title: Developing a psychosocial rehabilitation treatment mall: an implementation model for mental health nurses.
abstract: The psychosocial rehabilitation "treatment mall" is a widely accepted method of providing active treatment to patients with serious mental illnesses in psychiatric hospital settings. As a multidisciplinary endeavor, it is important that all clinical disciplines are involved in the development and operation of treatment malls. However, related to their roles as both clinicians and as milieu managers, nurses are crucial in both the development and implementation of such malls. Current literature fails to adequately highlight the role nurses and nursing staff play in treatment malls. Using the treatment mall at Memphis Mental Health Institute as an exemplar, a mall implementation model will be discussed specifically focusing on intra- and interdisciplinary nursing practice.
