A blended learning program improved nursing students' knowledge and confidence in mental health care. However, it did not significantly change attitudes or empathy towards individuals with mental health challenges within one semester.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Mental Health Nursing
- Service User Involvement
Background:
- Negative perceptions among nursing students towards mental health challenges can impact care quality.
- There is a need for effective mental health nursing education to foster competent professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop, introduce, and validate a blended learning program involving service users in mental health nursing education in South Korea.
- To assess the program's impact on nursing students' attitudes, empathy, knowledge, satisfaction, and confidence.
Main Methods:
- A 6-week blended learning program incorporating service user involvement was implemented.
- An experimental group participated in the program, while a control group received traditional education.
- TREND guidelines were followed for reporting the study.
Main Results:
- The experimental group showed significant increases in knowledge, satisfaction, and confidence in mental health nursing.
- Attitudes and empathy towards individuals with mental health challenges did not significantly differ between groups post-intervention.
- The program improved certain aspects of nursing students' understanding and confidence but not immediate attitudinal shifts.
Conclusions:
- A single-semester service user involvement program can enhance mental health nursing knowledge and confidence.
- Longer-term strategies and improved public perception are necessary to foster significant changes in student attitudes and empathy.
- Diverse and systematically planned mental health nursing education programs are recommended.
