ABSTRACT
Problem-solving and critical thinking are essential in nursing; therefore, nurse educators must equip students with these skills. Through a campus-wide initiative to foster problem-solving skills (Quality Enhancement Plan), five school of nursing faculty implemented new pedagogical approaches in face-to-face and online courses. This article discusses the problem-based approaches in nursing education implemented at a state university and their effects on student learning.

Postpartum depression affects approximately 900,000 women annually, but only approximately 6% of these women seek psychological help (Postpartum, Progress, 2016). This lack of help-seeking behavior must be addressed to decrease the negative effects of postpartum depression on maternal and infant outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe the barriers that prevent women from seeking psychological help and provide suggestions to address these barriers.
