摘要

PURPOSE: To gain insight into nurses' perceptions and use of providing structure (PS) as an intervention during psychiatric inpatient care. DESIGN AND METHODS: Interviews were conducted with nurses (n = 18) from two inpatient wards in psychiatry immediately following the occurrence of a PS event. 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.
