“…Only a relatively small percentage of nursing students educated through a generic model (where students are educated about a broad range of healthcare settings, rather than specializing in a particular field such as mental health) will follow a career path in mental health (Happell & Gaskin 2013;Hunter et al 2015;Stevens et al 2013). The high prevalence of people labelled with mental illness and experiencing mental distress accessing a broad range of healthcare services (Bahorik et al 2017;Garrido et al 2017;Giandinoto & Edward 2015;Jayatilleke et al 2018) necessitates nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to attend to the mental health needs of people within these services. EBE led mental health education, therefore, has an important role to play not only in the education of nurses but of all health professionals, for all areas of healthcare practice.…”

Nurses play a central role in the delivery of quality mental health services. Desired qualities of a mental health nurse, in particular therapeutic relationships, have been described in the literature, primarily reflecting the nursing paradigm. Service users’ perspectives must be more fully understood to reflect contemporary mental health policy and to recognize their position at the centre of mental health service delivery and to directly influence and contribute their perspectives and experiences to mental health nursing education. A qualitative exploratory research project was undertaken to inform and enhance understanding of what service users see as the desired qualities of a mental health nurse. The project was co‐produced by service users as experts by experience, and mental health nurse academics to ensure the service user perspective was privileged. This international project conducted in Europe and Australia included a series of focus groups with service users (n = 50). Data were analysed thematically. Being with me was a major theme identified and reflected the sub‐themes: respect towards service users as persons; empathy, compassion and effective communication; understanding service users; knowledge of services; and fostering hope and believing that recovery is possible. These qualities specifically reflecting the service user perspective must be central to mental health nursing curricula to facilitate the development of holistic care and recovery‐oriented practice. These findings were utilized to directly inform development of a co‐produced mental health nursing learning module, to maximize genuine service user involvement, and to fully realize the benefits of service user led education for undergraduate nursing students.

Holistic and person-centred nursing care is commonly regarded as fundamental to nursing practice. These approaches are complementary to recovery which is rapidly becoming the preferred mode of practice within mental health. The willingness and ability of nurses to adopt recovery-oriented practice is essential to services realizing recovery goals. Involving consumers (referred herein as Experts by Experience) in mental health nursing education has demonstrated positive impact on the skills and attitudes of nursing students. A qualitative exploratory research project was undertaken to examine the perspectives of undergraduate nursing students to Expert by Experience-led teaching as part of a co-produced learning module developed through an international study. Focus groups were held with students at each site. Data were analysed thematically. Understanding the person behind the diagnosis was a major theme, including subthemes: person-centred care/seeing the whole person; getting to know the person, understanding, listening; and challenging the medical model, embracing recovery. Participants described recognizing consumers as far more than their psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of person-centred care and recovery-oriented practice. Understanding the individuality of consumers, their needs and goals, is crucial in mental health and all areas of nursing practice. These findings suggest that recovery, taught by Experts by Experience, is effective and impactful on students' approach to practice. Further research addressing the impact of Experts by Experience is crucial to enhance our understanding of ways to facilitate the development of recovery-oriented practice in mental health and holistic and person-centred practice in all areas of health care.KEY WORDS: co-production of mental health nursing education, consumer academic, education of health professionals, mental health, mental health nursing, recovery.

“…The prevalence of diagnosed mental illness and mental distress within the general healthcare system is significantly higher than the general population. (Bahorik, Satre, Kline‐Simon, Weisner, & Campbell, ; Garrido et al., ; Giandinoto & Edward, ; Jayatilleke, Hayes, Chang, & Stewart, ). Therefore, all nursing graduates must have some confidence and competence for managing acute symptoms for people labelled with mental illness across the healthcare sector.…”

Accessible Summary What is known on the subject? Consumer participation in mental health services is embedded in mental health policy in many countries. The negative attitudes of nurses and other health professionals to consumer participation poses a significant obstacle to this policy goal Involving mental health “Experts by Experience” in the education of nursing students demonstrates positive attitudinal change What this paper adds to existing knowledge? More detailed understanding of nursing students’ experiences and perspectives about being taught mental health nursing by “Experts by Experience” An international focus, extending understandings about how Experts by Experience might be perceived in a broader range of countries What are the implications for practice? Positive attitudes towards people labelled with mental illness are essential for quality nursing practice Nurses have an important leadership role in facilitating consumer participation within health services. It is critical that their attitudes are professional and optimistic. Abstract IntroductionConsumer participation is central to mental health policy. Negative attitudes of health professionals are barriers to realizing policy goals. Evidence suggests consumers (Experts by Experience) can influence positive attitudes in nursing students. Research in this area to date is limited and primarily from Australia and New Zealand. AimTo enhance understanding of nursing students’ perspectives and experiences of being taught mental health by an Expert by Experience. MethodA qualitative exploratory approach was used. Focus groups were conducted with nursing students from seven universities in Australia and Europe. Data were analysed thematically. ResultsStudent participants described how exposure to Experts by Experience challenged their views and attitudes and provided a mechanism for reflection, critique and change. The main theme “changing mindset” includes two subthemes: exposing stereotypes and reflection. DiscussionThis unique international study demonstrates the capacity for Experts by Experience to contribute to positive attitudinal change towards mental illness in nursing students. This changed mindset must occur for policy goals to be realized. Implications for practiceNurses in all areas of practice will work with people labelled with mental illness and experiencing mental distress. Overcoming stereotypes and adopting more positive attitudes is essential to deliver quality mental health care.
