      ab: Background Nursing faculty often struggle to find effective teaching strategies for nursing students that integrate group work into nursing students' learning activities. Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate students' experiences in a psychiatric and mental health nursing course using psychosocial group activities to develop therapeutic communication and interpersonal relationship skills, as well as to introduce psychosocial nursing interventions. Methods A qualitative research design was used. The study explored nursing students' experiences of the course in accordance with the inductive, interpretative, and constructive approaches via focus group interviews. Participants were 17 undergraduate nursing students who registered for a psychiatric and mental health nursing course. The collected data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results The analysis resulted in 28 codes, 14 interpretive codes, 4 themes ( developing interpersonal relationships , learning problem-solving skills , practicing cooperation and altruism , and getting insight and healing ), and a core theme ( interdependent growth in self-confidence ). Conclusions The psychosocial group activity provided constructive opportunities for the students to work independently and interdependently as healthcare team members through reflective learning experiences.
