Experiences of Mental Health Practitioners With Empathy Computer Games.

Several learning games designed for nursing training exist. Yet, there is a gap in understanding what makes learning games efficacious. The current study examined the reactions of 12 mental health nurses, therapists, social workers, and counselors during and after playing four computer games designed to induce empathy for persons with mental health disorders. Thematic analysis revealed that games accurately embodied emotional and cognitive experiences of the intended disorders. Analysis also indicated shortcomings, including games falling short in their usefulness for understanding depicted disorders. Participants indicated that the games changed their attitudes and beliefs. Findings suggest that learning games can be useful for nursing students and trainees, as well as patients' friends and family members.
