Positive psychology pioneers: Mihaly Csiksentmihalyi's potential to influence mental health nursing

“

Csikszentmihalyi used his insight to assist others in developing their capacity for happiness and contentment. He has inspired countless other academics to continue his work and acknowledge the experience of flow. He has shared his own moments of flow, enriching humanity with extended understanding of the human condition and wellbeing. Mental health nurses with high levels of wellbeing are essential to the effective functioning of care services. They will bring stability, continue to develop strong collaborative associations, are more likely to think creatively, be adaptable and have occupational longevity. They are more likely to role-model self-confidence and demonstrate leadership qualities when in flow states. This can only benefit clinical teams and the organisation overall.
