A Model for Psychiatric Nursing Accompaniment of the Patient with Mental Discomfort : Part III

ABSTRACT

The research process did not proceed in the traditional step-by-step manner. A theory generating approach was followed by way of exploration and description. The first three levels factor isolating; factor relating and situation relating theories; were generated. A conceptual framework for psychiatric nursing accompaniment of the patient with mental discomfort was formulated on the basis of concept identification and classfication. The concepts mental discomfort; lifestyle finctioning and psychiatric nursing accompaniment were identified and subjected to concept analysis. A systematic; logical and consistent approach led to the conceptualisation of the model for psychiatric nursing accompani- ment of the patient with mental discomfort
