Summary: This study found that nurse educators are not adequately prepared to teach interprofessional collaboration, with most lacking formal faculty development in the area and having limited understanding of interprofessional collaborative practice. Their lack of awareness of available resources to help incorporate interprofessional collaboration into their curriculum highlights the need for further faculty development in this area if nursing educators are to effectively teach these concepts to students.

Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive review of studies on simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The most promising process is found to be simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal (SNDPR). Factors influencing SNDPR are analyzed and future research directions are suggested, including balancing microbial competition, achieving continuous flow operation, and maximizing phosphorus recovery.

Summary: This research aims to contribute to the field of technology in education, focusing on the digitalization trend accelerated by Covid. Student perceptions of digital educators' capabilities under evidence-based learning have been rarely studied. Through a survey with 243 respondents using DigComEdu, this study examines the relationship between students' perception of educators' digital competence (EDC) and their self-perception of learning. The findings show that 71% of students believe that the digital competence of their faculty positively affects their learning process. The study also proposes a model of four elements affecting students' self-perception of learning, with significant relationships confirmed in three hypotheses.

Summary: Forensic mental health services provide care to individuals in secure psychiatric hospitals and community teams, with a need to measure outcomes for patient safety, progress monitoring, treatment planning, and service evaluation. England has developed a new outcome measure for forensic mental health services through patient interviews and stakeholder focus groups, identifying six thematic analysis domains. This new measure, FORensic oUtcome Measure (FORUM), includes both patient-reported and clinician-reported measures, with further assessment needed for tracking patient progress and facilitating shared decision-making and care planning.

Summary: There are currently no specific guidelines on the standards and structure of postgraduate perinatal psychiatric training in Europe. Only 6 out of 34 countries provide specialist perinatal psychiatry training, while the majority of countries expressed the desire to include it in their national training curricula. There is a gap between the expected skills and the available training for psychiatrists in addressing the mental healthcare needs of women in the perinatal period.
