Thematic analysis identifies mental health strategies in nursing students through bulletin boards, suggesting curriculum improvements.
Given the academic and clinical demands faced by nursing students, mental health is a critical component of their well-being. To promote a culture of wellness, Mental Health Bulletin Boards were implemented at a large, multicampus nursing college to provide an interactive space for students to share mental health strategies. A thematic analysis of 339 individually posted bulletin board notes revealed five overarching categories: physical health, connectedness, mental and emotional health, leisure and creative outlets, and personal management strategies. The findings inform nursing education wellness initiatives, including curriculum integration, faculty messaging, and community outreach.
