부산대학교 도서관

Being in mixed mental health wards can make female patients feel physically and emotionally vulnerable, especially if they are treated by male nurses. Nurses are expected to be caring and supportive and it is easy for relationships to develop. Health care services should screen applicants carefully to reject unsuitable or unstable candidates and set up procedures to monitor the attitudes and behaviour of existing staff. Induction and training courses should include an awareness of abusive relationships and sexual or gender issues.
