Psychiatric Nursing in Bangladesh
暫譯: 孟加拉國精神科護理

這本書是關於孟加拉國的精神科護理。孟加拉國是一個人口稠密的南亞國家，擁有約1.7億人，最近已轉型為中低收入國家，但仍面臨傳染病和非傳染病的重大雙重負擔。孟加拉國的護理人員極度短缺，目前（截至2023年2月）僅有77,838名註冊護理師。根據謹慎的預測，到2030年對護理人員的需求將達到483,000名。最新的估計顯示，每10萬名患者中僅有0.43名精神科護理師。目前，孟加拉國並沒有專門針對精神科護理的教科書，儘管該國對心理健康教育的需求迫切。本書將提供基本的見解和文化相關的技能，以幫助彌補該國的健康服務。提供本地化內容、實用案例研究和特定情境的介入措施，將使下一代護理人員能更好地滿足孟加拉社區的心理健康需求。市場上沒有類似的書籍專注於孟加拉國的精神科護理。因此，這將是根據孟加拉國護理學士（BSc Nursing）課程的第一本此類書籍。
