Amy Charlton, lecturer in Belmont’s School of Nursing, and Dr. Linda Wofford, professor and director of the graduate nursing program, co-authored a paper published in the Journal of Professional Nursing, the official journal of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
The article, “Maladaptive coping behaviors in pre-licensure nursing students: An integrative review,” notes nursing students as more likely than other majors to have a mental health crisis, and burnout is reduced and outcomes are improved when at-risk nursing students are identified by faculty.
Through their research, Charlton and Wofford emphasize the need for stress management coaching and mentoring services for nursing student success.
