Nursing is viewed increasingly from an international perspective. Communication between nurses from different countries and cultures is becoming an important feature of nurses' education as well as their professional lives. While it is often not possible for nurse educators and students to visit their counterparts in other countries, it is possible for them to engage in personal contact and discussion through videoconferencing technology. An exploratory international videoconferencing case-study project, which was undertaken to enable educators to further their knowledge of videoconferencing as a teaching method, and enable students to meet in a videoconference class and discuss common issues in nursing education and practice with their counterparts in another country is presented. Two groups of registered nurse students, one undergraduate and one graduate, from the Department of Nursing, University of Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University College Dublin, Ireland were brought together for one class each. This article presents these case studies in the context of videoconferencing in higher education, describes the practical and pedagogical considerations in implementation and makes recommendations for further use of videoconferencing to foster communication and help students in different countries to develop greater international awareness of nursing practice and health care.

Objective: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a well-established treatment for anxiety disorders in the general population. However, the efficacy of CBT for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and otherwise non-heterosexual or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) people with anxiety disorders is still emerging in the literature. This protocol proposes an exploratory, two-group, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of CBT for anxiety disorders against a waitlist control group.

Teletherapy via videoconferencing has become common practice but has unique challenges. We aimed to develop and validate the first performance-based observer-rated measure of teletherapy skills: The Teletherapy Facilitative Interpersonal Skills Performance Task (Tele-FIS). We developed a set of 12 Tele-FIS video stimulus clips as simulations of four research-informed common therapeutic challenges in teletherapy: technology, distraction, boundaries and privacy, and emotional disconnection.
