In the Psychiatric Nursing course, students learn about theories, models, and concepts to become a nurse who can examine and practice nursing that helps people with mental disorders continue their community lives, as well as the continuous nursing care needed by communities and hospitals, in order to promote the recovery of these people. Students also learn about the function and mechanism of the mind and the human life cycle as a basis for understanding the recipients of nursing care.
The main research topics are nursing in forensic psychiatry and community support for people with mental disorders. Studies on the sexuality of these people are also conducted.
