This was done immediately following the occurrence of a PS event. Transcripts were analyzed using a qualitative coding process. FINDINGS: Four general and 14 specific PS activities were described associated with the nursing intervention PS. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Nurses can now refer to specific activities of PS. An elaborated definition of PS is provided to facilitate a better understanding and using of PS as a psychiatric nursing intervention.
