Summary: Efforts to incorporate social justice principles into PhD nursing programs have been ongoing for many years, but have become more prominent in recent years due to civil unrest, threats to human rights, and health disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper provides an overview of the School of Nursing's initiatives and processes to ensure that social justice principles are integrated into the PhD program. These initiatives include the formation of a Social Justice Taskforce, conducting listening sessions with alumni and current PhD students, surveying PhD students for recommendations, and engaging key stakeholders to align student priorities with institutional programs and practices. Lessons learned emphasize the importance of diverse perspectives, acknowledging areas for improvement, involving students in transformative action, and collaborating with faculty, staff, and leaders to address systemic injustices in PhD nursing education.

Summary: Research shows that MABIs are associated with improved health outcomes in various areas of physical therapist practice. This article aims to describe MABIs, discuss their relevance to physical therapist practice, and identify outcome measures related to health behavior change. It is suggested that incorporating MABIs into patient care can have positive impacts on physical and mental well-being. However, the evidence of MABIs needs to be translated into minimum standards for health promotion and prevention of chronic diseases.

Summary: This article explores the constitution of social justice pedagogies in health and physical education (HPE) across Sweden, Norway, and New Zealand, and how HPE teaching practice can be understood from the perspectives of regulative, normative, and cultural elements of social justice. The study finds that institutionalized governing systems influence the enactment of social justice differently in these three countries, and highlights the impact of regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive elements on practice.

Summary: Structural competency is a concept that helps address health inequities and promote anti-racism in healthcare. This article conducts a concept analysis using Rodgers' evolutionary method, finding that structural competency involves recognizing and addressing structural inequities, developing skills, collaborating across disciplines, and challenging the reproduction of inequities over time. The multidisciplinary applications of structural competency demonstrate its potential for promoting health equity and anti-racism in nursing care, education, research, and healthcare delivery.

Summary: This article discusses the insights gained from a Community of Practice (CoP) initiative in a mental health inpatient unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative aimed to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the engagement and support of individuals in mental distress. Trauma-informed principles and humanizing nursing care were found to be crucial in providing therapeutic support during the pandemic. Other factors, such as nuanced communication while wearing personal protective equipment, were discussed to mitigate the effects of safety measures. Addressing moral distress among frontline health workers was also acknowledged as important for future policy responses to COVID-19.

Summary: This study found that nursing students generally have low competence in informatics, with only 40.84% able to proficiently use clinical systems. Formal informatics education in the curriculum is limited and lacking consistency, leading to a lack of understanding of important informatics tools. Factors such as academic year level, computer experience, and previous experience using clinical systems significantly impact students' perceived informatics competence.
