Objectives: This study aimed to determine the missed nursing care needs in psychiatric clinics. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 155 nurses working in psychiatric clinics between March and May 2023. Data were collected using the "Personal Information Form" and "The MISSCARE Survey-Turkish." Results: The mean score of missed nursing care needs (Part A) was 21.34±9.91. The primary reasons for missed nursing care were identified as insufficient labor, material deficiencies, and lack of communication. Gender and the mean number of patients cared for during day and night shifts were found to be associated with missed nursing care needs. Additionally, gender, working in rotation, allocating sufficient time for care, perceived competence in psychiatric nursing practice, and participation in a certificate program were associated with the reasons of missed nursing care services. Conclusion: The study revealed that various factors contribute to missed care needs among nurses working in psychiatric clinics. Managerial interventions that strengthen patient safety culture and foster a positive work environment are essential to reducing missed nursing care.
