\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTop of Form<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHello Cheryl,<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI am very excited for you to pursue a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) career, and I wish you the very best of luck!\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f Your article references psychotherapy and how it is underutilized in PMHNP practice. The abstract talks about how the reduced use of this skill has potentially led to an under-emphasis in the PMHNP curriculum. This prompted me to search Walden’s curriculum and see whether it would be a skill we would acquire. Reviewing the course catalog, it appears that we will have opportunities to learn about this skill in psychotherapy with individuals and with groups and families (Walden University, n.d.).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn and study psychotherapy in the future. I feel that one new area our learning may address is telepsychotherapy. Markowitz et al., report that as practitioners, the differences between treating patients with psychotherapy via video or phone rather than in person may be alarming. The researchers reported concerns that these forms of therapy can impede emotional engagement and lead to an under-display or underreporting of symptoms or behaviors by the client (Markowitz et al., 2020).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f Regarding the article you found and coming from a place of wanting to learn more about suggestions or strategies for improving database searches, I have a question for you. I could not find access to the full text, which I feel happens often for me. Do you have any tips on how to do this when searching in a database? I have honestly encountered this issue a few times for articles I would like to read and utilize. I was able to find something called ResearchGate, and I was able to make an account. I requested permission to read the full text, but I do not know how long this will take. When I created my account with ResearchGate, it brought up a few prompts to verify my identity. There were many articles by several people who go by M. Ham, and I was asked to select myself as the author of the work in question or decline that I was the author. It was definitely something you could skip, but I got a kick out of seeing how many M. Ham’s that exist and wondered if I would ever have research published.\u202f<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f This inspired me to learn more about ResearchGate, an investor-funded start-up and global community to connect researchers who share and put forth science (ResearchGate, n.d.). One of their dreams is that world leaders look to scientific advisors before corporate donors, and I feel that my heart and professional goals resonate with that. Have you heard of ResearchGate?<\/span>
