Investigation of psychiatric nurses' views on psychotherapy implementation processes: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe views of psychiatric nurses on the practice of psychotherapy are multifaceted and profoundly influenced by their professional experience, educational background, and the therapeutic environment in which they work. This study aims to describe the views of psychiatric nurses regarding their psychotherapy implementation processes.
methodsA descriptive phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was adopted. The study sample consisted of 37 psychiatric nurses working in inpatient psychiatric units of hospitals in Türkiye. Data collection process was carried out through semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews. Participants were selected using the maximum variation sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsAs a result of the thematic analysis, three main themes and twenty-nine sub-themes were identified. Among the factors facilitating psychiatric nurses' psychotherapy implementation processes, participants emphasized long-term patient interaction, patient observation skills, and the holistic perspective of psychiatric nurses. However, they indicated that excessive workload, insufficient nursing staff, perceived lack of support, and acute clinical processes were among the inhibiting factors. Participants also made recommendations regarding the need to expand psychotherapy training, increase awareness, strengthen professional support mechanisms, and update legal regulations.
conclusionThis study highlights both the enablers and barriers to psychotherapy implementation by psychiatric nurses in Türkiye. While prolonged patient interaction and observation skills facilitate practice, excessive workload, limited staffing, and lack of legal recognition hinder it. To advance psychotherapy in nursing, practice-based training programs, institutional support mechanisms, and regulatory updates are essential. These steps can empower nurses to provide psychotherapeutic care and enhance mental health service delivery. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
