To examine mental health status, COVID-19 vaccine intention and barriers among college students in the U.S. Students ( = 337) registered at a large public university in 2021. Cross-sectional survey data were collected online and analyzed using independent samples test, chi-square test, and one-way ANOVA. Compared to male students, females reported greater anxiety ( < .05) and fear ( < .01). Hispanic participants reported increased anxiety level and the least positive pandemic coping strategies (both < .05) across the ethnic groups. Black students were the racial group with the lowest trust in the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine ( < .05). Vaccine intention was positively correlated with factors such as vaccine safety measures, and perceptions toward vaccination (both < .001). These gender- and ethnicity- based mental health struggles should be addressed immediately for better health and vaccine promotion outcomes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Simulation-based training in mental health is increasingly recognised as an effective tool within nursing education. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various simulation modalities, including standardised participants (SPs), role-plays, virtual reality (VR), mannequins and voice simulations, in improving educational outcomes for nursing students. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify studies evaluating the impact of mental health simulation on nursing education.

Due to a shortage of studies into this topic, relationships between mean ambient temperature and involuntary admissions have remained largely elusive.

Medical-surgical Nursing Department, Faculty of Nursing, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: We aimed to identify the central lifestyle, the most impactful among lifestyle factor clusters; the central health outcome, the most impactful among health outcome clusters; and the bridge lifestyle, the most strongly connected to health outcome clusters, across 29 countries to optimise resource allocation for local holistic health improvements.
Methods: From July 2020 to August 2021, we surveyed 16 461 adults across 29 countries who self-reported changes in 18 lifestyle factors and 13 health outcomes due to the pandemic. Three networks were generated by network analysis for each country: lifestyle, health outcome, and bridge networks.
