Faculty Behaviors and Beliefs About Teaching Gun Violence Prevention in Undergraduate Nursing Programs.

Background: Gun violence is a public health crisis, but nurses report receiving little education related to gun violence prevention (GVP).

Purpose: This study aimed to describe undergraduate nursing faculty teaching behaviors and perceptions related to GVP and explore factors associated with teaching it.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used.

Simulation Design, Findings, and Call to Action for Managing Difficult Patient Encounters.

To implement and evaluate a laboratory simulation for teaching difficult patient encounter skills to pharmacy students to improve their self-assessed communication abilities and skills in the affective domain. Twelve simulation scenarios that represented difficult patient encounters in a variety of practice settings were developed. All students completed a self-assessment of their ability to communicate during difficult patient encounters before and after the simulations, and wrote a guided reflection afterward.
