Nursing and psychology are interrelated fields. Nurses seek to understand patients' mental state, thoughts, and behaviors in order to properly care for their health needs. Psychology provides perspectives like biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive approaches to help nurses comprehend patients. Understanding psychology assists nurses with communication, decision making, and helping patients cope with challenges like loss and adapt to changes in a healthy way. A nurse's grasp of biological processes and how they influence behavior and mental state is also crucial for effectively delivering care to patients.
