The document discusses implementing a Therapy in Nursing Initiative using Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in an acute inpatient psychiatric setting. Nurses were trained on SFBT principles and techniques. A survey found that nurses felt SFBT could be safely incorporated and help create collaborative, goal-oriented care. The initiative aims to continue training nurses and monitoring how SFBT is used to provide psychosocial interventions for patients.
