Teaming Up for Community Health Simulation Intervention: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine whether participating in a team-based simulation intervention would improve nursing students' empathy and commitment to addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) and interprofessional teamwork attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Outcomes were compared for intraprofessional versus interprofessional team participation.

Background: Nursing students must learn strategies to address SDOH, but this content is not well integrated in curricula.

Faculty perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on new graduate nurses' transition to practice: A qualitative study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted nursing education worldwide. Most studies have focused on how the pandemic affected students. With an alarming workforce shortage, a better understanding of the pandemic's impact on new nurses is vital to proactively develop strategies to promote success of the profession's newest members.

Urticaria Multiforme: An Uncommon Hypersensitivity Rash in Children.

The differential diagnosis of rashes in children is challenging. Pediatric rashes indicate a broad spectrum of clinical conditions and include those that are benign and self-limiting to those that may indicate a serious multisystem inflammatory response. It is essential that emergency nurse practitioners have the knowledge and skill set to accurately identify the spectrum of rashes in the pediatric population to arrive at the correct diagnosis for patient management and avoid costly and unnecessary diagnostic testing.

Interprofessional student hotspotting: preparing future health professionals to deliver team-based care for complex patients.

Background: Interprofessional student hotspotting involves experiential and longitudinal learning about team-based care for patients with complex medical and social needs. As an emerging strategy for interprofessional education, there have been few research studies to examine student perspectives.

Purpose: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the experiences and perspectives of health professions students who participated in a six-month interprofessional student hotspotting program.

Nurse faculty perceptions of readiness for practice among new nurses graduating during the pandemic.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused major changes in nursing education, namely a shift to remote learning and significant reduction of clinical practice experience. It is not known how these changes will affect new graduate nurses transitioning to practice.

Purpose: To provide guidance to transition-to-practice programs, this study quantitatively described and compared nurse faculty perceptions of readiness for practice among students who graduated pre-pandemic and those who will graduate during the pandemic.

Preparing nursing students for home health using an escape room: A qualitative study.

Background: As healthcare continues to shift from hospitals to community settings, it is vital to prepare nursing students for community-based care, including home health.

Design And Objectives: This exploratory descriptive qualitative study examined students' experiences with a home health escape room and their perceptions of how the experience affected their learning.

Methods: To escape the simulated apartment residence, student teams solved three challenges related to fall risks, food insecurity, and polypharmacy.

Underrepresentation of Racial Diversity in Simulation: An International Study.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to: 1) examine the presence of racial diversity in simulation centers globally and 2) determine the opinion of the simulation community related to incorporation of a diversity component into international simulation standards.

Background: Leading organizations in nursing education recommend improved efforts toward diversity and inclusion. Research suggests a lack of diversity in simulation-based education.

A Systematic Review of the Use of Standardized Patients as a Simulation Modality in Nursing Education.

Aim: The objective of the study was to search, extract, appraise, and synthesize studies using standardized patients (SPs) in nursing academia to determine how this modality of simulation is being used.

Background: SPs are a common simulation modality used in nursing education.

Method: This review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses.

Child maltreatment: interventions to improve recognition and reporting.

Child maltreatment is a significant public health problem and described as one of the greatest threats facing the health, welfare, and social well-being of children (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012).

Initial evaluation of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars program.

Background: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars (RWJF NFS) program was developed to enhance the career trajectory of young nursing faculty and to train the next generation of nurse scholars. Although there are publications that describe the RWJF NFS, no evaluative reports have been published. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the first three cohorts (n = 42 scholars) of the RWJF NFS program.

Children at risk of maltreatment: identification and intervention in the emergency department.

Child maltreatment is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality, described as one of the greatest threats facing the health, welfare, and social well-being of children in the United States (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012).

Diabetes symptoms, health literacy, and health care use in adult Latinos with diabetes risk factors.

Purpose: This study examined the extent of undetected and untreated type 2 diabetes in a sample of recent Latino immigrants, and looked at the relationships among diabetes symptoms, blood glucose level, diabetes knowledge, health literacy level, and health care use.

Methods: Using a descriptive and correlational design, 144 Latino adults were interviewed.

Results: Many participants had diabetes and reported symptoms, but they were not aware of the disease and were not receiving adequate health care.
