The purpose of this thesis is to find out the various ways and methods that can be used to promote nurses’ work safety in psychiatric units. The research question was; how can nurses’
work safety be promoted in psychiatric nursing?
The method of data collection was systematic literature review which means conducting a literature search, selecting data significant to the research question, description and analyzing of the data selected. This review was based on books, articles and journals from Laurea University of Applied Science's library, previous conducted studies, web search and electronic search through Laurea's electronic database NELLI. The primary search collected 614 articles using the keywords "nurses work safety", "promotion of safety", "psychiatric units", "nurses in psychiatric" in combination with "mental health". For articles to fit in the inclusion criteria they had to be in English, full text articles and published after 2000. A total of eleven studies were selected for this review and were analyzed through a qualitative inductive process.
Findings revealed four main aggregations that can promote nurses safety in psychiatric units, which includes Integrated risk appraisal method, Active work place analysis, Effective training, and Administrative involution. Integrated risk appraisal method contains clinical interventions, Bio-Psycho-Social model, biological model, psychological model, and social model, Active work place analysis contains assured care programs and participation rule, Effective training entails management roles and productive safety measures while Administrative involution entails working unit checks and Peril control interventions.
Trustworthiness and ethical issues have been considered throughout the study. There was insufficient data concerning nurses’ work safety in psychiatric nursing hence more research would be recommended on this topic.
