Available evidence clearly demonstrates that undergraduate nursing students typically hold unfavourable attitudes towards psychiatric / mental health nursing as a career. It has been suggested that students' negative attitudes towards mental illness and consumers of mental health services may be responsible for the unpopularity of this specialty area; however, research exploring the relationship between career choices and students' attitudes is lacking. A sub-set of data from a large Victorian study that examined undergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards mental illness, mental health nursing, and mental health clinical placement experiences was used to clarify the nature of this relationship. In total, complete data was available from 605 students undertaking their first mental health placement who provided responses to a 24-item pre-placement survey. This survey assessed the following three areas: 1. preparedness for the mental health field; 2. attitudes towards mental illness; and 3. attitudes towards mental health nursing. The findings demonstrate significant relationships between students' attitudes, beliefs, and characteristics and desire to pursue a career in psychiatric mental health nursing. The identification of these relationships provides a basis from which interventions to influence nursing students' attitudes towards psychiatric/mental health nursing, can be planned.

现有证据清楚地表明,护理本科生通常对精神病/精神卫生护理作为职业持不利态度。有人认为,学生对精神疾病和精神卫生服务消费者的消极态度可能是该专业领域不受欢迎的原因。但是,缺乏探索职业选择与学生态度之间关系的研究。来自维多利亚州一项大型研究的子集数据,该数据检查了本科护理学生对精神疾病,精神卫生护理和精神卫生临床安置经验的态度,以阐明这种关系的性质。总共有605名进行首次精神卫生安置的学生提供了完整的数据,他们对24项安置前调查做出了回应。这项调查评估了以下三个方面: 1.精神卫生领域的准备; 2.对精神疾病的态度; 3.对精神卫生护理的态度。研究结果表明,学生的态度,信念和特征与追求精神病精神卫生护理职业的愿望之间存在显着的关系。这些关系的识别提供了一个基础,可以据此计划干预措施来影响护理学生对精神病/精神卫生护理的态度。
