Abstract

Nursing education can negatively impact students' psychological well-being and self-esteem. While Expressive Arts Therapy (EAT) is a promising intervention, research on its effectiveness using hybrid methods in non-Western contexts like Indonesia is limited. This study evaluated a free-drawing-based EAT intervention to enhance the self-esteem of Indonesian nursing students. This mixed-methods study used a quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test-post-test design. From 415 students screened in South and Central Kalimantan, 24 participants with low-to-medium self-esteem were selected (purposive sampling). Data were collected using the Nurses' Self-Concept Questionnaire (NSCQ) pre- and post-intervention. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test; qualitative data from in-depth interviews and FGDs (10 participants) were thematically analyzed. Quantitatively, the increase in mean self-esteem scores was not statistically significant (t(23) = -0.850, p = .202). In stark contrast, qualitative analysis revealed substantial benefits across four themes: (1) enhanced self-insight and awareness; (2) emotional catharsis and stress reduction; (3) drawing as vital non-verbal expression; and (4) a positive therapeutic experience. Although the EAT intervention did not yield statistically significant improvement in self-esteem scores, it provided profound psychological benefits like emotional catharsis and enhanced self-awareness. EAT is a valuable tool for supporting nursing students' mental well-being, functioning as an effective method for stress management and self-exploration.

Abstract

Introduction: Comprehensive and culturally sensitive mental health assessment remains a challenge in Indonesian nursing education, where existing formats are often too generic for specific local contexts like the Banjar culture. This study aimed to develop and test the effectiveness of the BASAHARI assessment format, which integrates clinical standards with local Banjar cultural wisdom, to improve the assessment skills of nursing students.Method: This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design at a private nursing college and a provincial psychiatric hospital in Indonesia. The initial needs analysis involved in-depth interviews with seven senior psychiatric nurses to identify practice needs and challenges. Based on these findings, the BASAHARI format was developed. Its effectiveness was subsequently evaluated using a quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test design with a cohort of 40 nursing students. Data were analyzed using a Paired Samples T-Test.Results: The implementation of the BASAHARI format led to a statistically significant improvement in students' skills across all measured domains (p < 0.001). The mean cognitive score increased by 10.20 points (t=13.924), the mean psychomotor score increased by 9.87 points (t=11.968), and the mean attitude score increased by 11.55 points (t=12.551).Conclusion: The BASAHARI assessment format is an effective tool for significantly improving the cognitive, psychomotor, and attitude domains of nursing students' mental health assessment capabilities. Its integration into nursing curricula and clinical practice is recommended to foster culturally competent care.
