Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma tek grupta ön test-son test düzenindedir. Çalışmada teorik ders öncesi ve sonrası ile klinik uygulama sonrası olmak üzere üç ölçüm yapılmıştır. Çalışma hemşirelik okulunda yapıldı. Çalışmanın örneklemini 74 üçüncü sınıf hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturdu.

Bulgular: Öğrencilerin teorik dersten sonra ruhsal hastalıklara ve psikiyatri hemşireliğine yönelik negatif tutumlarının anlamlı düzeyde azaldığı saptandı. Ruhsal hastalıklara yönelik tutumlar ve psikiyatri hemşireliğine yönelik algılarda teorik dersten ve klinik uygulamadan sonra olumlu yönde değişim olmuştur. Teorik derslerden önce psikiyatri hemşireliğini üçüncü sırada tercih eden öğrenciler 21 (%28,4)’lerdeyken teorik ders ve klinik uygulama sonrası ölçümlerde 31 (%41) oranında arttı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada psikiyatri hemşireliği müfredatında ruhsal hastalıklara yönelik damgalama ve etkilerine ilişkin öğrencilerde farkındalık yaratacak konular ve programların olmasının etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Hemşirelik eğitiminin ilk yılından itibaren öğrencilerin ruhsal hastalıklara yönelik inançlarını, psikiyatri hemşireliği algılarını ve kariyer tercihlerini inceleyen uzun dönemli çalışmaların yapılması önerilir.
