“…Future directions for advancing the science of PMH nursing may consider building research teams formed of PhD, DNP, and PMH nurses at other levels of practice (Hauenstein & Clark, 2020; Haynes & Maddigan, 2019). Moreover, research studies, EBP and QI projects carried out by interdisciplinary teams may be another possible solution to bolster both the likelihood of funding and publication (Hauenstein & Clark, 2020; Heckler et al, 2020).…”

“…Meanwhile, since that time, the PMH nursing specialty is challenged with workforce issues, such as shortages of nurses and nurse scientists. A solution to the dwindling PMH nursing science may be redefining the meaning of scholarship and devising research teams that consist of PhD, DNP, and PMH nurses at other levels of practice (Hauenstein & Clark, 2020; Haynes & Maddigan, 2019). For example, clinical nurses may not have the experience and resources to conduct research or EBP projects, but they are in a prime position to identify priority clinical issues and client needs.…”

“…They possess special skill sets in communication and therapeutic relationships. They care for individuals and families across the lifespan with a multitude of mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUDs), often accompanied by chronic health conditions (Haynes & Maddigan, 2019). They provide leadership and consultation to schools, communities, and policymakers on mental health initiatives for the public good.…”

Background: Identifying and sharing psychiatric mental health (PMH) research priorities can help identify gaps in the literature, determine training needs for nurses, and assist investigators in locating funding. Aims: The aims for this project included: (1) identify PMH nursing specialty research priorities from large, public funding entities; (2) compare the identified research priorities and scholarly articles published in 2020; and (3) outline future directions for advancing the science of PMH nursing. Methods: Strategic plans of funding entities for PMH research were reviewed for research priorities. Summarized priorities were then compared with publications from peer-reviewed PMH nursing journals. Work conducted in the United States was extracted and categorized as original research, evidence-based practice (EBP), or quality improvement (QI), then design and population. Results: Priorities from 13 funding entities comprised three domains (education, research, and practice), with nine areas, 30 topics, and subtopics. Eight journals produced 432 articles with 99 (23%) conducted in the United States. Among these journals, publications fitting research priorities ranged from 1 to 33 articles. Of the 99 articles, 85% were original research and 15% were either EBP or QI. Descriptive articles comprised 64% and 23% tested interventions. Populations studied included workforce; adults; infants, children, and adolescents; and parents. Conclusions: All published articles by the U.S. PMH nurses matched the funding priorities, but not all funding priorities were addressed by 2020 publications. The majority of work was conducted outside of the United States and most published from the United States was descriptive, contrary to many United States funders’ priorities for interventional research.
