“…Third, nursing students reported changes and new experiences regarding mental health nursing education compared to how they experienced the traditional education on the topic [ 16 , 25 , 27 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Education using consumer involvement led to changes in students’ approaches to practice, their self-awareness, reflection, and empathy; it also promoted a more in-depth understanding of the learning contents by encouraging them to recall their past experiences with their families and acquaintances and relate to what they discussed in their classes, thinking about the mental-health-related problems of those around them.…”

This integrative review analyzed the research on consumer involvement in mental health nursing education in the last decade. We aimed to derive the main contents, methods, and outcomes of education using consumer involvement for mental health nursing students. We searched six electronic databases using English and Korean search terms; two authors independently reviewed the 14 studies that met the selection criteria. Studies on the topic were concentrated in Australia and some European countries; most of them used a qualitative design. The main education subject was recovery, and consumers tended to actively participate in education planning. Moreover, students’ perceptions about education using consumer involvement and people with mental health problems changed positively, as well as their experiences of participating in mental health nursing education. There is a lack of interest in the topic in Asian countries, including Korea. Thus, future studies in Asian countries are needed to conduct qualitative and in-depth explorations of students’ experiences regarding an educational intervention that uses consumer involvement as a tool rigorously designed for mental health nursing education. Consumer involvement can be an innovative strategy to produce high-quality mental health nurses by minimizing the gap between theory and practice in the undergraduate program.

Nurses play a central role in the delivery of quality mental health services. Desired qualities of a mental health nurse, in particular therapeutic relationships, have been described in the literature, primarily reflecting the nursing paradigm. Service users’ perspectives must be more fully understood to reflect contemporary mental health policy and to recognize their position at the centre of mental health service delivery and to directly influence and contribute their perspectives and experiences to mental health nursing education. A qualitative exploratory research project was undertaken to inform and enhance understanding of what service users see as the desired qualities of a mental health nurse. The project was co‐produced by service users as experts by experience, and mental health nurse academics to ensure the service user perspective was privileged. This international project conducted in Europe and Australia included a series of focus groups with service users (n = 50). Data were analysed thematically. Being with me was a major theme identified and reflected the sub‐themes: respect towards service users as persons; empathy, compassion and effective communication; understanding service users; knowledge of services; and fostering hope and believing that recovery is possible. These qualities specifically reflecting the service user perspective must be central to mental health nursing curricula to facilitate the development of holistic care and recovery‐oriented practice. These findings were utilized to directly inform development of a co‐produced mental health nursing learning module, to maximize genuine service user involvement, and to fully realize the benefits of service user led education for undergraduate nursing students.

“…For example, mental health literacy and accurate knowledge about managing mental illness can be offered to the public through different avenues: public and private media, movies, citizen education, government and mental healthcare practitioner collaboration with affected families and community health centres. Mental healthcare professionals must also be properly educated to preclude their stigmatization of people diagnosed with mental illness Happell et al (2019). found that nursing students being taught mental health by an Expert by Experience (consumer) have improved understanding and perspectives of mental illness, which leads to improved learning experiences.…”

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Internalized stigma in people diagnosed with mental illness has several negative outcomes; however, it remains unclear in an Indonesian context. The human rights of people diagnosed with mental illness in Indonesia have been routinely violated because of the existing stigma against mental illness and deficiencies in the country's mental healthcare services. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the level of internalized stigma and related factors among Indonesians diagnosed with schizophrenia. Almost one‐third of the subjects had moderate‐to‐severe levels of internalized stigma, among which discrimination was the strongest type. Specifically, younger and unemployed people with more psychotic symptoms had higher levels of internalized stigma. What are the implications for practice? The provision of adequate pharmacological and psychosocial treatments to help people manage their psychotic symptoms is extremely important to ameliorate stigma. Vocational rehabilitation and employment support for unemployed people may potentially reduce their internalized stigma and promote recovery. Abstract IntroductionThe human rights of people diagnosed with mental illness in Indonesia have been routinely violated because of societal stigma associated with mental illness and deficiencies in the country's mental healthcare services. Knowledge about internalized stigma among people diagnosed with schizophrenia in lower middle‐income Muslim countries is also scarce. AimTo identify the level of internalized stigma and related factors among people diagnosed with schizophrenia in Indonesia. MethodA cross‐sectional survey was conducted with a purposive sample of 300 people diagnosed with schizophrenia from an urban Indonesian psychiatric hospital. ResultsAlmost one‐third of the subjects had moderate‐to‐severe levels of internalized stigma, among which discrimination was the strongest type. Younger age, unemployment status and having psychotic symptoms significantly increased the risk of internalized stigma when analysed in a multivariable ordinal logistic regression. DiscussionThe present study firstly identified the high levels of internalized stigma among Indonesian individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Implications for practiceMental health nurses are suggested to provide early anti‐stigma illness management and family psychoeducation interventions to people diagnosed with schizophrenia and their family caregivers, helping them to develop an optimistic understanding about the concept of schizophrenia and mitigating the negative consequences of public and internalized stigma.
