“…Respondents believed that telehealth and e-mental health would be helpful if it was accessible to them but in their view it was significantly under-used. The finding concurs with other research and scholarship that has determined e-mental health initiatives are valuable for young rural people and their families (Rickwood 2012, Christenson & Petrie 2013a,b, Wilson et al 2014, Wilson et al 2013, Wilson 2014b. Respondents reported that mental health care discharge planning was limited to landline telephone calls between nurses and parents, and young people.…”

“…This social capital includes nurses who are the most plentiful providers of rural health services (Rajkumar & Hoolahan 2004). All registered nurses in Australia, similar to most other developed countries, are educationally and professionally prepared to provide initial mental health assessment and intervention to people with mental health problems (Happell et al 2014). Rural nurses have been recognised as frequently operating as specialists in general care (Wilson 2007).…”

Health professionals can hold stigmatizing views about people with mental illness. In addition to being discriminatory, these beliefs cause anxiety that can affect learning in the clinical environment. A review of an undergraduate nursing curriculum introduced the Modern Apprenticeship curriculum model and provided an opportunity for an educational intervention designed to address stigmatizing beliefs about people with mental health and addiction problems. The aim of the present study was to measure the extent to which an educational interventionguided clinical experience in an acute mental health unit during the first year of the curriculumdecreased stigmatizing beliefs of undergraduate nurses towards those with mental health and addiction issues. In a before-and-after design, Corrigan's Attribution Questionnaire was used to collect data pre-and post-guided clinical experience in an acute mental health unit. The intervention resulted in a significant positive change in stigmatizing attitudes for four of the nine factors tested. There was a non-significant positive change in three factors, while two factors showed a non-significant negative change. Using guided clinical experience as an educational intervention in the first year of an undergraduate nursing curriculum can contribute to positive change in undergraduate nurses' stigmatizing beliefs. The findings have implications for teaching of mental health content in undergraduate nursing programmes.

Abstract. The popularity rate of first aid knowledge is one of the most important indicators to measure the level of modern civilization in a country. In colleges and universities, popularizing first aid knowledge is of great practical significance to improve students' awareness of emergency response and disaster self-help ability. This paper expounds the current situation of the popularization of first aid knowledge among college students, and analyzes the predicament of the popularization of first aid knowledge education for college students. Wuhan University of Technology is taken as an example to describe the countermeasures of the popularization of first aid knowledge education among college students from three aspects. 1) To enhance students' interest in first aid knowledge's popularized education from relying on diversified carriers; 2) to build three-dimensional emergency resources and broaden the ways of education; and 3) to formulate multi-level contents and to promote educational effect of first aid knowledge. Finally, we summarize the effectiveness of first aid knowledge education for college students.
