Abstract

Öğrencilerin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığını geliştirmek için müfredat programlarının güncellenmesi, ruh sağlığı ve psikiyatri hemşireliği dersine yeterli içeriğin eklenmesi ve eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde ruh sağlığı ve psikiyatri hemşireliği dersinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Bu çalışma 69 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yarı deneysel bir çalışma olarak yürütülmüştür. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.97±1.14 olup %79.7'si kadındır. Ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ölçeği ve alt ölçeklerinin sontest puan ortalamalarının öntest puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Ruh sağlığı ve psikiyatri hemşireliği dersine yeterli içerik eklenmesi ve klinik uygulama ile desteklenmesi önerilmektedir. Dersin uygulanmasına yönelik ruh sağlığı ile ilgili birimlerin olmadığı yerlerde konsültasyon-liyezon psikiyatri hemşireliği uygulaması öğrencilerin derste aldıkları bilgileri uygulamaya geçirmelerini sağlamakta ve ruh sağlığı okuryazarlık düzeyini artırmaktadır.

THE EFFECT OF THE PSYCHIATRIC AND MENTAL HEALTH NURSING COURSE ON MENTAL HEALTH LITERACY IN NURSING STUDENTS: A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Abstract

In the literature, it is suggested that curriculum programs should be updated, sufficient content should be added to the psychiatric and mental health nursing course, and training programs should be organized to improve students' mental health literacy. This study aimed to determine the effect of the psychiatric and mental health nursing course on mental health literacy among nursing students. This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study with 69 nursing students. The mean age of the students was 21.97±1.14 and 79.7% were female. It was found that the posttest mean scores of the mental health literacy scale and its sub-scales were significantly higher than the pretest mean scores. It is recommended to add sufficient content to the psychiatric and mental health nursing course and support it with clinical practice. In places where there are no units on mental health for the implementation of the course, consultation-liaison psychiatric nursing practice enables students to put the information they receive in the course into practice and increases the mental health literacy level.
