Abstract

It’s a descriptive-qualitative research study carried out at a psychiatric hospital in Paraná State/ Brazil from
February to May/2007. It aimed: to apprehend how nurses deliver mental health nursing care to patients admitted in a
psychiatric hospital. Seven nurses participated in the research study; data were collected by means of a semi-structured
interview and categorized as follows: nurses’ daily practice; nursing care delivered to patients and family members;
nursing care related to patients’ autonomy; nurses’ disqualification for mental health care. Data disclosed diversified
activities performed by nurses, however, administrative ones prevail. Patients’ direct care or their families’ is less emphasized.
It is concluded that care systematization is deemed necessary for a more effective practice as well as ongoing education
focusing on knowledge, ultimately interpersonal relationship.
