There is substantial evidence that people (service users) living with a serious mental illness experience poorer physical health than the general population and die prematurely from life-threatening illnesses. Mental health nurses are best placed to address the physical health needs of service users but evidence points to numerous challenges, including a deficit in their proficiency to meet these needs. Nurse education and mental health services are being reshaped to better equip nurses with the skill set to meet the care needs of service users. The aim of the present study was to gain an in-depth insight into final-year mental health nursing students' views (MHNS) of their preparation to address the physical health needs of service users. Using a qualitative exploratory approach, the views of final-year MHNS learning experiences of physical care were explored through a focus group and in-depth interviews. The focus group generated broad issues, which were then explored in semistructured, individual interviews. The transcribed audio-taped data were analysed using a framework approach to identify the emerging key themes. The themes identified were the comprehensiveness of physical care content, delivery and method of teaching, exposure to physical care in practice, and confidence to address physical health needs. The findings of the present study indicate that there is a need to enhance both the theoretical and practical components of preregistration education for MHNS on physical care.

“…26,27 Furthermore, a number of studies had discussed positive benefits when students were taught from a lived experience perspective. 15,28 However, unfortunately merely 37.3% of the participants supported the involvement of persons with mental illness as academic in psychiatric courses. These findings were similar to previous research.…”

“…9 However, research that examined the influence of education on health care professionals' attitudes towards consumer participation in mental health care is limited. 15 Further, training process could be the right time to influence upcoming health professionals' beliefs and attitudes to support consumer participation in mental health services. Therefore, current research was carried out to understand the views and perceptions of medical and nursing undergraduates regarding consumer involvement in mental health services.…”

Attitudes toward consumer involvement in mental health services: A cross-sectional survey of Indian medical and nursing undergraduates

“…To-date, the literature suggests that consumer involvement in education is very limited in both depth and breadth (Hussain, Rivers, Glover, & Fottler, 2012) even though it is clearly stated as an expectation of Australian mental health policy (Happell, 1998b). Consumer involvement in education has been evaluated positively in both undergraduate Happell et al, 2013;The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council, 2012) and postgraduate nursing programmes (Happell, 1998b;Preston, 2009). The current research supports these findings and suggests academic roles for consumers are both beneficial and viable.…”

The literature demonstrates the problems mental health nursing has faced in securing sufficient graduate nurses to meet current and projected workforce needs. Deficiencies in educational preparation have been identified as a significant contributing factor. A major stream in mental health nursing has been introduced into undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing programmes as one strategy to address this problem. To-date, 11 streams have been introduced into Australian universities and no evaluations of the impact of these initiatives have been published as yet. This qualitative research was undertaken to explore the implementation and outcomes of major streams. In-depth telephone interviews were undertaken with participants from 10 universities, to explore their experiences with and opinions of this initiative. This paper specifically addresses the perceived benefits. Qualitative data analysis revealed many benefits to the major in promoting the value of, and encouraging interest in mental health nursing for undergraduate students. Four main themes were identified: (1) benefits to students; (2) benefits to the university; (3) benefits to industry; and (4) innovative approaches to education. The findings suggest the major in mental health nursing can contribute to addressing workforce problems in mental health nursing.
