Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The therapeutic communication skill levels of mental health and psychiatric nursing students

    descriptive characteristics of the participants. The form, consisting of 7 questions in total, containing information such as the age, gender, place of residence of the students for the longest time, presence of mental illness, was prepared by the researcher using the literature

    4 mounth

  • Nursing students' therapeutic communication skills

    The scale developed by Karaca, et al. (2019) was designed as a measurement tool for determining the therapeutic communication skills of nursing students. The scale consists of 16 items and 3 sub-dimensions: "Non-therapeutic Communication Skills", "Therapeutic Communication Skills-1", "Therapeutic Communication Skills-2". The first sub-dimension of my scale consists of 7 items, the second sub-dimension consists of 6 items and the third sub-dimension consists of 3 items. The scale is 7-point Likert type varying between 1 and 7, there is no reverse coded item in the scale. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16x7=112, and the lowest score is 16x1=16.
