Abstract
A review and synthesis of the literature exploring current issues and challenges associated with the perceptions of nurses who care for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) in the medical-surgical settings revealed that the challenges are overwhelming, for both the nurses and the patients. The literature infers that medical-surgical nurses lack the skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary to render therapeutic nursing care to patients with severe mental illness.
