Mental health nurses are best placed as front\u2010line workers to offer screening, monitoring and interventions; however, their views on physical care interventions are not studied often.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative exploratory study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was carried out in a mental health inpatient centre in England. Volunteer sampling was adopted for the study with a total target sample of (<jats:italic>n\u00a0<\/jats:italic>=\u00a020) nurses from three inpatient wards. Semistructured interviews were conducted with (<jats:italic>n\u00a0<\/jats:italic>=\u00a010) registered mental health nurses who had consented to take part in the study. Inductive data analysis and theme development were guided by a thematic analytic framework.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants shared a clear commitment regarding their role regarding physical health screening and monitoring in mental health settings. Four themes emerged as follows: features of current practice and physical health monitoring; perceived barriers to physical health monitoring; education and training needs; and strategies to improve physical health monitoring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nurses were unequivocal in their resolve to ensure good standard physical health monitoring and screening interventions in practice. However, identified obstacles have to be addressed to ensure that physical health screening and monitoring is integrated adequately in everyday clinical activities. Achieving this would require improvements in nurses\u2019 training, and an integrated multiservice and team\u2010working approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Attending to the physical health needs of people with serious mental illness has been associated with multiple improvements in both mental and physical health; nurses have a vital role to play in identifying and addressing causes of poor physical health to improve physical health outcomes in people with serious mental illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,22]],"date-time":"2016-11-22T17:15:40Z","timestamp":1479834940000},"page":"3067-3078","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Physical health monitoring in mental health settings: a study exploring mental health nurses\u2019 views of their role"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Herbert","family":"Mwebe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health, Social Work and Integrative Medicine Middlesex University London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"Interpretative Phenomenology: Embodiment, Caring and Ethics in Health and Disease","author":"Benner P","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0010-440X(94)90232-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0349.2011.00792.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291798008186"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2009.11.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.schres.2005.04.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","volume-title":"NHS and Social Care Funding: The Outlook to 2021\/22","author":"Crawford R","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eurpsy.2009.01.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2051-5545.2011.tb00036.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5172\/conu.2006.21.1.43"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","unstructured":"Department of Health 2006 Department of Health London"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","volume-title":"Analysis of General Household Survey\/General Lifestyle Survey Data, Office for National Statistics","author":"Department of Health","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","unstructured":"Disability Rights Commission(2005)Disability Briefing.DRC London."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2009.08.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0349.2011.00799.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2013.01.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.12371"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11892-010-0112-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.161.12.2317"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1614.2003.01264.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.schres.2015.07.052"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","volume-title":"Clearing the Air: Debating Smoke\u2010Free Policies in Psychiatric Units","author":"Jochelson J","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","unstructured":"Kings Fund(2013)Leading Health Care in London Time for a Radical Response.
