The feedback from students on the workshops and performances has been overwhelmingly positive
and has led to the materials being rolled out to other nursing schools across the country. A survey of

workshop participants showed that 85 per cent of participants reported some form of attitude or
behaviour change when in practice following on from workshops. "Even the simple things like the way

someone looks at another person or sitting down next to a patient rather than standing over them
makes a real difference," Dr Mermikides said.

"Nurses are busy and can easily rush from one thing to another, feedback has shown that some

students now stop and take a moment before doing something, taking time to think and compose
themselves before interacting," Mrs Richardson said.
