Nursing students' experiences of mental wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic: A phenomenological study.

Introduction: Acute psychological stress is commonly experienced by university students as they transition through a new learning environment; however, uncontrolled and long-term stress, such as that experienced due to the global respiratory pandemic, contributes to a severe decline in the physical and mental health of nursing students and decreases their academic success. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience of mental wellness as lived by nursing students and to understand how nursing students were coping with the impact of COVID-19.

Methods: Individual interviews were used as a data collection method in this qualitative study, guided by descriptive phenomenology.

Holistic Health of Two Spirit People in Canada: A Call for Nursing Action.

Cerebral venous sinus system and stenting in pseudotumor cerebri.

Purpose Of Review: The pathogenesis and treatment paradigm for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is controversial.

Recent Findings: The debate continues as to whether transverse sinus stenosis is a primary or secondary process relative to raised intracranial pressure (ICP).

Physiological and behavioral evidence for focal nociception induced by epidural glutamate infusion in rats.

Summary Of Background Data: It is believed that the origin of sciatic pain is related to more than physical pressure on the nerve roots.
