Sensitization on Mental Health in School of Nursing (Florence Nightingale mile 4 Nkwen)
It is crucial for several reasons:
– Reducing stigma: Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, need to understand mental health issues to provide compassionate care.
– Self-care: Nursing students often experience stress and burnout; awareness helps them prioritize their own mental well-being.
– Better patient care: By understanding mental health, nursing students can provide more empathetic and supportive care to patients with mental health conditions.
By incorporating mental health awareness into the nursing curriculum, Schools of Nursing can promote a culture of care and support.
