Introduction
Physical illness is the most common issue among people that mainly classified with different
mental illness. Sometimes. The organization of health service, community always supports for
giving a better option and consider as contributing factor to premature mortality. In order to
analysis the current poor physical condition of situation of people. Through this article, it is
mainly reflects on the developing interdisciplinary and other collaboration between different
practitioners and researcher who will concern about the mental health condition of people. The
health service community will be observed the current health condition of people on the basis of
every day practice (Robson, Haddad and Gournay, 2013). Its primary purpose of this paper is to
represent the poorer quality of physical health care among consumer. In order to proposed the
better facilities and propose the shortage in term of health care services. Furthermore, it also
addressed the nurse-led physical health check through health care program or event in Australia.
Outline article
Firstly, the paper will describe about physical health state of people with SMI and
identify the reason where increasing the issues or problem in Australia. According to researchers
and other practitioners. It will be increasing due to short fall in attention and not properly
determine physical dimension of consumers. Moreover, it will outline the problem and how it
will maintain the quality of health care. Sometimes, it may be identified through clarifying the
significant role of nurses. In particularly, Many medical professional initiative from UK where
they were successfully design to improve or control the physical health issues, considered the
role of mental health nurses which are primarily applied to Australia. Therefore, it will concern
about the current mental health nurse which are generally a part of multidisciplinary mental
health workforce. In this paper, it will be treating the person by using Psychotropic medications
which automatically generated as increase in BMI. In some situation, it indicates the correlates a
well as precursors of particular metabolic syndrome. The people with mental illness that have
higher prevalence of smoking which directly impact on the physical health condition. it must
take a lower level of nutrition intake as well as exercise than other without mental illness.
There will be extensive international evidence that people with server of mental illness and
they have become a lower standards in term of physical heath among large population. In order
to increase the high morbidity as well as mortality rates. Moreover, many people are faced health
issue or problem. Yet physical requirement of peoples are neglected by other health care system
3

in Australia. Therefore, many other medical specialists are clearly participate as integral role to
remedying this manner. The nurses are becoming well place which plays important role in
focused prevention as well as early intervention. The article will outline the specific on how
mental health nurse will be sensitized, empowered as well as prepared which help for turn into
serious health problem around. In particularly, this nurse will support for other patient and
completely utilise new physical health check in order to response system in Australia.
Afterwards, it will be introduced and then its value to improve health condition.
Summary
Apart from that it has summarised the well-known internationally which mainly focused
on the poorer health and determine the situation of early death in people who have been suffered
from mental illness. It is becoming a major form of inequality and also increase discrimination
among people (Williams, Sevdalis and Gaughran, 2019). The article has been suggested that
lower level of physical health directly associated with mental illness because of inadequate
quality of care. Difference nurses, a group of professional at the certain stage of mental as well
as physical health. It is important to plays important role for lifting the significant standards of
physical care. It also proposed that nurse and health team can maintain or improve the quality of
physical care among people. In order to perform different role for checking physical symptoms
with other medical practitioner. There are many health professional provide the better physical
health advice to maintain or control diets.
Description of personal feeling in relation to article.
In related to article, I have been shared the feeling or experience of mental illness which
are likely to have a physical illness. I have found that many people who do not know about
causes which directly affect on the physical health condition. According to me, it is important for
identifying the common cause of mortality cardiovascular diseases. I have analysed about the
different issues that become associated with premature mortality. Furthermore, I have
determined the different factors that may account for physical as well as mental health condition.
In most of case, it will be increasing cultural issues which directly impact on the health care
(Barnhart and et.al., 2020). I have been personal experience through article where poorer
physical health of multiple consumers who will suffer from chronic disease which becoming part
of their life. In particular problem are not diagnosis in right time but it become dangerous for
human health condition. This article give me a brief idea about the significant role of nurses. I
4

have found that nurses represent as largest profession in Australia where they will provide better
quality of health care services. In my personal experiences, nurses are becoming knowledgeable
in mental health issues. I have learn so many thing about the nurse which are becoming well
suited to focus prevention and early intervention in the physical well-being. I have determined
the approaches which mainly introducing the different program or event to utilise the unique
capabilities of nurses. As per personal experience, it has been developed the confidence about the
mental health issues and identify significant role of professionals which easily handle the certain
condition.
Analysis of issues in this article.
In this article, it is focused on the cultural as well a systematic issues which always
provision of health care. These issues will be considering the behavioural as well as biological
factors which are relevant to the poorer physical health condition of consumers. I have been
shared the experience whereas undiagnosed diseases which automatically increases the physical
risk screening and detection. Some negative stereotypes of people with mental illness that mainly
held by other health professionals. As encountered the cultural problem through diagnosed with
mental illness (Sickel, Seacat and Nabors, 2019). At that time it should be considered the social
stigma towards the mental health issues and also associated with the other discrimination.
Afterwards, I have analysed that opinion of people those are suffering from the mental illness
whereas they cannot easily open with other members. Through previous learning, I have built
own understanding towards significant role of among mental health issues. It is becoming
important for identifying specific need and requirement of person so that it can easily adapt the
current situation in proper manner. I have realised that mental health clinicians are concerned on
the recording, observing and responding to server mental health stress. In this way, it has
drastically lower the physical need of mental illness people. As increasing the negative aspects of
long-term psychotropic medication which automatically reduce the social activities. As a result,
it can easily manage or control the fragmentation in mental health while improving its physical
activities.
I have found the physical illness which become consider the most common issue among
people. In another way, it can be classified into multiple server mental illness. This is also cause
of mortality so as required to identify issue or problem at right time. As per analysis, this article
will help for me to improve knowledge about the mental health role which providing the better
5

prevention activities. I have realised that physical illness directly affect on the mental health
condition because both are establishing coordination between them.
Apart from that it become clear cut neglect of human right for people with server mental
illness. In order to find out the observation that overlooked physical morbidity exacerbates which
directly impact on the mental illness. In this way, it is important for considerable relationship
among physical activities and mental health. Nurses uses their mental role for increasing
awareness that level of customer with server mental illness. It became opportunity to manage and
improve the physical health condition.
Moreover, I have been understanding the mental health care which provided by nurses,
professional for enhancing physical care (Sickel, Seacat and Nabors, 2019). It is surprising that
should be including the programmes or event available that can enhance the current potential
condition. I have determined the different variety of initiative that easily emerged within policy
on mental as well as physical comorbidity. In this way, I have clearly understanding the concept
of mental health care and also control or manage between people or nurses.
Outline the change in understanding and behaviour as a result through article.
In this article, I have been changing the behaviour or understanding towards physical
health issue that would be improving through prevention. According to health improvement
profile, it has been established the better physical care of mental health people. It is mainly
focused on designing the practices, guideline which become highly transferable. It consists of
physical screening tool or platform that provide the facilities and service. The mental health
nurses are using in the particular person with customers. In order to check their physical
attributes by using HIP interview and other type of signals which mainly provided by
professionals (Sickel, Seacat and Nabors, 2019). Furthermore, I have realised that it become
important for person to understand their need or requirement. Afterwards, it can easily examine
the current physical condition of person. This will help for me to change the perception towards
the physical illness. It has been established the relationship with mental health care. So as I have
improved the learning capabilities through this article which is clear all doubt in proper manner.
In this article, it has determined the medical professional use health improvement profile
to examine the overall mental health condition of person. Initially, it is primarily analysis
through clinical of HIP which has shown the better result or outcome. Article has represented the
current scenario while immediate evaluation is not well controlled or maintained. In this way, it
6

has chances to effect the social desirability. As per analysis, it can easily find the result when
initiative or strategies increase lot of attention to physical elements in term of health care. Again,
nurse may engage with the reality of lack of access in term physical risk identification.
Furthermore, it is also monitoring the current health care problem.
In Australia, it emphasize the physical care of multiple group. However, it would be
require to be more consistency across the world. Moreover, it has been recommended that
implement randomized trial by using Health improvement profile as intervention. After studying,
it has examined the collaborative work between different researchers in UK (Robson, Haddad
and Gournay, 2013). In Australia, it has been suggested that may be adapted and established the
prevention approach in term of improvement. The primary aim of article that establishing
physical health care through HIP and also evaluating the processes in proper manner. It has
rapidly changing the behaviour underway into how different healthcare team can be designed in
proper manner. The article has been responding towards physical requirement which including
innovative approach under certain health care intervention.
Explanation of learning from this article and contribute to professional nursing practice.
As per learning from this article that may always contribute to professional nursing
practice. In order to identify the role of nurse in physical care which providing the brief idea for
person to enhance the career in nurses professions. I have has been used this article to improve
understanding which may defined significant role of nurses. Arguably, there are different
potential problems or issues in positioning mental health which directly coordinate with person
in term of physical health care. Initially, I have been identified the certain risk of excessive
workload because it directly relates to the nurse health and health care performance. As learning
the multiple skill and knowledge for controlling the high workload in proper manner (Robson,
Haddad and Gournay, 2013). It became considerably if there are expectation for further role of
nurses.
However, it is conditional on the level which always supports of nurses rather than
implication of added more workloads. It is an essential for conducting the programmes through
health improvement profile which may easily decrease the workload. Apart from that it can be
achieved by clarifying nurses’ role, providing a great reference to improve the understanding. In
future, it supports for adapting the significant role to enhance the career in nurses’ professions.

Moreover, it assert the physical care role of mental health nurses, it is needs to be more
important to understand the profession about nurse and its practices. Afterwards, I will easily
achieve the personal goal and objective. This article will suggest that ready to adopt the nursing
professional but it will require to make short-term plan and take a proper training. I have learning
about the nurse that should give a more opportunities into further skills (Robson, Haddad and
Gournay, 2013). In this way, it can easily working with other psychiatrist, team members,
families, consumers and other local governance. They were providing the better physical care in
proper manner. Afterward, I have been improved own learning capabilities where finding mental
health care nurse that would need to be resourced.
In my personal experience, I have been appointed with the additional position which
describing the significant in their role so that it easily achieve target issues (Robson, Haddad and
Gournay, 2013). This article has considered as a great opportunities for me to understand nursing
practices. in order to improve own skill or knowledge. In another way, I have considered the
appropriate skill which always supports for achieving the specific goal. It is becoming great
opportunities to deals with different team members and other person who are suffering from
physical illness.
Literature to support argument
As per evidence by Dickens and et.al. (2019) people with server mental illness that have
become a lower standards in their physical health among large population. Both mental as well
as physical health are related to each other. In order to lead the high morbidity as well as
mortality rates. It can be determined various causes if people face issues in term of poor physical
health. In this way, it has increases the modifiable. In recently, it has neglected the physical
requirement of people through health care system in Australia. Different medical specialist are
performed the significant role which considerable as integral part of remedy. The author has
described the significant role of nurse which mainly focused on the various prevention activities.
Sometimes, it also include early intervention in term of physical well-being of different
consumers. In order to reduce the level of mental stress and eliminate the specific problems.
According to Coates and et.al. (2019) People with a mental disorder which easily
diagnosis of increasing the risk of all-cause mortality than other population. The major risk is
that when changing the behavior of person who will be suffering from disorder. Accordingly, the
physical health of people with mental illness which give more prioritized and always focused on
8

the specific guideline. Nowadays, medical nurses, professionals are conducting the program or
event that must support for providing the opportunities where people can reduce their stress
level. Otherwise it directly affecting on the physical activities. In this way, it is important for
making a specific policies, guideline which are necessary pre-requisite of change and implement
in practices. Therefore, it is positively improve the current condition while eliminating key
barrier during prevention. Furthermore, it is identified that people may attention towards issues
related attitude or knowledge among nurses. It can play important role in physical health care,
provision and also developed the better assessment to control the mental illness.
As per conducting the research literature about the mental health experience among nurse
which providing the better physical health care service to people. Initially, it acquired all
knowledge, skills and positive attitude which supports for generating positive result or outcome.
The effectiveness of interventions which primary aim to improve the changing mental health
condition. Afterwards, nurses can easily identified the accurate result or outcome. Initially, nurse
in this role assess towards patient while developing treatment plan, coordinate with team
members in resource identification. In order manage the all process in step by step manner.
As per Lerbæk and et.al. (2019) Psychiatric mental health nurse at becoming consider as
important part which handle the critical condition or situation. At the certain level, it initiatives
both direct and indirect care role within manage entire healthcare system. Nurse is important part
for giving the mental health discipline so that person can easily reduce pain of physical illness. It
also established the coordination with health staff members and every one combined with
biopsychosocial knowledge, physical as well as psychiatric skill with intrinsic perspectives. It
encountered the current situation while evaluating the complex condition in proper manner.
Nurses assess the better treatment policies and determine the consequence of physical illness by
using health improvement profile. It providing the brief idea about the current health condition of
people and afterwards, it become easier to understand the need and requirement of patient in
proper manner. As evidence through nurses association, endorses are being utilization of
psychiatric mental health nurse because these are highly qualifies professional knowledge and
participants in the direct or indirect care. As needs to manage the health care where many people
believed that professional monitor the activities of physical or mental illness person by using
equipment. In this way, it can easily assure that its original objective which are fulfil the
requirements. While it is great possibility of nursing performed different activities on the basis of
9

service setting and other geographical location. There are various advancement of technologies
which supports for developing better practices of nurse and they can assume a lot of roles in
managed within health care service system. In another way, it also identified that nurse with
multiple level in term of service preparation and then providing the best service on the basis of
contracted practices. The primary care provider which are independently give therapy to
individual according to the illness.
