Slide12Focus groups with students
Students asked to describe the experience of being taught by an EbyE:Positives or benefitsNegatives or challengesLikely impact on nursing practice?Importance of mental health skills for nursing more broadly?
COMMUNE
Slide13‘People like us’
Students described a far greater understanding of the person as much more than a diagnosis and collection of signs and symptoms:People with mental health problems are ill just like people with somatic illness and they have somatic illnesses. They are like us no difference FIN.
COMMUNE
Slide14‘Person beyond the diagnosis’
if I met her [EbyE) when she was like that…. how would I have thought of her? Would I have bothered to find out what was going on inside there, or would I have just looked at the mess and been, like, too hard basket … this does not mean the end of someone’s life because at this moment they’re going through this issue, this is just a moment in time that we can move through [AUS]
COMMUNE
Slide15Improving person-centred nursing practice…
“(I) will probably … think a bit more … about it - the patient’s side – when we have had it so close … it is still with us what they told about how they experienced things … at least try my best to be a good nurse and a support for the patients. To see the patients, and user involvement, is incredibly important … a fellow human of equal worth … meet the patient on the same level … [NOR]
COMMUNE
Slide16Learning beyond the medical model
I would have thought the whole thing about mental health nursing being honest before was that we had to understand the conditions; I didn't think we'd have to an extent have as much an influence on their recovery [IRE]medication is only one small part of mental health [IRE]
COMMUNE
Slide17Beyond theory
“I think it is an advantage that we get lessons from an EbyE. You can read as much theory as you want, but in the end you just don’t learn from that what a person like that has to go through.” [NETH]
COMMUNE
Slide18Becoming critical
We are trained from the hospital’s and the nursing department’s point of view. You do not always realize how your own views are limited. You think you are critical and then you realize, when you meet them
[the EBEs],
that maybe you are not so critical and broad minded. Why do we do what we do, like using the ICD diagnostic system? Sometimes you just do things blindly.
