Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop a psychoeducation practitioner training program (PPTP) and to evaluate its usefulness with regard to nursing competencies (knowledge, self-efficacy, attitude, motivation, skills). A mixed-method research design was applied in this study. Some of the quantitative data were a one-group pretest–posttest study. Forty nurses participated in the PPTP, of whom 38 (17 men and 21 women) completed a 2-consecutive-day curriculum (dropout rate: 5%). The PPTP significantly improved nurses' knowledge of, self-efficacy for, and attitude toward psychoeducation. However, the program did not lead to the acquisition of psychoeducational skills.
