Australian Bachelor of Midwifery students' mental health literacy: An exploratory study
Nursing and Health Sciences, 09/22/09

McCann TV et al. – The results showed that the students had a mainly lay person–informed conceptualization of mental health interventions for post–partum women. They acknowledged that Mary had a mental health problem that might have a more favorable outcome with professional support, but this agreement did not extend to their understanding of the consequences of the failure to receive professional help. They believed that negative outcomes were less likely and positive outcomes were just as likely for Mary than for others in the community. The findings highlight the need for mental health theory and clinical subjects to be incorporated in midwifery curricula.
