Nursing practice in front of patients with schizophrenia

Abstract

This article has as general objective to understand the nursing practice in the face of patients with schizophrenia, considering that the humanized care of nurses with this patient is extremely important, because it aims at holistic care establishing bonds between the patient and his/her family members. When developing care, it is essential that the professional recognizes the relevant factors to develop it and to pay attention to the need to help the patient and his/her family to know the disease better. With regard to the methodology, the study consisted of a descriptive and exploratory research in order to become more familiar with the investigated phenomenon. Bibliographic research is a more comprehensive survey of bibliographic reference on the chosen theme. Nursing has to develop in the psychiatric area and invest in research since it has little scientific work published on the theme thus improving the care provided, because it will be based on specific knowledge of Nursing. In general, it can be concluded that studies on mental diseases, especially schizophrenia, still need deepening and clarification, so that over time it can be better understood and thus identify even ways to avoid its triggering.
