“…For instance, Brennan et al, (2006) revealed that lack of knowledge of their role within the health team and in the attainment of organisational goals and lack of autonomy constitute barriers to provision of psychiatric nursing care. Other personal barriers to provision of psychiatric care are as follows: lack of appropriate and specific training and education, inability to use acquired skills due to time constraints and huge workload, and allocation to inferior roles within the psychiatric health team (Mathers, 2012;Wong, 2014;McAllister and Moyle, 2008). Other personal barriers to provision of psychiatric nursing care highlighted in literature in high-income economies include: indifferent attitudes of some psychiatric nurses towards provision of care, lack of interest in provision of psychiatric care among some psychiatric nurses, low morale and low selfesteem/confidence, and frustration from managers over perceived under-performance of their subordinates (Wong, 2014;Brennan et al, 2006;Chevalier et al, 2006;Jelinek et al, 2011).…”
