With the extension of the course of disease and the development of modern society, the family has brought great pressure to the work and life of children. Most of time of family is spent on taking care of the children, while ignoring the care of the elderly. So the phenomenon of the accompanying company is more and more obvious. The accompanying management of accompanying company is not systematic, and there are some differences in the ability of accompanying care and nursing level. The incidence of falls in the elderly is high, the disability rate is high, the mortality rate is high, and the consequences are serious. Therefore, the accompanying management of geriatric psychiatric ward is very important to reduce the incidence of falls in geriatric psychiatric patients.展开更多

Treating psychiatric patients with COVID-19 poses multiple challenges in the inpatient psychiatric setting in terms of mitigating transmission of the virus. Gracie Square Hospital, a freestanding psychiatric hospital located in New York City, devoted a unit to treating COVID-19 patients requiring inpatient psychiatric treatment. This paper describes our experiences and challenges while managing the psychiatric COVID-19 unit that may serve as a model for other health care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.展开更多

In order to better guarantee the physical and mental health and life safety of mental patients, it is necessary to send them to mental hospitals. However, in the process of hospitalization, patients often appear to go out of the behavior, which affects the safety of patients, and then affect the normal operation of psychiatric hospitals. Therefore, it is necessary to take corresponding nursing measures to strengthen the attention of patients and reduce the appearance of outbound behavior. In hospitalized psychiatric patients outside behavior nursing progress, for example, the analysis of features of hospitalized psychiatric patients behavior is found out and the cause of mental patients appeared outside walk behavior, formulate corresponding nursing measures, efforts to improve the management of mental patients, control the patient's condition, reduce the occurrence of outside walk behavior, to ensure the safety of psychiatric patient's life. I hope the analysis of this paper can provide reference experience for peers.展开更多
