Abstract

Psychiatry clinics have a high importance for treatment of psychological problems. In some cases, individuals can stay in the inpatient treatment units after having being diagnosed a mental illness. Only Ergun [1] gives information about the physical status of psychiatry clinics, educational status and the number of the healthcare personnel in Turkey in her master thesis. For that reason, obtaining data for therapeutic milieu of the psychiatry clinics in Turkey will contribute to the development of contemporary psychiatry approach. This research is cross-sectional and definitive. Survey form of 42 questions has been prepared in the research. The data has been collected between the dates of 15th July–25th June by the researcher. The sampling involves all hospitals having psychiatry clinics in Turkey ( n =195). As a result of the research, it is found that psychiatry clinics in Turkey are not sufficient in terms of some of the therapeutic milieu features and sufficient for some. The nurses actively participate in the clinic activities. The interview room, dining hall and recreational rooms in the clinics are not sufficient. The group therapy, sweet day activities and sport activities are not conducted sufficiently. The researchers suggest developing the psychiatry clinics in terms of therapeutic milieu.
