NSG 526 Week 7 discussion:  Mental Health Crises Intervention Paper

crisis intervention relates to strategies that provide urgent, quick assistance to patients experiencing psychological, cognitive, somatic, or behavioral disorders or concerns. Mental health crises are typically brief and last roughly one month. According to Shangguan et al. (2020), in emergency therapy, the primary focus is on symptomatology or manifestations. However, crisis intervention in mental health emphasizes the trigger causes and their rapid resolution. In both mental health and other crises involving emergency intervention treatments, the emphasis is on the individual and the investigations. The difference comes in mental health interventions, which also focuses on behavior patterns and feelings.

Since psychiatric emergencies and life crises are at opposing extremes of the medical spectrum on the urgencies requiring immediate assistance: To save a life, emergencies require prompt medical intervention. For the same reason, prompt hospital hospitalization and an extra treatment of primary care risks must be offered to mental health patients who have physically hurt themselves and are at risk of death. Crises can involve both mental and social components.

The psychological or bodily risk determines the urgent urgency of therapy for the mental health patient (Nordstrom et al., 2019). As a result, distinct tasks are assigned to doctors, nurses, and social workers in emergency and crisis intervention services, with a multidisciplinary team in other crises. However, only psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses are involved in mental health emergencies. Townsend and Morgan (2018) show that short-term interventions in mental health emergencies put additional demands on the psychotherapist. The therapeutic contact specifies the concerns to be addressed within a certain time range, which does not apply in other emergencies.
