| Abstract |
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate nursing students* attitude toward the mental illness and ego state according to psychiatric nursing education.
Methods
In this descriptive study, the subjects included 203 junior college nursing students selected by convenience sampling. Data collection was done between March, 2005 and May, 2005 using the community attitudes toward the mentally ill(CAMI) scale, and Ego-gram. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and Pearson's correlation using SPSS WIN 12 program.
Results
1) Benevolence, social restrictiveness, and community mental health ideology scores of the CAMI subscales showed statistically significant differences among three groups. The group who had taken both psychiatric lecture and clinical practice courses showed significant increased score in above three subscales. 2) The score of free child ego showed statistically significant differences among three groups. 3) The relationship between the adult ego and benevolence had a negative correlation. The relationship between the critical parent ego and community mental health ideology had a positive correlation.
Conclusion
These results suggest that more positive attitudes toward mental illness can be induced by a more psychiatric nursing educational experience. These results have implications for developing further nursing curriculum and practice education. |
