Addressing the Harmful Effects of Gaslighting in Academic Nursing
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Details
Gaslighting is an insidious and subtle form of workplace bullying characterized by emotional abuse and psychological manipulation which causes the person on the receiving end to question their beliefs, memories, or perceptions of reality. Gaslighting can lead to confusion, loss of confidence, uncertainty of one's mental stability, and negatively impact the workplace culture. Despite the negative impacts of gaslighting, some individuals tolerate the behavior for fear of losing their job, work identity, or financial security. When left unaddressed, gaslighting can cause targets to second guess or question their reality, ruminate about past conversations, or blame themselves for ongoing conflicts. During this webinar, we'll talk about what gaslighting is, how it shows up in nursing schools, and what we can do about it.
Objectives:
- Describe gaslighting behavior and its effects.
- Identify 1-2 examples of gaslighting behavior occurring in nursing academe.
- Implement 1-2 strategies to address the harmful effects of gaslighting behaviors.
Note: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs. Visit AACN's On-Demand Webinars to watch.

Federal Policies and Structural Inequities in American Indian Health
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Details
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) are the ‘unseen’ populations in the US. Americans know very little about the people Indigenous to North America, and it has been by design. The Health Professions education, research, and practice often rely on the asterisk as a placeholder in lieu of this missing information (Shotton, H., Lowe, S., & Waterman, S., 2023). This leaves the AIAN patient population with less than inadequate care and outcomes. Native faculty, staff, students, and patients can feel like they are ‘infiltrating’ institutions not designed for them or, in fact, designed in ways that constructively keep them out. The Future of Nursing reports were the seminal reports for the profession moving forward, with the first in 2010 being the most downloaded IOM (now NAM) report. The first Future of Nursing Report had two mentions of AIAN, and the current Report has less than one page focused on AIAN in a 500-page report. AIAN shares all the same issues, barriers, and systemic racism as other BIPOC groups, but as partially sovereign nations within the US, they have legal, geopolitical, and land-based issues none of the other groups have. To reach real solutions, there must be persistent, sustained, adequate, system-wide education on this very specific population for nursing and beyond.
Objectives:
- Recognize the impact of past and present federal legislation on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous communities.
- Describe the health disparities impacting American Indian and Alaska Native populations and their policy origins.
- Demonstrate best practices for allyship to Indigenous communities as a healthcare provider.
