Abstract
Aims: To examine the relationship between the dimensions of evidence-based prac-
tice and the therapeutic relationship and to predict the quality of the therapeutic
relationship from these dimensions among nurses working in mental health units.
Design: A cross-sectional design.
Methods: Data were collected between February–April 2018 via an online form com-
pleted by nurses working at 18 mental health units. Multiple linear regressions were
used to examine the relationship between the dimensions of evidence-based prac-
tice and therapeutic relationship. Questionnaires were completed by 198 nurses.
Results: Higher levels of evidence-based practice were a significant predictor of a
higher-quality therapeutic relationship (β: 2.276; 95% CI: 1.30–3.25). The evidence-
based practice factor which most influenced an improved therapeutic relationship
was the nurses’ attitude (β: 2.047; 95% CI: 0.88–3.21). The therapeutic relationship
dimension which was most conditioned by evidence-based practice dimensions was
agreement on tasks, which was most favourable with a better attitude (β: 0.625;
95% CI: 0.09–1.16) and greater knowledge and skills for evidence-based practice (β:
0.500; 95% CI: 0.08–0.93).
Conclusion: In mental health settings, the therapeutic nurse–patient relationship is
positively enhanced by evidenced-based practice and the nurse’s level of experience,

C H A P T E R 4 ■ Psychopharmacology 59

One of the Quality and Safety in Nursing Educa-
tion (QSEN) criteria identified by the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) (2003) stresses that the patient

must be at the center of decisions about treatment
(patient-centered care), and this type of assessment tool
provides an opportunity to actively engage the patient in
describing what medications have been effective or inef-
fective and identifying side effects that may impact will-
ingness to adhere to a medication regimen.

Antianxiety Agents
Background Assessment Data
Indications
Antianxiety drugs are also called anxiolytics and his-
torically were referred to as minor tranquilizers. They
are used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, anxiety
