Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of mental health nurses to be trained, to provide psychological therapy. The purpose of this review will be to determine the nature of support that mental health nurses could deliver to carers of people diagnosed with chronic or who provide psychological therapy. The aim was to identify advances that could be delivered inside community perform to reduce problem and boost information, mental health and coping.
