“…The composition of and internal consistency estimates for each subscale are provided in Table 1. A detailed description of the psychometric properties of the preplacement survey is published elsewhere (Hayman-White & Happell, 2005) and, therefore, will not be reproduced here. Notwithstanding, item loadings and communalities derived from a principal components extraction on variables corresponding to the 24 statements indicated that all seven subscales were composed of relatively homogenous items and that most items were good to excellent measures of each subscale.…”

“…U NDERGRADUATE STUDENTS' NEGA-TIVE attitudes toward persons experiencing mental illnesses and the profession of psychiatricmental health nursing (herein described as mental health nursing) are well documented in the literature (Davidson & Connery, 2003;Emrich, Thompson, & Moore, 2003;Happell, 2001;Hayman-White & Happell, 2005;Stevens & Dulhunty, 1992, 1997Tsang, Tam, Chan, & Chang, 2003;Wynaden, Orb, McGowan, & Downie, 2000). It has been suggested that nursing students' attitudes reflect the prevailing stigmatizing views of the general population toward people experiencing mental illness.…”

“…As many healthcare systems in many countries are experiencing nursing shortages and struggling to recruit new nurses and retain those who are already in the systems, the unpopularity of PMHN compared with other nursing specialties is documented in literature [15]. In addition, few nurses specialize in substance use disorders; furthermore, the Pew Charitable Trust notes a major shortage in the number of professionals practicing with patients diagnosed with substance abuse in the United States [16].…”

Background: The scarcity of psychiatric nurses is an increasing problem in both the United States and China. Without a systematic effort for the increased recruitment of students into the behavioral health field, the scarcity of psychiatric nurses will persist. To address this problem, three professors in the United States and a visiting international scholar of psychiatry from China joined forces to examine the issues related to the recruitment of student nurses into the mental health nursing specialty in their respective countries. The need for psychiatricmental health nursing (PMHN) practitioners is increasing internationally as more individuals are diagnosed with mental illnesses, and millions of youth and adults aged 14-24 years are at high risk. There has been considerable discussion about contributing factors associated with a decrease in the PMHN specialty. One issue is whether or not educational institutions are effectively marketing PMHN programs and providing their students with the proper curriculum and training. Materials and Methods: Literatures published within the past 10 years were reviewed in combination with the collaborative face-to-face discussions. Results: Psychiatric nursing shortage has caused concerns considering the increasing demand of patients with mental illnesses. Contributing factors were identified including aging workforce, de-emphasis of the PMHN courses in nursing education, and stigma associated with working with psychotic patients. Conclusions: Marketing strategies for repositioning PMHN programs were proposed to eliminate the shortage of PMHN nurses in both China and the United States.

“…The original scale was constructed through a study that conducted interviews with 687 nursing students in their mental health placement in 21 mental health services in Victoria, Australia (15) . The attitudes of these students toward mental health were measured with this instrument at two times: on the first day of the placement, the first 24 items of the instrument were given, and on the last day, when 14 additional items (items 25 to 29) were included, to assess the post clinical placement period.…”

Objective: to make across-cultural adaptation of the "Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Mental Health Nursing and Consumers" scale in Brazil. Method: the scale was tested regarding conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalence. Results: content validation was conducted by an expert committee with a minimum consensus level of 80%. This process resulted in a 35-item scale divided into 6 factors. The experts reached 100% consensus on the scale's clarity of language, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance, as well as on the need for excluding one factor. Data were collected in 2013 in the city of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Conclusion: the instrument was cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and presented satisfactory content validity. We propose further studies on the scale's psychometric properties, such as construct validity, internal consistency and reliability. Key words: Psychiatric Nursing; Validation Studies; Education, Higher; Scales.
