Popis: | Background: Nurse educators continually search for alternative methods of instruction that provide a meaningful experience while meeting clinical objectives. One approach incorporated the Quality Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies’ evidence-based practice (EBP) into the clinical setting. Method: The Paint a Picture of Mental Illness assignment is a creative teaching approach in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing course. Students prepare a poster presentation using pictures, drawings, and illustrations demonstrating the mental, emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual impact of the mental illness. Students must perform a library search, locate an evidence-based research article related to best practices in patient care, and summarize pertinent information for presentation to the peer group. Results: Nursing students developed an understanding of mental health concepts, addressed real-life issues, researched EBP, and effectively communicated their findings to the peer group. Conclusion: This assignment helped students to develop empathy for patients with mental health issues and promoted understanding of patients’ inner experiences. [ J Nurs Educ. 2015;54(4):232–234.] |
