Parents of children with chronic mental diseases face several difficulties that could adversely affect their overall well-being (Chen et al., 2019). The stigma attached to mental illness, a lack of information and understanding, and social and cultural factors are frequently blamed for these difficulties. The stigma and lack of comprehension cause people and families affected by mental illness to be excluded, which makes their situation even more challenging (Chen et al., 2019). The unequal treatment of families with mental illness results from this lack of recognition of mental illness as a severe medical condition, which causes stress and worries for parents. Nurses or other professionals may offer different kinds of assistance, from individual support to social networks, to give these parents the support they need. However, the success of these initiatives depends on the particular circumstance and the degree of community support.

Getting help from experts like nurses can have a variety of impacts. One such effect is decreased tension and depression among parents of children with chronic mental illnesses (Chen et al., 2019). These experts make it simpler for such parents to get their children the services they need to function daily. Without this assistance, most parents of children with chronic mental illnesses would experience considerable tension while attempting to access the required services. In this case, nurses can significantly assist by informing parents about advocate programs like behavioral and developmental therapies (Chen et al., 2019). By offering this kind of assistance, parents can lessen their stress and anxiety and enhance their general quality of life.

Furthermore, it can be easy to obtain the resources their children require to receive the assistance they require. In order to ensure that the best possible care is provided, professionals such as nurses can also assist parents of children with chronic mental disorders in developing the coping mechanisms required to deal with any behavioral patterns that their children may display. This lowers stress while also improving the quality of treatment.

Contrarily, there are numerous ways to give social support to parents of children with ongoing mental health issues through interpersonal interactions and social networks (Wilberforce et al., 2020). Such parents supposedly experience fewer isolation-related disadvantages. Due to the increased hours, they must spend caring for their children, parents of mentally ill children frequently feel isolated. These parents can find a feeling of inclusion in social networks as well as emotional and practical support from other parents in comparable situations through these networks (Bradshaw et al., 2019Additionally, positive interpersonal interactions between parents of chronically ill children and their relatives and acquaintances can benefit the parent’s emotional health and the care of the ill child (Bradshaw et al., 2019). On the other hand, poor relationships with family members can be bad for the emotional health of the adult and the ill child.

In conclusion, social support is crucial to a parent’s general well-being when their child has a chronic mental illness. Professionals, social networks, and meaningful relationships give parents the mental and physical support they need, enabling better stress and anxiety management. This allows them to help their kid deal with their condition and provide better care.

Practitioner or nursing-provided support network can supplement human relationships and social systems with a level of competence and direction that may be lacking in the latter. Professionals in the discipline of sociology and nursing, as well as those in related fields, have unique perspectives and insights to provide on how to best care for a person with a mental condition. Accessibility to such experts can aid parents in navigating the challenging environment of monitoring their child’s disease while offering vital comfort and support during hard moments. Nonetheless, interpersonal connections and social networks are crucial. In contrast to their interactions with experts, parents may find solace and acceptance in these groups. They could serve as just a judgment- and the shame-free zone where families can share their thoughts and feelings freely. Often, Family, colleagues, and other supportive services can offer helpful guidance and support based on personal experiences that expert practitioners would lack (Douma et al., 2020).

Reassurance, material assistance, and the dissemination of information are the three primary types of social support. The well-being of the parents’ social networking sites has a direct bearing on the parents’ own health. In addition to finding qualified medical professionals, concerned parents can utilize social media to learn more about available treatment options, communicate with a variety of counselors, and more. While it’s true that some parents like using social media, it’s important to remember that their time is limited. Parental anxiety and sadness can be mitigated with the support of good personal interactions that allow parents to connect with peers and impart knowledge about their problems. Instrumental assistance from family and other relatives is a huge help to these parents, who are already carrying a heavy load as it is (Bauer et al., 2021).

Summarizing, parent of a child with mental disease may find social media to be a helpful resource. There are many places on the internet where parents can go to get help and guidance. Meeting other parents who are going through the same things they are can be a great source of comfort and understanding. Social media also makes it easier to stay abreast of developments and new research in the field of mental health care.

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

· Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.

· Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

POST

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?
