AIM: The aim of this paper is to briefly describe the prevalence of mental illness within the general health care population and the implications for the nursing profession. PRIMARY ARGUMENT: The nursing profession espouses holism as its philosophy of care. This philosophy embraces the essential interaction between the biological, psychological and social aspects of each individual. The mainstreaming of mental health services within the general health care system has increased the level of contact nurses have with people experiencing mental health problems, yet the research evidence suggests they are not confident or competent in meeting the associated needs. CONCLUSION: There is an urgent need for education of the current and future nursing workforce if the challenges presented by mental health issues are to be addressed.
