The Effect of Cine-education Method on Mental Diseases Beliefs and Stigmatization Tendency in Student Nurses

Abstract

Objective: This research was carried out to determine the effect of cinema films watched on nursing students on mental illness beliefs and stigmatization tendencies. Method: This research, which was planned in the pretest-posttest, semi-trial pattern without a control group, was conducted between March and May 2020 with student nurses who took psychiatric nursing courses at a university. The impact of screening movies on students' beliefs about mental illness and stigmatization tendencies were evaluated. Personal data form, Beliefs Towards Mental Diseases Scale (BTMDS) and Stigma Scale (SS) were used to collect the data, and the data were analyzed in the SPSS package program. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the students’ pre-test and post-test SS, BTMDS mean scores and its sub-dimensions. (p<0.05). It is seen that the stigmatization tendencies of the students are moderate before watching the films, and the tendency to stigmatizing decreases after watching the films. It was found that the beliefs about mental illness were moderately negative before the students watched the films, and their post-test scores decreased compared to the pre-test scores after watching the films. Conclusion: It has been determined that student nurses' tendency to stigmatize and their beliefs about mental illness positively affected after watching movies. It is recommended to provide trainings in different methods that will create awareness among students on combating stigmatization, and to conduct qualitative studies in which the long-term effects of films are determined.
