Similarly, Rose and Glass () suggested that positive emotional well‐being is contingent upon being autonomous, being satisfied within the role, and being able to express oneself (i.e. through clinical supervision or with a supportive team).…”

Emotional labour is the effort consumed by suppressing one's own emotions to care for others effectively while also caring for oneself. Mental health nurses are required to engage in effective therapeutic interactions in emotionally-intense situations. The aim of the present integrative systematic review was to investigate the emotional labour of mental health work and how this manifested, the impacts, and the ways to mitigate these impacts. In June 2016, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology, a systematic search of the bibliographic databases was undertaken to identify relevant literature. Screening, data extraction, and synthesis were performed by three reviewers. The inclusion criteria included any original research that investigated the emotional work of mental health nurses. We identified a total of 20 papers to be included in this review. Thematic synthesis of the findings revealed three emergent themes: emotional labour and caring, emotional exhaustion, and self-protection (expressed as emotional intelligence). Emotional labour, emotional exhaustion, and emotional intelligence were considered to be intrinsically linked, where they were both the influencing factor for burnout and a contributor to attrition. The results highlighted that emotional labour could inspire the development and personal growth of emotional intelligence in mental health nurses. In light of these findings, recommendations for clinical practice were considered; they included supportive work environments, involving nurses in shared decision-making, and the provision of ongoing professional development opportunities that facilitate the development of emotional intelligence and resilience.

“…A clear link has been found between staff well‐being and patient well‐being, with The Department of Health's Boorman Review (DoH ) demonstrating that 80% of NHS staff surveyed felt that their health and well‐being impacts on the care they provide patients. Qualitative research of community nurses suggested that their emotional well‐being was essential for them to fulfil their professional practice (Rose & Glass ), a finding also evident in other specialties (Firth‐Cozens ).…”

“…However, assertiveness is a valued behaviour because of its contribution to leadership, quality patient care and increased job satisfaction. In an Australian study involving women community mental health nurses, Rose and Glass (2006) found that the ability to speak out contributes to the emotional well‐being of mental health nurses, ultimately leading to satisfying professional practice. This is also apparent for MHNs working under the MHNIP as they assert their role to locate themselves in the primary health care arena.…”

The extent to which the Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program becomes a sustainable strategy to promote quality and accessible mental health care will depend to some degree on the capacity to identify the skills and attitudes necessary for practice. The findings presented in this paper provide a significant contribution to articulating the essential characteristics required for this area of practice.
