In-simulation Debriefing Increases Therapeutic Communication Skills Background This article describes a formative simulation experience designed to prepare prelicensure nursing students to interact with psychiatric patients. Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 2 debriefing styles (in-simulation and postsimulation) on nursing students' knowledge, performance, and anxiety related to working with psychiatric patients. The study also explored students' perceptions of the efficacy of in-simulation debriefing. Methods The study used a quasi-experimental, mixed-method design. Results There were no statistically significant differences between groups in knowledge, assessment, or anxiety. However, both groups demonstrated significant gains in all areas. Conclusions In-simulation debriefing is an effective tool for teaching therapeutic communication to nursing students.

Academic and Community–Engaged Approach to Integrating Open Educational Resources in Population Health Course Background Open educational resources (OERs) increase access to high-quality academic learning materials and promote affordable education in nursing. Problem Integrating OERs into existing nursing courses can be arduous for faculty. Approach An academic and community–engaged approach involved faculty, university librarians, and community stakeholders. Community leaders and population health experts helped identify OERs for a population health theory course. Outcomes Community stakeholders identified potential OERs, and university librarians assisted faculty in evaluating the OERs for quality. Conclusions Findings illustrate the value of faculty engaging with community stakeholders to help identify OERs and with university librarians to evaluate the OERs to ensure that the information presented is relevant and applicable to course objectives.

Improving Student Engagement in Community Disaster Preparedness Background Recent events continue to demonstrate the need for effective community-level disaster preparedness. Nurses remain key figures in supporting local response efforts and disaster education for unexpected events. Problem Although improved efforts have promoted disaster nursing practice knowledge, nursing education remains challenged in engaging students in disaster management efforts. Approach Students collaborated over 4 semesters to assess and deliver a variety of disaster-related interventions to the community. Outcomes The multisemester project improved students' understanding of disaster nursing, the nursing program's engagement with community partners, and community members' knowledge and ability for emergency preparedness. Conclusion The project was instrumental in improving the community's awareness and engagement of the regional nursing programs in community-based emergency response. The details of the project are provided for replication by other faculty and nursing programs.
