Working with Children in Crisis on a Behavioral Health Unit: Need for an Age-Appropriate Restraint Debriefing Policy
No full textYoung mental/ behavior health patients have a higher risk of restraints among other age groups, especially with the reoccurrences of multiple restraints. The patient debriefing form made to help decrease those reoccurrences has not been updated since 2006 and is primarily made for adults.

ELLs and STEM Education
No full textWithin the scope of STEM-based subjects—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—English Language Learners, particularly long-term ELLs, are a demographic that has under-performed relative to their non-ELL peers. This paper will examine several of the issues that encumber ELL success with regards to STEM. It will also address current solutions available locally and nationally, as limited as they may be, in closing that widening gap. The main purpose of this document is to create a social awareness program that bridges ELLs and their community to STEM-based knowledge. By promoting lessons, activities, and opportunities with local programs, this project will springboard home-school partnerships, encourage ELLs and their families to invest in secondary language acquisition, and motivate them to think of solutions affecting their community. Additionally, we will conclude by offering ideas to foster outreach, support service-learning opportunities, and continued exploration in this important area of ELL development
Mindsets in Health Professions: A Scoping Review
No full textThe growth mindset model has been linked with enhancing academic success in college students. A scoping review was conducted detailing evidence of the growth mindset model's application in health professions. Databases searched included: MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC, Scopus, Conference Papers Index, Embase, and Education Database. A hand search was also carried out. 1296 articles were reviewed. Inclusion/exclusion resulted in 22 articles from health professions articles: medical education (10), nursing (3), veterinary (3), pharmacy (2), physiotherapy (1), and general health professions education (3). This study demonstrated that fixed mindset student learners may avoid constructive feedback, hide errors, and express negative maladaptive behaviors that threaten their learning. To cultivate an adaptive lifelong learning health professional, the growth mindset model shows promise and should be integrated into curricula. In closing, many articles were not empirical research. Implications: The growth mindset model shows promise for academic success in health professions education, but more robust studies are warranted
