RESUMO
Suicide in emerging adults (18-29 years) is increasing in the United States, especially amidst coronavirus disease 2019. How the use of technology/social media affects suicidal behaviors is unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes and beliefs of emerging adults about suicide and identify whether relationships exist with technology/social media use. A total of 297 participants completed an online survey examining attitudes about suicide and technology use. Results indicate a normalization of suicide. Significant relationships were found with technology/social media, including a positive relationship between YouTube and glorification/normalization of suicide. Recommendations for primary and secondary suicide prevention are made for nurse practitioners in various settings.
RESUMO
Nurse educators are challenged to develop effective strategies to teach genomic content, increase communication skills, and encourage teamwork among doctoral advanced practice nursing students. Consensus testing is a collaborative learning strategy where students work together in small groups using communication and teamwork to solve problems. This descriptive survey study evaluated consensus testing as a strategy to increase doctoral students' understanding of genomic content and provide practical experience with teamwork and collaboration in a blended course. Findings from 38 doctoral students indicated that understanding of genomic content increased as students gained practical experience with strategies for collaboration, effective teamwork, and leadership skills.
