Implicit Bias in Nursing: Student Reflections.

ABSTRACT: Implicit bias can lead to health disparities related to a patient's race, religion, sexual identity, and mental illness. Students responded to the Implicit Association Test for race followed by a structured reflection. Student reflections were evaluated qualitatively. Results hold a key to future educational interventions/training to help nursing students become consciously aware of implicit biases and choose behaviors that are non-biased.

Cinematic Simulation: An Innovative Approach for Teaching Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing.

ABSTRACT: With fewer clinical placements for psychiatric mental health (PMH) education and a steady increase in student enrollment, faculty search for creative ways to replace patient care experiences for students to achieve high-quality learning outcomes. Simulation is an acceptable practice for patient care experiences, but research related to PMH simulation is limited. This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of cinematic simulation, an innovative PMH clinical experience where students engage in watching films while performing the various aspects of the nursing role.
