The Effects of Documentary and Psychiatric Interviewing Methods in Psychiatric Nursing Education
Sponsor: Sakarya University
Summary
Negative attitudes towards mental illnesses are an important problem that negatively affects both the social lives of individuals and the effectiveness of health services. Addressing these prejudices, developing empathy and promoting a patient-centred care approach are key goals that can be achieved through clinical experiences and structured educational programmes for nursing students. This single-centre, single-blind, randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effects of documentaries and psychiatric interviews on nursing students' implicit associations, discriminatory attitudes and empathy skills towards mental illnesses. Within the scope of the study, nursing students working in a psychiatric ward will be divided into two groups: one group will work with documentaries including psychiatric interviews and patient narratives, while the other group will only conduct psychiatric interviews. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) and the Attitudes Towards Mental Patients Scale will be used to assess students' implicit associations and attitudes towards psychiatric patients, and the Jefferson Empathy Scale will assess their level of empathy. Data analysis will be performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Given the widespread stigmatisation of psychiatric patients, this study is expected to make a significant contribution to improving the quality of care provided by nursing students in psychiatric settings.

Interventions
Psychiatric interview and documentary
Nursing students who interview psychiatric patients will be provided with an "Interaction Form" to systematically evaluate and record their interviews. This form consists of the following columns: date of interview, duration of interview, duration of interview, verbal/non-verbal statements of the nurse and patient, effective communication technique and evaluation. The duration of the interview is expected to be between 30 and 45 minutes. Another component of the combination is the documentary "Us, You, Them" prepared by the Federation of Schizophrenia Associations of Turkey, which deals with the life stories of schizophrenia patients and lasts approximately 56 minutes.
