This study observed physical attending behavior (PAB) of nursing students during their initial interview with psychiatric patients cared in psychiatric wards, and it examines the relation between state-trait anxiety and physical attending behaviors. The participants were 17 students from a 5-year junior college nursing school in central Taiwan. Students’ physical attending behavior observed by video recording, the data was analyzed by Egan’s SOLER. Anxiety of the students was measured by Chung & Loon’s state-trait anxiety questionnaire. The data obtained was analyzed with SPSS for Windows 10.0.
The results revealed: (1) the mean duration time of PAB was 45.78%, indicating that the students displayed insufficient attending behavior. Regarding the occurrence of SOLER, Square behavior was measured to be the highest, at 77.15%. Eye contact, Lean, and Open were respectively 64.24%, 57.30%, and 26.96%. And Relax did not occur. (2)The relation between trait anxieties and the first minute’s physical attending behavior was negative（r = -.68﹐p < .01）. The relationship between state anxieties and the duration time of the first minute’s attending behavior was positive（r = .59, p < .01; r = .60, p≦ .01）. (3)The relation between trait anxiety and state anxiety was positive（r = .83, p< .001）, revealing that while the students’ trait anxiety scores were high, their scores in state anxiety were also high. Its explainable effect reached 68.6%.
The findings are helpful to psychiatric nursing teachers who need to understand that their students are deficient in physical attending skills. With this knowledge and understanding, the teachers will be better able to train their students in physical attending behavior with psychiatric patients. This better training will enhance students’ communication abilities in clinical practice. As far as students with high trait anxiety scores, teachers might use situated learning to reduce their state anxiety during initial interviews with psychiatric patients.
