Mental Health Problems Among Elementary School Students Mandated To E-Learning: A Covid-19 Rapid Review Caveat, Renée M. D'Amore, Angelina N. Halpern, Lauren R. Reed, Kevin M. Gorey

International Journal of School Social Work

Extended lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic mandated millions of students worldwide to e-learning and by default made many of their parents proxy homeschool teachers. Preliminary anecdotal, journalistic and qualitative evidence suggested that elementary school children and their parents were probably most vulnerable to this stressor and most likely to experience mental health problems because of it. We responded with a rapid review of 15 online surveys to estimate the magnitude of such risks and their predictors between 2020 and 2021. The pooled relative risk of mental health problems among school children and their parents was substantial (RR = 1.97). Moreover, …

Death Cafés As A Strategy To Foster Compassionate Communities: Contributions For Death And Grief Literacy

The International Journal of Ecopsychology (IJE)

The death-positive movement, the most recent manifestation of the death awareness movement, contends that modern society is suffering from a “death taboo” and that people should talk more openly about death. This movement is striving to shift the dialogue about (and place of) death and dying into community spaces. Death literacy is defined as a set of skills and knowledge enabling people to learn about, understand, and act on end-of-life and death-care options. People and groups with a high level of death literacy have a context-specific comprehension of the death system and can more easily adapt to it, becoming better …

E-Delphi Technique In Postgraduate Registered Nursing Education And Competency Development: A Scoping Review, Natalie A. Bownes, Natalie Giannotti

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

Background: It is common for nursing programs in Canada to hire part-time clinical instructors (CIs) to teach the practical components of curricula. Although experts in their field, these Registered Nurses (RNs) don’t have any formal preparation in education. Additionally, there are no current established competencies for CIs in Canada. This void in the Canadian literature warrants a search of competency development using the e-Delphi technique. The e-Delphi technique is a commonly used surveying technique for competency development in healthcare.
