Data was collected using observational technique and checklist designed by the researcher. The instrument was validated and reliability established with the use of Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Same was corrected with Spearman Brown prophecy formula. The reliability coefficient ranged from 0.810-0.990. Analysis was done using descriptive statistics which involve proportion, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and weighted mean. Findings of the study revealed that nurses from Federal School of Psychiatric Nursing, Calabar fairly utilize their nursing process and had overall good performance in creating an atmosphere of trust, which allows for meeting the patient’s basic emotional needs. It was therefore concluded that nurses utilized nursing process in providing comprehensive mental health nursing care to individuals and families whether at primary, secondary or tertiary healthcare settings.
