Purpose:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a peer education program on nursing students' beliefs toward mental illnesses and their career choices. DESIGN AND METHODS: This one-group quasi-experimental study was conducted with 95 undergraduate nursing students.
Findings:
The peer education program positively affected nursing students' beliefs toward mental illnesses (p < 0.005). It was determined that the students preferred psychiatric nursing more as a career field after the peer education program. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Peer education programs may be a part of the nursing curriculum in combating stigma toward mental illnesses.
