Abstract
Abstract: As more patients seek help for acute mental health conditions in all sectors of health care, the demand for nurses trained to care for this population is outpacing the supply. Nursing schools have not been successful in educating students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to provide care. The purpose of this study was to integrate mental health concepts throughout the entire curriculum in a two-year associate degree nursing program and examine its effects on developing mental health literacy in prelicensure students.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
