Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association: Recovery-Oriented Practice in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

Guest Editors:
Kris A. McLoughlin,DNP, APRN, PMH-CNS, BC, CADC-II
Mary D. Moller DNP, ARNP, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN

DEADLINE for article submission: AUGUST 1, 2012

In a 2005 Mental Health Declaration for Europe, the World Health Organization identified the need to “design and implement…mental health systems that promote…recovery.” According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) National Consensus Statement, Recovery is cited as the “single most important goal” for the mental health service delivery system (2006). Most recently, on December 22, 2011 the SAMHSA announced a new working definition of recovery as “A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential”. Four major dimensions that support a life in recovery include health, home, purpose, and community along with 10 guiding principles: hope; person-driven; holistic; peer support; relationship and social networks; culturally-based and influenced; importance of addressing trauma; involving friends, family, community strengths, and responsibility; respect; and, the need for many pathways for recovery to occur.

The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) is one of five national participants in a SAMHSA initiative to transform the concepts of recovery from a set of beliefs to recovery-oriented nursing practices. As a profession, psychiatric-mental health nursing focuses on the person with the disease or disorder (not the disease or disorder itself). We assist people, through recovery-oriented interventions to adapt to their world and find personal meaning and purpose in their own real-life experiences as community members. This special issue will focus on the state of the science: How Psychiatric Nursing is understanding, integrating and developing recovery-practices and programs; and, how these practices affect outcomes.

Manuscript submission may include, but are not limited to:

Innovative recovery-oriented program development
Development, implementation, and evaluation of recovery-oriented practices or components of recovery practice
First-person accounts of recovery practice and related outcomes

Data-based manuscripts, quality improvement studies, state of the science / systematic literature reviews preferred. All manuscripts should be translational in nature by including key practice points for psychiatric nurses that can be implemented in the institutional or community healthcare setting.

The Journal of Literature and Trauma Studies is pleased to announce its second call for submissions for the Autumn issue (JLTS issue 2).
