This integrative review identifies potential risk and protective factors for maladaptive coping following sibling bereavement and the influence of these factors on adjustment to loss.

Eligibility Criteria: Articles were limited to peer-reviewed studies, published in English in 2000 and beyond.

Changing Student Outcomes Without Sacrificing Student Satisfaction.

Background: Faculty teaching a large class size implemented evidence-based teaching strategies (EBTS) to improve mastery of core concepts in an accelerated undergraduate pediatric nursing course.
