ABSTRACT

As the field of nursing moves toward competency-based education, faculty need to adapt teaching and learning strategies to meet standards for assessing core behaviors of graduate psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner students. This article reviews a psychotherapy skills-based learning assignment at Frontier Nursing University that was adapted to meet developing competency-based learning standards. The assignment utilizes prerecorded video scenarios to provide students with opportunities to reinforce psychotherapy skills during didactic coursework. Assessment is conducted via an analytic rubric and specific feedback is given to each student in writing.

Nature Mental Health, Published online: 09 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s44220-024-00319-wTranslational science is often characterized metaphorically, as bridging the gaps among multidisciplinary research areas. However, in reality, translational work is often separate or excluded from clinical research. Integrating elements of translational and clinical work into more general mental health research is key to innovation and progress.

A role for Shugoshin in human cilia?
We have recently described a novel role for the conserved centromeric/kinetochore protein and cohesin protector, Shugoshin, in cilia of C. elegans. Worms are unusual in that the sole Shugoshin protein ( SGO-1 ) is dispensable for chromosome segregation but required for cilia function in fully differentiated sensory neurons. Depletion of sgo-1 leads to an array […]
sut-2 loss of function mutants protect against tau-driven shortened lifespan and hyperactive pharyngeal pumping in a C. elegans model of tau toxicity.
Expression of human tau in C. elegans neurons causes progressive, age-associated loss of motor coordination, selective neurodegeneration, and shortened lifespan. Loss of function (LOF) mutations in the conserved gene sut-2 protects against progressive motor uncoordination and neurodegeneration in models of tauopathy. To determine whether sut-2 LOF also protects against shortened lifespan of tau transgenic C. […]
