✦ Synopsis

ABSTRACT

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.
