Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
f f f f f f f f
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
f f f f f f f f f f f f
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or
f f f f f f f f f f f f
stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
f f f f f f f f f f f f
separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f
a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.

f f f f f f f f f f f
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always unacceptable in f f f f f f f f f f f f f

f f f f f f f f f f f f
see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and
f f f f f f f f f f
coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies
f f f f f f f f f f f
may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.

4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
f f f f f f f f f f f
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much
f f f f f f f f f f f f
pain.î f
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
experienced.î f
C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband'sf f f f f f f f f
death?î f
D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.î
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Ans: B
f f
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
f f f f f f f f
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
f f f f f f f f f f f
mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's
f f f f f f f f f f f f
concerns.
