While other areas were able to define what was unique to their role, it was found that there was no consensus among nurses about their role due to their training in nursing. There is a risk that, and nurses cannot develop a clearer rationale for their role, or be better able to articulate what they do in these teams, that role may be lost. |

Two main categories and associated subcategories were identified: Experiences of frustration in practice (subcategories: Non-therapeutic situations; Insubstantiality of interventions and value of life) and relationship strategies with young people (subcategories: Specialized competences in care; Reflections on one’s own experience). The meanings of these categories highlight barriers in the relationship between nurses and physicians that they have with young people who engage in suicidal behavior. If suicide prevention policies around the world are to succeed, the phenomena that impact communication between these professionals and young people need to be addressed in research, education and practice development. |

We found two themes. One on the emotional impact of working with these young people and the other on the ways it has affected the clinical team dynamic. Many of the participants’ experiences and desires, such as anger, feeling awkward, and wanting training, are similar to those of nurses working with adults with Parkinson’s disease. Others seem to be more pronounced in this scenario, particularly in relation to the lack of diagnostic certainty, which involves the dilemmas that this brings in the provision of a service, and the difficult interpersonal dynamics in the nurse-patient relationship. |

Psychiatric nurses’ role filled several necessary gaps, as she was able to provide a keen eye for processes and patterns related to psychiatric diagnosis and prescription, help to bolster the confidence of case managers, youth and foster parents to advocate for youth mental health care and provide an integrated perspective on physical and mental health for a population with complex comorbidities. |
