From Care to Motion: Physical Activity Advice in Mental Health Nursing Practice—A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study
While mental health nurses in Germany recognise the importance of physical activity and frequently recommend it in their mental health nursing practice, gaps in training and implementation remain. Targeted educational interventions and structural support are essential to enhance the quality and consistency of physical activity promotion in mental health nursing. These findings can inform tailored strategies to empower nurses and ultimately improve health outcomes for individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
