Summary
The "This is me" intervention significantly improved nursing students' mental health knowledge and empathy while reducing anxiety and stigma associated with mental illness. This enhances their readiness for effective patient care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Mental Health Stigma
- Psychoeducational Interventions
Background:
- Traditional stigma education for nursing students yields only temporary attitude improvements.
- Critical and self-reflection are crucial for enhancing nursing students' attitudes, beliefs, and learning satisfaction regarding mental illness.
- Existing research lacks focus on comprehensive interventions addressing mental illness stigma in nursing education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the "This is me" psychoeducational intervention.
- To assess the intervention's impact on knowledge, attitudes, and communication skills of nursing students concerning mental illness stigma.
- To enhance senior undergraduate nursing students' ability to respond to mental illness-related stigma.
Main Methods:
- A psychoeducational intervention was implemented for 37 senior undergraduate nursing students.
- Pre- and post-intervention questionnaire surveys assessed changes using validated instruments (MICA-4, MAKS, JSPE-S, IAS, AQ-27).
- Data collection occurred between May 16 and July 15, 2022, during clinical psychiatric training.
Main Results:
- Significant increases in mental health knowledge (MAKS) and empathy, particularly Perspective Taking (JSPE).
- Statistically significant reductions in intergroup anxiety (IAS) and negative perceptions of patients (AQ27-Dangerousness, AQ27-Fear).
- The intervention positively influenced key indicators related to mental illness stigma among nursing students.
Conclusions:
- The "This is me" program enhances mental health literacy and combats stigma in nursing students.
- Improved knowledge and attitudes can foster better therapeutic relationships and communication with individuals with mental illness.
- The intervention shows potential for improving care practices in psychiatric nursing.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.3K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
