L’exercice infirmier en équipe mobile de psychiatrie du sujet âgé

Abstract

Since 2015, the mobile old age psychiatry team of the Maison-Blanche public health facility has been providing mental health and psychiatric services to the population aged 70 and over in three districts of Paris and four psychiatric sectors. The team s nurses actively take part in delivering care in the home and in maintaining the autonomy of elderly patients suffering from mental health disorders. They provide global care, both somatic and psychiatric, and offer, through their assessments, an initial response to the suffering expressed by the patients and their family.
