“…She expressed, “but there weren’t really any services offered.” For these participants, they were left to grieve in silence. These findings support current literature related to the need for postvention strategies incorporating an established ritual and involving campus experts to provide initial and ongoing support for the bereaved (McCusker & Witherow, 2012; Streufert, 2004).…”

The unimaginable suddenly happens; without warning, a nursing student suddenly dies, creating an aftermath of emotional turmoil for peers and faculty. Upon receipt of the news, classmates are in absolute disbelief and shock, and struggle to comprehend the reality of the death. For many of these young adults, this is the first experience with peer death. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the grief experiences, coping strategies, and reactions of nursing students following the sudden death of a classmate. Purposive sampling yielded nine participants from four different universities who experienced the death of their classmate within the previous year. Nine major themes emerged as the participants reflected on their emotional struggle with grief, both as a peer and a member of a helping profession. This study yielded a rich understanding of the grief experience for nursing students, while providing insights for policy development and supportive interventions for faculty, counselors, and administrators.

“…There was a bond of comfort and unity ever present in the data among nursing classmates grieving the loss of their peer. Termed collective grief by McCusker and Witherow (2012), students all shared a common denominator, the loss of their classmate. The participants reported a sense of unity, “togetherness” in their grief.…”

As a densely populated place, the occurrence of accidents on campus causes serious concerns, while the construction of an intelligent and safe campus is also one of the hotly debated topics. Starting from the perspective of the development process of security events, this paper comprehensively perfects each stage and applies reasonable methods, hoping to reduce the cost of human and material resources in campus security. First, the abnormal behaviour data set and the identification model based on time and space fusion are constructed to identify the abnormal behaviours on campus. Further on, through the agent reward function construction and state transfer function solution and algorithm research, the multi-intelligent-agent tracking and cooperation based on the game idea are realised to provide efficient real-time security alarm and decision suggestion. Finally, the safety resource path planning platform is designed, and the simulation analysis is conducted combined with the traffic network of New Normal University. The results turn out to identify the abnormal behaviour, work out the optimal decision as well as figure out the optimal path of security resources planning and verify the effectiveness of the mathematical model in a simulation manner.
