The topic of this thesis is Psychological care of psychiatric patients. Mental health problems occur in all cultures regardless of age, and one-fifth of humanity is affected by mental disorders. Furthermore, about 5% of the population has disabilities that significantly interfere with work and social functioning. For a nurse to be able to provide quality psychological care, she needs to be open, honest, transparent, to unconditionally accept the patient to empathize with his problems. Also, the nurse needs to know how to communicate in a non-judgmental way, show integrity and empathic capacity as well as determination in deciding about her. You need to know your limitations and simply act as a role model to others. Some authors have stressed the importance of self-awareness as far as one’s own thoughts, knowledge, and desires are concerned. It is important to accept yourself with all the flaws and virtues to be able to establish quality interpersonal relationships. Nurses need to monitor patients' behaviour, identify their stresses and how they are treated. Their appearance should be monitored, because sometimes a messy appearance can reveal the patient's mental state, i.e., there is a possibility of depression. Psychological care, as a segment of a holistic approach to human health, due to its numerous positive consequences, must not be neglected, but a necessary component, based on the best possible evidence. It is necessary to introduce a strategy that will promote the importance and improve the provision of psychological care.
