4 THE PROFESSION OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING Psychiatric Nursing, as a distinct profession, provides service to individuals whose care needs relate to mental, physical, and developmental health. Registered Psychiatric Nurses engage in various roles providing health services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. The practice of psychiatric nursing occurs within the domains of direct practice, education, administration, and research. The core knowledge and skills of psychiatric nursing are derived from the biological, physiological, and psychological health sciences. The competencies acquired from this body of knowledge guide the application of critical thinking and professional judgment. The core of psychiatric nursing practice is the therapeutic relationship. Psychiatric Nursing focuses on various factors that influence physical and mental health and is committed to the promotion of health, the maintenance of optimal health, the prevention of illness, and the care and treatment of persons with mental illness and developmental disabilities. Registered Psychiatric Nurses work with people on their personal journeys to recovery. Psychiatric Nursing values all aspects of health. The profession recognizes the complex relationships between emotional, developmental, physical, and mental health; the influence of social factors on physical and mental health and on illness; and the role of culture and spirituality in health promotion, illness prevention, and recovery. Psychiatric Nursing values equality and believes that persons with mental health and developmental challenges deserve access to high quality health services. As a profession, Psychiatric Nursing strives to respond to and influence a complex and changing health system. This document provides guidance to Registered Psychiatric Nurses, educators, employers, and the public. 1
5 PSYCHIATRIC NURSING IN CANADA Psychiatric Nursing is regulated as a distinct profession in Canada by the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan and the Yukon Territory. Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Canada (RPNC), made up of the provincial/territorial regulatory authorities, provides a unified provincial, national, and international voice for Registered Psychiatric Nurses in Canada. Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Canada s vision is quality mental health services for all Canadians. The profession of Psychiatric Nursing assumes the responsibility of selfregulation through provincial/territorial legislation. The regulatory authorities in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon Territory regulate the profession of Psychiatric Nursing with a mandate to protect the public and set standards for psychiatric nursing practice and education. This document has been developed in cooperation with the provincial regulatory authorities and has been validated with Registered Psychiatric Nurses in Canada. In March of 2010, the RPNC Board of Directors approved the document. 2
6 CODE OF ETHICS & STANDARDS OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING PRACTICE The Code of Ethics is a set of guidelines that articulates an acceptable set of behaviours for Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs). The Code of Ethics articulates the ethical principles and values that guide all members of the Psychiatric Nursing profession. It sets out the framework for professional responsibility and accountability while promoting high ethical standards in practice and providing a benchmark for Registered Psychiatric Nurses to use for self-evaluation. The Standards of Psychiatric Nursing Practice further articulates the legal and professional obligations of the Registered Psychiatric Nurse. The Code of Ethics and Standards of Psychiatric Nursing Practice support one another and apply to all practice settings, domains of practice, and roles regardless of an individual RPN s educational preparation or professional experience. THE CODE OF ETHICS Through the Code of Ethics, Registered Psychiatric Nurses uphold the values of: Safe, competent, and ethical practice to ensure the protection of the public; Respect for the inherent worth, right of choice, and dignity of persons; Health, mental health, and well-being; and, Quality practice. 3

10 THE STANDARDS OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING PRACTICE The Standards of Psychiatric Nursing Practice describes, in broad terms, the expected level of performance of all Registered Psychiatric Nurses. There are four (4) Standards of Psychiatric Nursing Practice. A standard may be defined as a benchmark of achievement that is based on a desired level of excellence. The standards provide a guide to the knowledge, skills, values, judgment, and attitudes that are needed to practice safely. They reflect a desired and achievable level of performance against which actual performance can be compared. Their main purpose is to promote, guide, and direct professional psychiatric nursing practice. Under each standard of practice there are a number of indicators that help determine how to meet the standard of practice. An indicator is a statement that helps illustrate how the standards can be met. The indicators are representative but not comprehensive for each standard. STANDARD 1: THERAPEUTIC INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS Registered Psychiatric Nurses establish professional, interpersonal, and therapeutic relationships with individual, groups, families, and communities. Indicators: A Registered Psychiatric Nurse: Acts as role model for positive professional, interpersonal, and therapeutic relationships. Uses professional judgment and practices with personal integrity to initiate, maintain, and terminate professional, interpersonal, and therapeutic relationships. Consistently applies processes of self-awareness within professional practice. Collaborates and advocates with individuals, families, groups, and communities. Creates therapeutic environments in diverse practice settings. Creates partnerships in professional, interpersonal, and therapeutic relationships. Recognizes and addresses power imbalances in professional, interpersonal, and therapeutic relationships. 7
11 STANDARD 2: APPLICATION AND INTEGRATION OF THEORY-BASED KNOWLEDGE Registered Psychiatric Nurses apply and integrate theory-based knowledge relevant to professional practice derived from psychiatric nursing education and continued life-long learning. Indicators: A Registered Psychiatric Nurse: Uses theory-based knowledge in psychiatric nursing practice.

13 GLOSSARY Boundaries Competencies Continuing Competence Cultural Safety Health Mental Health Boundaries are limits that protect the space between the professional s power and the client s vulnerability. Boundaries define and separate professional roles from other roles. Boundaries are the limits that allow a safe connection between a professional and a client and are always based on the client s needs (Peterson, M. 1992). Competencies are the knowledge, skills, judgments, attitudes, and values required for successful functioning as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse. Continuing Competence is the ongoing ability of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse to integrate and apply the knowledge, skills, judgment, and interpersonal attributes required to practice safely and ethically in a designated role and setting. Cultural Safety addresses the diverse mental health needs of people living in Canada by communicating and practicing in a way that respects and takes into account the cultural, social, political, linguistic, and spiritual realities of the people with whom one is working (Toward Recovery and Well-Being, Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2009). Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (World Health Organization). Mental Health can be conceptualized as a state of well-being in which individuals realize their own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and are able to make a contribution to their community (World Health Organization). 10
14 Mental Health Promotion Recovery Mental Health Promotion is the process of developing positive mental health both for and with the community in general and individuals who experience mental illness. It is linked to relationships with others, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and the degree of power one has over one s life (Canadian Mental Health Association). Recovery is a process in which people living with mental health problems and illnesses are empowered and supported to be actively engaged in their own journey of well-being (Toward Recovery and Well-Being, Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2009). 11
