COVID-19 experiences and mental health among graduate and undergraduate nursing students in Los Angeles.
This observational study’s purpose was to 1) describe the mental health of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) investigate relationships between stressful COVID-19 experiences and mental health, and (3) examine correlates of mental health service use. The authors created a web-based survey to assess COVID-19 experiences, self-reported mental health, and mental health service utilization among nursing students in Los Angeles in spring 2021 (N = 174, 30.1% response rate). The survey measured stressful COVID-19 experiences (personal COVID-19 illness, hospitalization of close friends or family, and death of close friends or family), loneliness, resilience, depression, anxiety, COVID-19-related traumatic stress, and utilization of campus and noncampus mental health services. Students were found to have high levels of depression (30%), anxiety (38%), and traumatic stress (30%). No relationship was found between stressful COVID-19 experiences and mental health, but loneliness was associated with higher odds of mental health problems and resilience with lower odds. Students with primary caregiving responsibilities (OR = 0.22) and students who identified as Asian/Pacific Islander (OR = 0.24) had lower odds of mental health service utilization.

Staying current: developing just-in-time evidence-ased learning objectives for a maternal cardiac arrest simulation curriculum.
The authors’ objective was to review the latest evidence on resuscitation care for maternal cardiac arrest (MCA) and to gain expert consensus on best practices to inform an evidence-based curriculum. A multidisciplinary panel of stakeholders in MCA developed an evidence-based simulation training, Obstetric Life Support™ (OBLS). The researchers found that a novel three-step process including reaffirmation of evidence process, systematic review, and a modified Research and Development technique resulted in unanimous consensus from experts in MCA resuscitation on existing and new just-in-time best practices to inform the learning objectives for an evidence-based curriculum.
