RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to determine the effect of nursing interventions to instill hope on the internalized stigma, hope, and quality of life. METHODS: The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study with the experimental and control groups and repeated measurements. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Internalized Stigma Scale in Mental Illnesses (ISMI), Herth Hope Index (HHS), and Quality of Life Scale (QLS) for schizophrenia patients. RESULTS: The difference between ISMI, HHS, and QLS posttest and follow-up test average scores was found to be statistically significant between the experimental and control groups. CONCLUSION: It was determined that nursing interventions aimed at improving hope effectively decreased the internalized stigmatization level of patients with schizophrenia and increased hope and life quality levels.

PURPOSE: The study was carried out with nurses working in a psychiatric clinic to examine their attitudes toward evidence-based practices and levels of professional self-concept. DESIGN AND METHODS: This study was carried out using a descriptive and correlational search design. We used a Personal Information Form developed by the authors and Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Scale (EBNAS) and Professional Self-Concept Scale for Clinical Nurses (PSCSCN) to obtain data. Percentages and averages, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for data analysis. FINDINGS: The mean scores of the total and subdimensions of EBNAS and PSCSCN were high for the participating nurses. A positive relationship was found between EBNAS and PSCSCN. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The positive attitude of the nurses toward evidence-based nursing is related to their high professional self-concept.
