This article reviews the literature for evidence regarding outcomes for severely mentally ill patients hospitalized in general hospitals for non-psychiatric conditions. The study concluded that nurses play a pivotal role with the mentally ill population but struggle to do so. The authors suggest research to determine the best methods for promoting knowledge, positive attitudes and self-confidence in caring for patients with psychiatric co-morbidity among nurses.
