Summary
A Work-Learning Program (WLP) effectively supports psychiatric nurses
Area of Science:
- Psychiatric Nursing
- Workforce Development
- Academic-Practice Partnerships
Background:
- The psychiatric nursing field faces recruitment, training, and retention challenges.
- A Work-Learning Program (WLP) offers a potential solution within academic-practice partnerships.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility of implementing a WLP for psychiatric nurses.
- To support academic and career development for psychiatric nurses.
Main Methods:
- A feasibility, post-test-only study was conducted at a state psychiatric hospital.
- The WLP incorporated mentorship, a dedicated learning space, and academic resources.
- Feasibility outcomes included nurse engagement, academic/career achievements, EBP adoption, retention, and costs.
Main Results:
- Eight nurses participated (4 RN to BSN, 4 DNP) with high engagement and perceived benefits.
- Academic completion rates were 80% (RN to BSN) and 100% (DNP).
- High employment retention (87.5%), career advancements, and evidence-based practice adoption were observed, supported by organizational financial investment.
Conclusions:
- Implementing a WLP is feasible and effective for psychiatric nurse development.
- WLPs enhance psychiatric nursing skills, workforce stability, and evidence-based practice.
- This model contributes to improved patient care through a stable, skilled nursing workforce.

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.
