Nursing in the Anthropocene–translating disaster nursing experience into climate crisis nurse education
No full textHealthcare systems in many Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Countries (OECD) are ill prepared for minimizing the risks and withstanding the impacts of natural disasters caused by climate change. In the 21st century, all nursing specialties will be affected by escalating natural disasters as practice is adapted for the Anthropocene. This rapid review defines the current evidence base of nurses’ experiences during natural disasters. Nurses are providing professional services during natural disasters, however, are often personal victims of the events. Nurses report being ill equipped with disaster knowledge and for working with damaged infrastructure during extreme weather events. This challenges their capacity to provide clinical decision-making and leadership under uncertainty. These lessons learned should be translated into education resources that better prepare nurses for climate crisis nursing in the Anthropocene
Reconceptualizing nursing curricula for planetary health: A web-based desktop audit
No full textBackground
Despite international support for integrating planetary health into nursing curricula from academia, clinicians, and students themselves, there is limited evidence of incorporation into undergraduate curricula in Australia and New Zealand.
Aim
To obtain a snapshot of planetary health theory and practice in nursing curricula, to inform future education development at a professional and policy level.
Methods
A descriptive study incorporated a web-based desktop audit of preregistration nursing programs in Australia and New Zealand and surveyed program directors to ascertain the perceived level of importance of climate change and carbon emission reduction in curricula.
Results
The audit and survey demonstrated sparse evidence of planetary health in the Australian and New Zealand undergraduate nursing curriculum (11%), and the sub-optimal response to a survey regarding the integration of planetary health into the curriculum further supported evidence of limited integration.
Conclusion
The pedagogic recontextualization of planetary health within nursing curricula by employing case study concept nodes and utilizing the person-centered care framework by centering patients at the core of planetary health is required to amplify nursing's response to the global health priorities caused by climate change.Full Tex
Exploring First Nations Nursing and Midwifery Leadership development: An international scoping review
No full textBackground
The development of First Nations nurses and midwives is crucial to addressing health inequities stemming from systemic injustices. However, this workforce is significantly underrepresented globally. Understanding the reasons for this underrepresentation and identifying key challenges and opportunities for leadership is necessary.
Aim
This scoping review aimed to explore the challenges and opportunities in leadership development of First Nations nursing and midwifery professionals internationally.
Design
A scoping review was conducted following the framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley (Citation2005).
Data sources
Six databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, PsychInfo, Proquest and Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet were searched.
Methods
The search was performed on 30 January 2024. Items were included if the research focus was on First Nations nursing and midwifery leadership. Full texts were then thematically analysed for overarching themes, and extracted data was charted. After charting, key findings were reviewed, and emerging themes were grouped into common categories.
Results
The scoping review identified a paucity in the contemporary literature, with only ten articles retrieved. Analysis revealed five main theses: (1) systemic injustices impacting leadership opportunities, (2) complex responsibilities beyond typical roles, (3) underrepresentation in leadership positions, (4) shifting from colonial leadership models and (5) effective methods for leadership development. Opportunities identified included promoting equitable leadership, fostering integrated relationships, building cultural resilience and emphasising community-orientated leadership approaches.
Conclusion
Promoting adequate representation and developing culturally safe leadership models are essential steps towards empowering First Nations nurses and midwives in their leadership development. The study highlights the need for targeted leadership development strategies for First Nations nurses and midwives to enhance representation and impact within healthcare systems globally

No full textEmbedding planetary health in nursing education: exploring the barriers and enablers to implementing changes in undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing curriculum
No full textBackground
Due to the escalating severity of the impact of climate change on human and ecological health and its implications for nursing practice, it is imperative that planetary health is embedded into the undergraduate nursing curriculum.
Purpose
This rapid review was undertaken to identify the barriers and enablers to implementing planetary health into the undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing curriculum.
Methods
Databases (PubMed, Education Source, CINAHL, and Scopus) were searched for relevant studies between 2013 and 2023. Seven papers were eligible for review.
Findings
The studies demonstrated that adequate knowledge, skill development, social support, a supportive organization, and access to adequate resources were required to embed changes into the curriculum.
Conclusion
This study has identified enablers that can be leveraged to successfully integrate planetary health into the undergraduate nursing curriculum, preparing nurses who are working in a practice environment impacted by climate change
Facilitating mindfulness-based interventions for anxiety in older people : history, effectiveness, and future possibilities
No full textThe origins of mindfulness go back some 25 centuries to Eastern teachings, including Buddhism and Hinduism. Mindfulness-based interventions gained credence in Western mental health settings in the late 1970s through the work of medical researcher Kabat-Zinn, whose interest in Eastern meditation led him to develop a program for stress reduction. Since then, mindfulness-based interventions have been utilized for various populations, including older people with anxiety. Group mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated benefits for older people with anxiety living in residential aged care and the community. In primary care settings, innovative delivery models for group mindfulness-based interventions could be facilitated by nurses to support older people with anxiety to age in place with dignity. The benefits of mindfulness-based interventions suggest the value of integrating ancient Eastern techniques with modern Western strategies to achieve better health outcomes for older people with mental health concerns. © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

No full textConsidering that psychoanalysis is able to provide a thorough study not only of literary novels, but also paintings, films and series, we will take the author\u27s work George RR Martin entitled “A Song of Ice and Fire” as the object of our investigation. This work is an attempt to articulate a focused relationship in motherhood aspect of the characters Cersei Lannister and Catelyn Stark with psychoanalytical concepts. Through a discussion, will bring a think about child development through the Freudian concept, the Oedipus Complex, joining the Castration Complex concept and how through them, Freud brings the three female outputs, in addition to the creation of opportunities for the emergence of "good enough mother", Winnicott’s concept. Also will cover the relationship of the characters with their eldest sons, respectively, a bridge between the two mothers identifying aspects of their behavior will be held, the way their attitudes are triggered along the plot, which elected their children as love object, and consequently, as the leading end of characters, therefore. As Base will be worked in short Freudian theory, covering later authors such as Miller, Green. Laurent and others.Considerando que a psicanálise é capaz de proporcionar um estudo aprofundado não apenas dos romances literários, mas também das pinturas, do cinema e das séries, tomaremos a obra do autor George R. R. Martin intitulada As Crônicas de Gelo em Fogo como objeto de nossa investigação, buscando articular uma relação voltada para o aspecto da maternidade das personagens Cersei Lannister e Catelyn Stark com conceitos psicanalíticos. Através de uma discussão trará um pensar a respeito do desenvolvimento infantil através do conceito Freudiano, o complexo de Édipo, unindo ao conceito do complexo de castração e como através dos mesmos, Freud traz as três saídas femininas, além das condições para o surgimento da “mãe suficientemente boa” conceito de Winnicott. Também abarcará sobre a relação das personagens com seus filhos primogênitos, respectivamente, será realizada uma ponte entre as duas mães identificando aspectos de seus comportamentos, o modo que suas atitudes se desencadearam ao longo do enredo, que elegeram seus filhos como objeto de amor, e consequentemente, como conduziu ao fim dos personagens, por consequência. Como Base será trabalhada em suma a teoria Freudiana, abrangendo autores posteriores como Miller, Green. Laurent e outros
