Anxiety reduction. Lessons that benefit students and patients.
1. Teaching intrapsychic skills enables the teacher as well as the students/patients to learn these skills. 2. Anxiety level reduction can be achieved through specialized teaching techniques. 3. Incorporating these techniques into the education of nursing students and other mental health professionals would help students and professionals deal with anxiety and burnout on the job. 4. A milieu that incorporates such teaching techniques and principles benefits both patients and staff.
