Involvement of inpatient mental health clients in the practical training and assessment of mental health nursing students: Can it benefit clients and students?
Summary of "Involvement of inpatient mental health clients in the practical training and assessment of mental health nursing students: Can it benefit clients and students?"
Even though the central position of the client has been recognized in psychiatric nursing education, the client is seldom formally involved in the feedback provided to students during practical training. This research paper focuses on three questions: (1) What conditions support the gathering of meaningful client feedback to enhance the student's learning process and client's wellbeing? (2) Does the use of the practical model for client feedback lead to positive experiences, and if so, under what conditions? (3) To what extent is a client's feedback on the student's work performance, consistent with feedback from the mentor (nurse from the ward), the teacher and the student? Based on a literature review, participatory observation and contacts with experts, a practical model was developed to elicit client feedback. Using this model in two psychiatric inpatient services, clients were actively and formally involved in providing feedback to four, final year psychiatric nursing students. Clients, nurses, teachers and students were interviewed and data were analysed using a qualitative explorative research approach. Analyses revealed that client feedback becomes meaningful in a safe environment created by the psychiatric nurse. Client feedback generates a learning effect for the student and supports the student's recognition of the value and vulnerability of the psychiatric client.
