Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize educational needs for psychiatric nursing competencies among 142 non-psychiatric nurses from general hospitals.
Methods: Data were collected from November 13 to 19 2022 through self-administered questionnaires consisting of measures of psychiatric nursing competencies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, Borich's needs assessment model, and the Locus for Focus model to determine the priority of educational needs.
Results: Non-psychiatric nurses reported that enhancing skills in psychiatric nursing were more significant than improving knowledge and attitude using Borich¡¯s Needs Assessment Model and the Locus for Focus Model. The highest priority educational needs were ¡®Skill to distinguish whether symptoms in psychiatric patients are symptoms of mental illness or side effects of psychiatric drugs¡¯, ¡®Skill to calm and supportive communication in psychiatric emergency when psychiatric patients are at risk of harm¡¯, ¡®Attitude to remain calm about the psychotic behaviors of psychiatric patients¡¯, and ¡®Knowledge of non-therapeutic communication that interferes with effective communication with psychiatric patients¡¯. These items should be considered as priorities among the 39 items to improve psychiatric nursing competencies.
Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that developing intervention programs to enhance psychiatric nursing competencies are needed among non-psychiatric Nurses.
