The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of participating self-growth groups in clinical psychiatric nursing practice among five-year nursing program students. Data were collected retrospectively during October 2nd, 2000 to January 11th, 2001 using nursing students' self-growth form. A total number of 313 questionnaires were collected for analysis. The results showed that the first three therapeutic factors of self-growth groups were existential factors, interpersonal learning-input, and guidance. The results also showed significant differences in cohesiveness, self-understanding, universality, interpersonal learning-input, identification, interpersonal learning-output, instillation of hope, and altruism between the fourth grade and the fifth grade nursing students. These differences were associated with nursing student's self-function. Therefore, it is imperative that clinical instructors provide a better self-exploration environment for nursing students to explore themselves through group activities for behavior correction. This would help students to build up self-esteem and increase self-confidence on nursing profession. |
