―20―Psychiatric and MentalHealth NursingFor users’ safety and security in mental health settingsIn psychiatric and mental health nursing practice, it is said that interpersonal relationships are important and are central to a mature personality and good mental health. However, sometimes dysfunction can occur with the development of maladaptive behavior. I am studying interpersonal behaviors in order to understand what happens between patient and nurses. Currently, I am researching “Interpersonal Circumplex (IPC)”, which is a model for conceptualizing interpersonal behavior. All interpersonal behaviors are summarized into 8 characteristics (e.g. dominant, submissive, cold, warm, etc.) in the interpersonal circumplex.
