- Note:
An evaluation of clinical placements at the Victorian
Institute of Forensic Mental Health
(VIFMH) was undertaken to determine whether appropriate
learning opportunities were offered, and identify
the impact of the placement on students' attitudes
to mental health nursing.
- "The
literature clearly demonstrates that mental health
nursing tends to be viewed negatively
by undergraduate nursing students.
While positive clinical experiences have been found
to encourage more favourable attitudes towards mental
health nursing, suitable placements
are becoming scarce. An evaluation of clinical placements
at the Victorian Institute of Forensic
Mental Health (VIFMH) was undertaken to determine
whether appropriate learning opportunities were
offered, and identify the impact of the placement
on students' attitudes to mental health nursing.
The results suggest that VIFMH provides valuable
learning experiences to increase students' understanding
of mental health nursing and is effective
in producing more positive attitudes towards this
area of practice" ( Martin & Happell, 2001,
p. 116).

the findings of Nurses (registered nurses, RN, and
licensed mental nurses, LMN) working in five Swedish
forensic psychiatric units filled
in a questionnaire designed for general psychiatric
nursing, but modified for forensic
use.
- "Nurses
(registered nurses, RN, and licensed mental nurses,
LMN) working in five Swedish forensic psychiatric
units filled in a questionnaire designed for general
psychiatric nursing, but modified for forensic
use. In this report, data regarding how nursing
care could contribute to improved care and the organizational
changes needed and what knowledge the nurses need,
in order to be able to meet the demands in the future,
were analyzed by means of content analysis. The
salient findings were: (i) an interpersonal patient-nurse
relationship based on trust, empathy, respect and
responsibility for the patients' personal resources
and knowledge seems to be the essence of nursing
care and a way to improve care; and (ii) the nurses'
educational needs emanate from different treatment
modalities, how to perform different treatments,
how to establish developing relationships and in-service
training adapted to the ward-specific problems"
(Rask & Aberg, 2002).
