Introduction Clinical practice in the psychiatric/mental health
nursing (PMHN) field is considered a highly-stressful experience
for nursing students.
Aim The purpose of the present study was to identify the degrees
of stress, the types of stressors, and coping strategies perceived
by undergraduate nursing students during their clinical practice in
PMHN courses.
Methods A descriptive, longitudinal design was used. Sixty-five
students registered in PMHN clinical courses were recruited from
five Jordanian universities using a systematic random-sampling
method. Data collection was conducted in the second semester of
the 2012–2013 academic year at two points of time: pre-PMHN
clinical training and post-PMHN training. The Basic Informa-
tion Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, and Coping Behavior
Inventory were administered. Students’ ages ranged from 20 to
25 years.
Results The findings illustrate that the highest reported types of
stressors at both data-collection times were taking care of patients,
stress related to teachers and nursing staff, and from assignments
and workloads. The most utilized coping strategy at both data-
collection times was problem solving.
Conclusion The findings of the present study are useful for clinical
educators in identifying nursing students’ stressors, easing their
learning in the clinical setting, and establishing an efficient PMHN
course programme.

Introduction Professional stress is a misfit between a person’s
skills and demands of the job. It has been found to be common
among psychiatrists and affects their personal and professional life.
Objectives To rank order the factors and manifestations of pro-
fessional stress among Indian psychiatrists.
Aims To determine the factors and manifestations associated
with professional stress among Indian psychiatrists.
Methods A qualitative ranking type Delphi study was conducted
at National Institute of Mental Health & Neurosciences, Bangalore.
The Delphi team comprised of 43 randomly selected Indian psy-
chiatrists with at least 10 years of clinical experience in psychiatry.
Questionnaires were mailed & the replies were analyzed and a con-
solidated list was sent back to rank order them. Agreeability was
assessed & the final list of factors and manifestations was shared
with the experts.
Results Forty-eight percent of the experts completed all 3 stages
of the study, 53% opined that age & gender were not a factor; how-
ever 58% & 44% opined that personality attributes & relationship
status were significant factors contributing to professional stress
Conclusion Professional stress in Indian psychiatrists is largely
secondary to increased workload and inadequate support system.
System level changes, like increase in manpower and handling
stigma regarding psychiatry, is required.

sional stress.

Introduction The European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees
(EFPT) is an independent Federation of Psychiatric Trainees and
represents the consensus of psychiatric trainee’s organizations
across European countries and advocates for what training should
look like, regardless of the country. Spain was one of the last
countries to be part of the Association. Finally, and after months of
hard work and networking, on September 2015 the Spanish Soci-
ety of Psychiatry Trainees(SERP), was founded and Spain became a
observer member of the EFPT.
Objectives One of the main goals of the SERP, is creating a pro-
gram of clerkships, in both directions, from other trainees to come
to Spain, and for Spanish Trainees to go abroad.
Methods Our idea in this poster is to explain a first look of which
Hospitals/Units would be appropriate to make a rotation, and to
explain the first steps in order to create a databasewith information
about the nightshifts, possible accommodation and other aspects
related to the organization. We want to use this poster to present
to Europe our new Association.
