Attitude of Nurses in the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital Enugu Relating To Relapse Prevention among Psychiatric Patients

Abstract

Every hospital has the task of determining whether there is a problem with the patients, the healthcare providers, or the broader public when the intended goal is not achieved. The Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital's mental health patients' attitudes toward relapse prevention are the basis for this study's attitude analysis. Enugu. This study's goals are to understand nurses' attitudes about relapse prevention and to identify long-term solutions to reduce this threat. It also aims to identify the causes of relapse and provide strategies for preventing it. Data were gathered via questionnaires and interviews, and the results were tabulated, displayed as a bar chart, and expressed as percentages. The study used nurses, and the data was collected and examined. The outcome demonstrated that relapses can be prevented by a mix of factors rather than alone by the nurse's skill. All of these can be avoided with proper education, family-focused therapy, strong social support, compliance, and attendance at follow-up appointments.
