Abstract: Positive perceptions
and attitudes need to be instilled in the nurse's mind to be more caring and
responsible when dealing with psychiatric patients. The differences of working
environment will affect perceptions in which nurses in the mental health
environment are able to have more negative perceptions and attitudes than other
nurses. This study aims to determine the description of perceptions and
attitudes of psychiatric-mental health nurses to patients with mental disorders
in the inpatient unit. The simple descriptive design with a survey method was
used as the research design. This study was conducted to 66 nurses who served
in the inpatient unit at Tampan Mental Institution of Riau Province and taken
through the total sampling by considering the inclusion criteria. A set of
questionnaire that has been tested for its validity and reliability was used as
the measuring tool. The analysis used was the univariate analysis of
distribution. The results showed that 34 nurses (51.5%) had negative perception
to psychiatric patients and 32 nurses (48.5%) showed positive perception to
psychiatric patients. In addition, 36 nurses (54.5%) showed a positive attitude
to psychiatric patients and 30 nurses (45.5%) showed negative attitudes toward
