Can educational methods influence the popularity of psychiatric nursing?

Attitudes, knowledge, and opinions regarding mental health among undergraduate nursing students

“…Although the differences between students at UEL and UEM are not entirely clear, the statistical tests suggest that students from both universities gave different responses for the factor Benevolence, and by revisiting the discussion on the theoretical foundation of instruction and learning in mental health (10)(11) , we can develop the hypothesis that the differences indicated by the tests are linked to the teaching-learning process or even to sociodemographic differences (25) .…”

Effects of the Psychiatric Nursing Course on Students' Attitudes Towards Mental Illnesses, Perceptions of Psychiatric Nursing and Career Choices

“…Researchers have indicated that PBL is an education method that can affect the development of positive attitudes. 11 In a study conducted in three different nursing schools, it was observed that the nursing students' perceptions of psychiatric nursing and their attitudes towards mental illnesses in the school following the PBL method were better than were those of the students attending schools with classical education methods. 1 Although there was a positive change in the students' perception of psychiatric nursing after the clinical experience this result was not statistically significant.…”

Development of a structured on-site nursing program for training nurse specialists in rheumatology

“…Despite the increasing appreciation for the need of the post of NSp [10][11][12] and the existence of postgraduate courses, musculoskeletal training is limited under the undergraduate nursing curriculum in the UK [13,14]. Experience from other specialties showed that exposure to specialized services and experience gained during undergraduate training resulted in increased recruitment in psychiatry [15], while the abolition of placements in the undergraduate nursing curriculum resulted in reduced recruitment rates in theater nurses. Based on the above Wndings, and because undergraduate nurses are not exposed to the Weld of rheumatology, this lack of knowledge results in a lack of challenge and interest in the specialty; consequently, there is an undersupply of potentially interested nursing staV to undertake the "important" role of NSp although a series of options and potential solutions to this problem have been suggested [16].…”
