Avoiding Paternalism

Bladon, Henry·2019·Issues in Mental Health Nursing

Abstract

Ethical problems have always been a feature in mental health nursing, partly due to the association with the system of traditional psychiatric care. This paper examines the issue of paternalism and how it lingers from past nursing practice and can impede contemporary practice. Finally, some paths for positive engagement are examined, along with strategies to determine how paternalism could be minimised in modern mental health nursing practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
