental health, because “black men are understood historically false, underestimated, and the oppressed. Black men have attempted to assert a thin line of being aggressive foot and understand, without. black men tend not to their weaknesses, because this show has. In therapy you may be vulnerable and let your feelings and your address. “
And let the emotions is something that black men have learned not to make a very early age. We all remember what is said to little girls when they fell to the ground and scraped his knee, “Aw baby, come here, it’s gonna be alright. “However, the speech was very different when a little boy fell down and started crying” boy stop crying like a little girl yo ‘a ** and walk it off. ” And in these moments, the boys have been trained, adult males, can not express the feelings and are afraid to be vulnerable. But Dr. Lethermon believes that negative emotions, because if “they are finally uncontrollably and then we will all pay the price” deals if necessary.
We know that black men were used as Guinea pigs and medical scientists from the slave ship in Tuskegee. And if the truth is, it should not blind us to the necessary mental health assistance. Dr. Lethermon said that when Black men refuse to help mental health “, they tend to re-victimize the pain and stress in their lives, victims and others continue to”
< , br />
So now the time for black men to receive the necessary assistance from mental health! But other black men and black people in general take on the stigma of seeing a psychologist and mental health problems are at the break. We should also take advantage of our oral tradition of tales to tell the truth about our mental health. Similarly, we require a good stylist, we need to seek a good therapist, if we really need.
But how do you know that you need help with mental health? Dr. Lethermon said that some of the symptoms when you lose self-control in the areas of your life that you normally under control, or if one person self-esteem is slipping into a black hole, and withdraw from the population, objects and routines that you did. “
And if you ignore the symptoms of the disorder is around the corner. “The anger is rising to the surface, because anger is a feeling of security – instead of the real feeling of anxiety, inadequacy, emotional, stressed, overwhelmed or powerless – and instead rely on them themselves, the person guilty of other people, “says Leatherman.
Fellas, this is not correct, hold back the tears or the bottle of your feelings, your problems are real and how you’re on the real itself. Jesus wept, wept employment Rath Research, the O’Jays and called with their wives. Thus, instead of consulting with a brown liquid, with another municipality, another woman, or call with ESPN – perhaps it is time to talk to a therapist about these issues.
Women can help to support black men in their lives to preserve the mental health assistance. Dr. Leatherman said, mothers, sisters, girlfriends and wives invite “him to consider a treatment or care of a therapist in your love for him, for himself and for himself.” Women have a great influence on how including a man treats his mental health problems – they can be a lawyer or an obstacle. Leatherman said that “women sometimes accidentally smothered an effort to express human feelings, how women react when he expresses his feelings. Minimize Sometimes, women or their feelings are overwhelmed and do not want to hear, and sometimes women to declare invalid. And this can reduce the future vulnerability and willingness to help, but sometimes (women) against attack. I encourages women to look and are – to hurt or help the man in her life openly express his feelings. “
So what happens when black men to receive mental health needs help? “It’s pretty incredible,” said Dr. Leatherman, “you feel better about themselves. And this feeling waves to everyone – especially women and children, they are role models and their brains, they should be. Then the wives and children are more willing to submit and track. “
Jill Scott has been said it is the best when she said, “We need it!” Black women need us, our children need us, and we have a whole and emotionally stable. But this can not happen if we masculinity undermined by the fear of being vulnerable and get help, mental health, who need some of us so desperately continues. Dr. Leatherman said, Black Men, “” It takes courage to come to therapy, everyone will not do it, but it is one of the best gifts you can make in life. “And future generations counting. Our race needs help, so help us God. Future generations are counting on black men.
Have you courage?

Spirituality Linked to Mental Health
A new study reveals that women who had stopped practicing were over three times more likely to suffer from generalized anxiety and alcohol abuse or dependence than women who reported always been active .
“A model of lifetime service can be assigned to participate in psychiatric diseases,” said Temple University’s Joanna Maselko, Sc.D., Assistant Professor of Public Health and co-author of the study, published in the January issue of Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology. Conversely, men who stopped practitioners were less likely to suffer from severe depression, where men who have always been religiously active cons.
Maselko offers a possible explanation of gender differences in the relationship between religious activity and mental health. “Women are simply more involved in social networks of their religious communities. If they stop the religious services, they will lose access to this network and all its potential benefits. Men can not be integrated into the religious community, first and can not suffer the negative consequences of leaving, “said Maselko.
The study builds on previous research on the analysis of the relationship between mental health – anxiety, depression and alcohol dependence or abuse – and spirituality with current and past levels, said Maselko The research, conducted at Harvard University has been.
The sample consisted of 718 adults has changed, the majority of men and women, their level of religious activity between childhood and adulthood, the essential information for scientists. “One person, the current level of spirituality is a part of history. We can not allow a better understanding of the relationship between health and spirituality by knowing the lifetime of a person the religious history, “said Maselko.
Of the 278 women in the group, 39 percent (n = 109) has always been religiously active and 51 percent (n = 141) has not been active since childhood. About 7 percent of women who have always been religiously active met the criteria for generalized anxiety disorder compared to 21 per cent of women who were arrested in religious activities.
“Everyone has some spirituality, whether it is an active part of their life or not, agnostic or atheist or just ‘non-attenders. “These decisions have potential consequences for health, similar to the way you do for social networks,” said Maselko. P>
Living Together Without Marriage Improves Men’s Mental Health
A study in England found thousands of women and men, people who have gone through good and bad times with the original partner stayed together and were much happier spiritually.
It was also found that men who played on the field on the links when they are done much more quickly than women did was.
The women, who alone was once a great love which does not tend to remain mentally stable.
The fact that women who must live with a man without benefit of marriage is not as happy as men, because there is no financial protection for them if the relationship ends. Security is all women and marriage is stable and end the relationship, even if they may have certain rights. This explains why women who are married are mentally stable, they simply lived together.
Women have children and need a stable life and a strong desire to protect themselves and their children. Sun marriage is very important, financially and there is also the issue of respect that everyone’s needs. If a woman has her own career and own money here, they may be less important.
From a perspective of man and if AOS, AOS about 25 security is very important. But most men Don, AOT will be crammed into a relationship with the woman he loves. He wants it his idea OSA. The trick for a woman to make him believe he is his idea.
Being married is still associated with mental and physical health more than possible. Bachelor-Don, AOT live as long as less than, AOS, which shows the myth. Recent studies show married men live longer lives with greater psychological happiness.
There was a study of English for 10 years until the turn of the millennium than 10,000 adults. Men and women were interviewed and asked a series of questions to be depressed or anxious.
The long-term relationships that have weathered the storm, providing excellent mental health.
People, relationships had failed, and now only had a combination of sadness and anger, and are often depressed. Men and women have poor mental health after this experience. But for those who could move on to new relationships, much damage has been somewhat withdrawn. Although women seem to be more difficult to release than men.
Mental health of women as and when the break they showed a further deterioration.
For men who appeared to be several different experiences there, the reverse was true. Men who had more than one relationship, and then seemed to be in good mental health. These men that only a relationship and had not moved, are not as mentally stable.
Women who never married, but lives with his companion were in great mental health differently than men in the same situation

The Four Quadrant Model for Integrating Health Care for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Patients
The four-quadrant model is a model to the planned integration of clinical mental health services and behavioral health. The emphasis on the prevalence of concurrent disorders (eg, depression and alcoholism) in this model in the foreground. The four-quadrant model based on the 1998 consensus document on mental health and drug abuse / addiction integration service. This pattern of a comprehensive, integrated and continuous care describes the different levels of mental health and substance abuse clinicians and integration of skills based on the four-quadrant model, divided into severity for each disorder: < , br />
> Quadrant I: Low mental health – drugs bass served in primary care
> Quadrant II: Back to Mental Health – Abuse Drug weak mental health system by the staff, skills, substance abuse br served>>; Quadrant III: Low mental health – high drug abuse, drug abuse in the system by staff who have mental health literacy
> Quadrant IV: Top of Mental Health serves – high drug abuse served as a fully integrated substance abuse and mental /> health program < , br /> The four-quadrant model, is not intended to be what happened in each quadrant prescriptive, but rather as a conceptual framework for cooperative planning in each local system to serve.
