Racism and Redlining in the History of Psychiatric Policy and Practice in Atlanta: Implications for Nursing.

Recently, the Georgia state House of Representatives passed House Bill 1013, also called . The bill sought to address access to and insurance coverage for mental health services, first identified in a report in 2020. The budget for mental health services was reduced by $8 m in 2020, despite an all-time high demand due to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A Clinic for the People: Toward an Antiracist Psychiatry at the Tuskegee Institute 1947-1965.

From 1947 until 1963, a small group of psychiatrists from the Tuskegee Veterans Administration Hospital ran a Mental Hygiene Clinic designed to provide outpatient care and education to the Black residents of Macon County, Alabama. In an analysis of the clinic and the work of its Director, Dr. Prince Barker, we see the ways that Black psychiatrists tried to develop an antiracist approach to psychiatry and to develop their own autonomy in segregated Alabama.

Leverage pre-requisite courses to teach bachelor of science in nursing students about social determinants of health.

Background: Nurses have frequent opportunities to address social determinants of health (SDOH) in practice. However, many nurses graduate without completing coursework in SDOH, and there remain barriers to incorporating SDOH content into nursing curricula.

Purpose: We propose the revision of nursing pre-requisites to include substantive, introductory coursework on SDOH.

What Will People Think? How College Students Evaluate Bystander Intervention Behavior.

Many colleges utilize bystander intervention programs to address gender-based violence. The goal of these programs is to help students overcome barriers to intervention, including evaluation inhibition, which occurs when bystanders expect to be viewed negatively for intervening. We have limited information, though, on how college students evaluate bystanders who intervene.

Addressing Fear of Negative Consequences of Overdose Response: A Qualitative Study of the Perceptions of Service Industry Workers Who Encounter an Opioid Overdose in an Urban Commercial District in Atlanta, Georgia.

Background: The increased contamination of illicit drugs with fentanyl in the United States drug market has contributed to escalating mortality from drug overdose. Leisure and hospitality service industry workers are encountering opioid-triggered overdoses in their workplaces, such as restaurants and bars. Consequently, this increases the need for overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) training, which has been limited.

Different Places, Different Ideas: Reimagining Practice in American Psychiatric Nursing After World War II.

In 1952, Hildegard Peplau published her textbook Interpersonal Relations in Nursing: A Conceptual Frame of Reference for Psychodynamic Nursing. This was the same year the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the first edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (1st ed.; DSM-I; APA).

History as reflective practice: A model for integrating historical studies into nurse education.

The role of history in developing professional identity in nursing is well known, and the discipline of nursing history research continues to flourish. Yet this work often struggles to find its way into undergraduate university nurse education courses. We put forward a model for "history as reflective practice" in which we suggest that historical studies can be used as a form of evidence to develop critical thinking and clinical reasoning, as well as situate nursing practice within its social and political context.

The development of a model of education for casual academic staff who support nursing students in practice.

Nursing is predominantly a practice based profession where clinical placement for pre-registration nursing students is a significant component of their programme, as this is pivotal in achieving work readiness of the graduate registered nurse. It is therefore important to ensure nursing students have high quality clinical placements that are supervised by well-prepared experienced registered nurses. This paper discusses one component of the reconnaissance phase of a wider action research project being undertaken in a metropolitan university in NSW, Australia seeking to enhance the development and support of casual academic staff known as clinical supervisors who support students in clinical placement.

The Study of Nursing Care project: back to the future for contemporary nursing research?

Aims:   To discuss the Study of Nursing Care project, an initiative from the late 1970s in the UK. The article explores the impact of the Study of Nursing Care on nursing research, and considers to what extent it presents a useful model for contemporary nursing research.

Background:   It is acknowledged internationally that the nursing academic workforce is ageing and dwindling.

Scholarship reconsidered: implications for reward and recognition of academic staff in schools of nursing and beyond.

Aims: This paper discusses the issues facing the nursing academic workforce and the development of a project at the University of Wollongong in Australia which attempts to address this problem.

Background: The project draws on Boyer's work around 'scholarship reconsidered' to enable new ways of thinking about the nature of 'research' and how the work of a diversifying workforce can be recognized and rewarded within institutions.

Methods: We conducted a series of interviews with senior university staff to identify key issues around academic promotion processes.
