Article Abstract
Although studies have documented the importance of the academic environment in promoting positive outcomes among students, few quantitative studies in nursing have been performed to identify strategies through which a nurturing learning environment can be created. A randomized two-group pretest-posttest design was used to investigate effects of an informal peer group experience on baccalaureate nursing students' emotional well-being and professional socialization as caring practitioners. Groups did not differ significantly on the outcomes measured in this study. As a whole, students showed statistically significant increases in anxiety, depression, and negative affect, along with decreased self-esteem and positive affect during the junior year of nursing school. Psychological problems and stress-related symptoms have been well documented among college students in general and professional students in particular. Although the findings from this study are not unique, they suggest the need to reconsider strategies by which the affective and professional socialization goals of undergraduate nursing education can be achieved.

The Role of Worry and Affectivity on Physiological Responses To an Acute Stressor.

The explanation for how acutely stressful experiences could result in proximal health outcomes has been lacking in occupational health research. Although scholars have argued that individual personality and affect could worsen health behaviors, we believe that these qualities also could intensify the experience of acute stressors, potentially explaining why acutely stress encounters result in poor health outcomes for some people, but not others. Our study examines three individual differences - worry, negative affect, and positive affect - that are relevant to differential stress anticipation, reactivity, and recovery.

Background: Community Access to Palliative Care via Interprofessional Teams Improvement (CAPACITI) is a virtual educational program designed to support primary care providers in delivering a palliative approach to care. This study evaluated whether expert-facilitated sessions result in greater self-rated competency than a self-directed format across three CAPACITI modules: Identification and Assessment, Communication, and Ongoing Management.
Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial where 566 interprofessional primary care team members were randomized to facilitated or self-directed delivery of the CAPACITI program.
