The psychiatric knowledge and skills of forty six nurses working in a general hospital in Bangalore, India were evaluated objectively using Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) and case vignettes. The results revealed that these general nurses had less than satisfactory mental health knowledge and skills. The findings highlighted the need for systematic in-service training for nursing staff in mental health problems.
