Abstract
Purpose: Mental illness in the United States is a well-documented prevalent health concern. Mental health conditions are extensive and subject to mental illness stigma that negatively impacts client care.
Aims: This quality improvement project aims to implement the NAMI In Our Own Voices presentation in conjunction with a ninety-minute anti-stigma educational session to reduce mental illness stigma among nursing students.
Methods: This quality improvement project utilizes a pretest-posttest study design to evaluate the implementation of the National Alliance on Mental Illness In Our Own Voices presentation in conjunction with a ninety-minute anti-stigma educational session’s impact on mental illness stigma reduction. The Open Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care providers will be used to determine the level of stigma reduction in undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students.
Results: Results are pending project implementation approval from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Conclusion: No conclusion can be determined at this time as study results are pending.
