Randomized Controlled TrialMental Health Promotion Intervention for Nurses Working in German Psychiatric Hospital Departments: A Pilot Study.
This pilot study aimed to implement a mental health promotion program to support nurses working in Psychiatric hospital departments. Eighty-six nurses working in psychiatric hospitals were randomized to either an intervention group (IG) or a waitlist control group (WCG). The intervention took place in groups over a period of 12 weeks. ⋯ No comparable results could be found in the WCG. A mental health promotion intervention for psychiatric nurses was successfully implemented. Further research is necessary to generalize these pilot study findings.
