Shows enhanced nurse confidence in treating mental health disorders, indicating better patient care.
Treatment nonadherence (TN) adversely affects patient outcomes, particularly among those with mental health disorders (MHDs) (Alcalá et al., 2022; Levin et al., 2020; Velligan et al., 2017). According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (2025), 23% of the U.S. population experienced MHDs in 2024, with depression being the most common. The suicide risk was 56% higher with moderate-prognosis cancers, 5 times higher with poor-prognosis cancers, and as much as 16 times higher with severe MHDs (Kahn et al., 2023).
