The purpose of this study was to describe Masters entry nursing students' attitudes about psychiatric mental health clinical experiences; preparedness to care for persons with mental illness; students' perceived stigmas and stereotypes; and plans to choose mental health nursing as a career. A 31-item survey was administered to pre-licensure graduate nursing students who were recruited from a Masters entry nursing program from a university in a large city in the Midwestern US. Results indicated that clinical experiences provide valuable experiences for nursing practice, however, fewer students think that these experiences prepare them to work as a psychiatric mental health nurse and none plan to pursue careers as psychiatric mental health nurses. The findings support conclusions from other studies that increasing the amount of time in the clinical setting and adding specific content to the curriculum, particularly content related to the importance of psychiatric mental health nursing and the effects of stigma, may assist the profession's efforts to recruit and retain psychiatric mental health nurses. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of these strategies and to identify the best ways to implement them.
本研究的目的是描述护理学硕士入学学生对精神心理健康临床经验的态度；照顾精神疾病患者的准备情况；学生们所感知到的耻辱感和刻板印象；以及选择精神科护理作为职业的计划。对从美国中西部一个大城市的一所大学的护理学硕士入学项目中招募的预执照研究生护理学生进行了一项包含31个条目的调查。结果表明，临床经验为护理实践提供了宝贵的经验，然而，较少有学生认为这些经验使他们有准备从事精神科心理健康护士的工作，并且没有人计划从事精神科心理健康护士的职业。这些发现支持了其他研究的结论，即增加临床实习时间并在课程中增加特定内容，特别是与精神科心理健康护理的重要性和耻辱感的影响相关的内容，可能有助于该行业招募和留住精神科心理健康护士。需要进一步的研究来确定这些策略的有效性，并确定实施这些策略的最佳方法。
