Nursing students who interview psychiatric patients will be provided with an "Interaction Form" to systematically evaluate and record their interviews. The form is designed to help students analyze their communication processes and document their clinical practice. Before the clinical practice, training on the use of the form will be provided and the points that students should pay attention to in the interviews will be explained. This form consists of the following columns: date and duration of the interview, purpose of the interview, verbal/non-verbal statements of the nurse and patient, effective communication technique and evaluation. During the 6-week psychiatric service practice, students are expected to conduct three psychiatric interviews. After the interviews, students will document the process in detail and will be evaluated by the mentor nurses. Guiding nurses will give feedback to the students, indicating their strengths and areas to improve, and guidance will be provid

The experimental group was expected to conduct three psychiatric interviews and watch the documentary "Biz,Siz,Onlar" during the 6-week psychiatric service practice. Psychiatric interviews will be carried out with the "Interaction Form" consisting of interview date and duration, purpose of the interview, verbal/nonverbal expressions of the nurse and the patient, effective communication technique and evaluation columns. In addition, students will be shown the documentary "Biz,Siz,Onlar" prepared by the Federation of Schizophrenia Associations of Turkey, which deals with the life stories of schizophrenia patients. The guide nurse will inform the students about the content of the documentary and the viewing process, and students will be encouraged to take notes during the viewing. The documentary, which lasts 56 minutes, will be watched in a quiet environment and then an interactive discussion session will be organized on the themes in the documentary on the clinical practice day.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT), part of Harvard University's Project Implicit, is designed to measure whether psychiatric patients are perceived as dangerous. This test aims to reveal associations that individuals have at an automatic and unconscious level that they do not consciously express. This test, which is especially used for stigmatization studies related to mental health, implicitly measures how dangerous or harmless the participants find psychiatric patients. It examines how quickly participants mentally associate psychiatric patients with positive or negative concepts such as danger or trust. The concepts that are matched faster reflect the implicit attitudes of the person, revealing their unconscious perceptions towards individuals with mental illness.

The Attitude Towards Mental Patients Scale, developed by Sedat Işıklı in 1998, was prepared to measure a specific psychological construct. The scale consists of 22 items and includes two factors: 'short-term relationships' and 'long-term relationships'. The short-term relationship factors include items 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 22. These items reflect attitudes towards shorter-term social relationships in general and towards situations that do not threaten the respondent's personal space. The Long-Term Relationships Factor includes items 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 19 and assesses attitudes towards longer-term and closer relationships. The scale is scored on a 5-point Likert scale: 5=Strongly agree, 4=Agree, 3=No opinion, 2=Disagree, and 1=Strongly disagree. High scores indicate a positive attitude.

The original form of the scale was developed by Hojat et al. in 2001 to measure the empathy level of health professionals in patient care. The adaptation study of the scale into Turkish was conducted by Yanık and Saygılı in 2014. The scale, which consists of a total of 20 items and three sub-dimensions, is a 7-point Likert type. Participants rate the level of empathy between 1 (strongly disagree) and 7 (strongly agree).
