Abstract Background The incidence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is high and often occurs repeatedly. Psychiatric nurses play a vital role in the care and treatment of NSSI patients, as they have the most frequent contact with patients. The experiences and attitudes of nurses has a direct affect on the quality of care they provide to patients. Negative care experiences and attitudes of patient aversion on behalf of nurses may delay the observation and treatment of changes in the patient’s condition, leading to irreversible risks. Although cross-sectional studies have investigated the attitudes of medical staff toward NSSI patients, quantitative research results cannot comprehensively reflect the emotional experiences and complex psychological changes of the study subjects. A few studies have focused on the psychiatric nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward patients with repeated NSSI. Objective This study aimed to explore psychiatric nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward patients during repeated NSSI. Methods A thematic analysis qualitative study was used. Using purposive sampling, 18 psychiatric nurses were recruited from a mental health center in Chengdu, China. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and audio-recorded. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using six-phase thematic analysis. Results Four themes emerged from the analysis: psychiatric nurses’ care experiences, perceptions, care attitudes and coping style toward repeated NSSI patients. Psychiatric nurses have experienced negative care experiences and severe career burnout during the patient’s repeated NSSI. Nurses’ attitudes toward NSSI patients changed during repeated NSSI, from understanding to indifference to anger and resentment. At the same time, it was found that nurses’ coping style with NSSI patients could be divided into three stages, namely, active coping, neglect and perfunctory, and criticism and punishment. Conclusions The findings have implications for health care systems regarding interventions to improve nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward repeated NSSI patients. These findings suggest that enhancing nurses’ understanding of NSSI, establishing standardized emergency response and intervention programs, guiding positive professional values and responsibility, and improving nurses’ caring attitudes can promote the early detection and timely intervention of NSSI. |
