Emergency mental health nursing for refugees and asylum seekers
Abstract
Emergency nurses see refugees and asylum seekers at the very point of their distress. This clinical update is intended to support nurses in their practice should they encounter an adult asylum seeker needing emergency mental health care. Practical strategies are highlighted to help nurses assess, care and comfort refugees and asylum seekers in this predicament.
