Ainsi on y dénote de l’ambiguïté, liée au manque de clarté des missions de son service et de précision dans leur rôle, faisant qu’ils en sont parfois désabusés. Ce qui révèle aussi que le problème pour les diverses catégories de personnel infirmier soit beaucoup lié au manque de définition précise

use disorders. In low-and middle-income countries, more than 75% of people with mental disorders receive no treatment at all for their disorder. During 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, 93% of countries reported their mental health services were either halted or interrupted (WHO, 2020e). WHO reported a 25% increase in depression and anxiety alone during the pandemic. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates depression and anxiety cost the global economy US $1 trillion dollars a year. All nurses have a health care role in mental health and substance use. ICN strongly advocates for the investment of further education and professional development in this area in order to support individuals and communities achieve the highest attainable standard of health which includes
physical, mental and social wellbeing.
