Mental health nursing practice and delivery has changed significantly over the past two decades in caring for young people and people from different cultures. Critically analyse how these changes have affected the clinical and psychosocial outcomes for ONE of these groups.

NOTE: you are to choose EITHER (1) caring for young people or (2) caring for people of different cultures. DO NOT cover both in the one essay.

As a guide, in order to answer this essay question, the completed essay should give the reader an understanding of what the practice changes have been for your chosen population. You should then lead into a critically analysis of how these changes have affected the population in consideration of the clinical and psychosocial outcomes. Evidence to support this should be critically analysed rather than described and should be based on primary sources of literature. The essay should be written in professional, academic language, include an introduction and conclusion and should adhere to APA 6th referencing guidelines. Dot points and first person writing (including personal opinion) should not be used in a University essay.
