Abstract:
There are not many specific programs for promoting Positive Mental Health among Nursing students were found in the curriculum. The literature refers to various psychosocial strategies aimed at the emotions and health promoting behaviors but none of these aims to promote Positive Mental Health, and such programs are entirely absent from the Nursing degree taught in Spain. The research used a mixed phenomenological qualitative and descriptive quantitative method (case-control) because there have been more quantitative than qualitative studies regarding the concepts relating to Positive Mental Health and very few mixed studies. The learning methodology used worked on the participants’ competences by promoting their self-awareness. The sample consists of nursing students from the Rovira i Virgili University, The results of the Prevention and Promotion in Positive Mental Health programme indicate that Positive Mental Health can be promoted during the Nursing degree. The programme improved positive mental health in the intervention group. Furthermore, it led to prevention by decreasing psychological anxiety and increasing resilience. It was also found that greater levels of resilience increased the levels of Positive Mental Health, and vice versa. The qualitative results showed the phenomenological aspect of the development of promotion and prevention in the individual.
