In a 3-year project, we conducted the preliminary survey with nursing staff about psychiatric nursing care in psychiatric hospitals at the national level and the survey with general hospitals patients about their mental state and needs for mental health care.

Despite small number of cases, this study by psychiatric liaison nurses suggested intervention that were shown to be effective and improve the patients' mental state in general hospitals.
The major conclusion is that nursing interventions, 1) telephone consultation services for psychiatric outpatients, 2) family support in psychiatric hospitals and 3) psychiatric liaison nurses support for patients with anxiety / depression are. effective in improving a patient's mental condition and all three needs to be considered when determining medical treatment fee for psychiatric nursing skills. Future studies will investigate the effects of nursing interventions on patients' QOL and the prevention of re-hospitalization using a control group. Less
