Abstract
(type = abstract)
Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project is to study how an on-campus anti-stigma campaign about psychological distress (PD) will increase psychological help-seeking in Doctors of Nursing Practice (DNP) students in two months.
Methodology: Design: One group pre-/post- surveys to assess perception of psychological help-seeking and stigma. Settings: School of nursing and mental health center at a university in northeastern US. Population: DNP students, which yielded 55 pre- and 57 post-survey sample participants. Intervention: An IRB-approved anti-stigma campaign using daily social media posts and physical flyers posted in nursing buildings. Outcomes measured: Mental health service uptake, attitudes towards help-seeking, perceptions about public stigma related to help-seeking, and Instagram analytics.
Results: Mental health service uptake: The mental health center opened one new case/month, and spent 45 minutes more per month providing services. ATTSPPHS-SF: The post-survey group had more positive attitudes toward seeking professional help. SSRPHS: The post-survey group had a greater perception of public stigma towards receiving professional psychological treatment.
Instagram analytics: Instagram and Preview mobile applications were used to analyze how others interact with the campaign’s account. The account had 41 followers, 653 likes, a reach of 2,498, and 8,791 impressions.
Implications for Practice: Increased help-seeking and reduced rates of PD can have many implications. Clinical practice could have improved performance, increased productivity, and fewer errors. Policy may include supporting students, providing appropriate resources, and enhancing relationships between schools of nursing and mental health centers. They contribute to a healthier nursing workforce, lower absenteeism/attrition, and improved patient outcomes. They also reinforce knowledge about PD. They may lead to better job retention, lower healthcare expenses, and fewer malpractice costs.
