This study aims to evaluate the importance of theory in enhancing student nurses' experiences in a rural psychiatric practicum and also identify positive, negative and potentially helpful factors which could be used to improve student nurses' psychiatric practicum. A pilot study of sixty-five undergraduate nursing students were given a questionnaire after their psychiatric practicum. Positive, negative and potentially helpful factors were derived from themes of their responses. Results indicated that theory played an important role in enhancing students' learning in their clinical practicum. Positive factors included interaction with clients; improvement of knowledge and understanding of mental health, thus dispelling myths; staff's professionalism, enthusiasm and acceptance of students; direct involvement with clients; diversity of learning opportunities and shift work. Negative factors related to nursing staff performance. Potentially helpful factors were those promoting goodness of fit between theory and practicum and characteristics of the clinical setting.
本研究旨在评估理论在提升护理专业学生农村精神科实习体验中的重要性，并确定可用于改善护理专业学生精神科实习的积极、消极和潜在有益因素。对65名本科护理专业学生在精神科实习后进行了一项试点研究，向他们发放了问卷。从他们的回答主题中得出了积极、消极和潜在有益因素。结果表明，理论在促进学生临床实习学习方面发挥了重要作用。积极因素包括与服务对象互动；增进对心理健康的知识和理解，从而消除误解；工作人员的专业精神、热情和对学生的接纳；直接接触服务对象；学习机会的多样性和轮班工作。消极因素与护理人员的表现有关。潜在有益因素是那些促进理论与实习良好契合以及临床环境特点的因素。
