Background:

Nurse-patient dynamics are significantly influenced by nursing staff attitudes.
Understanding these attitudes is crucial for improving patient care and therapeutic relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of persuasion and simulation gaming on nurses' attitudes toward mental illness.
To examine the influence of these interventions on attitudes toward aging.
To investigate the role of locus of control in treatment responsiveness.

Main Methods:

Comparative study employing persuasion and simulation gaming in group settings.
Utilized analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate analysis.
Assessed attitudes using the opinions about mental illness scale and attitudes toward old people scale.

Related Experiment Videos

Measured locus of control orientation.

Main Results:

A significant difference was found in one factor (interpersonal etiology) of the opinions about mental illness scale.
Multivariate analysis confirmed this significant difference.
No significant differences were observed in attitudes toward old people or locus of control.

Conclusions:

Persuasion and simulation gaming interventions can influence specific aspects of nurses' attitudes toward mental illness.
These interventions did not significantly alter attitudes toward aging or locus of control.
Further research may explore tailored interventions for broader attitudinal shifts.
