Nurse Education Today, v21 n3 p201-08 Apr 2001
Nursing students' evaluations of a unit in which they examined images of mental health in literature elicited three themes: (1) textual narratives imitate and expand horizons of the real world; (2) texts serve as a model of the real world; and (3) texts can challenge health care professionals' perspectives on their practice.
