Abstract: This resource guide was written for teachers; school counselors and nurses; principals and school administrators; other professionals in health care, family planning, alcohol and
other drug abuse (AODA) prevention and treatment; and community agencies who work with pregnant teenagers and their partners. It is designed to help these practitioners educate adolescents about the
effects of alcohol and other drug use during pregnancy and parenting. Basic information is included about alcohol, other drugs and pregnancy and about special risks for AODA that affect pregnant
teenagers. Strategies are suggested to help pregnant teenagers develop self-esteem, decision-making and other skills, and the support they need to avoid alcohol and other drugs. Tips are offered for
intervention and counseling with pregnant adolescents. The emphasis is on psychoactive drugs, also known as mind-altering or mood-altering drugs, including alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs like
marijuana and cocaine, and some prescription and over-the-counter medication. Several activities are included throughout the book that can be used with teenagers who are pregnant. Copies of these
exercises as worksheets are provided at the end of the guide. (NB)

Abstract: This report describes a service model developed for the Division of Children and Family Services in Wenatchee, Washington that attempts to address the needs of families impacted
by substance abuse. The service area is rural and has an overwhelming drug problem. Caseload trends provide evidence for a large number of drug-related referrals and an increase in the placement of
children in care. In response to these trends, the program was formulated in order to provide intensive in-home services to pregnant and parenting women. These women have family histories of
dependency, violence, and abuse; are often on public aid; and generally lack self-esteem. The intervention attempts to structure their lives towards predictability. The services provided reduce the
risk to children posed by their parents' substance abuse and prevent the need for out-of-home placement. Services also expedite the movement of children who are out of their homes into permanent
residences. Specific services include drug assessments and counseling, on-site nursing care, recovery support groups, education about community services, and day care. (BC)

Abstract: Nurses' attitudes toward the alcoholic can have a profound impact on the person suffering from alcoholism. These attitudes can affect the alcoholic's care and even whether the
alcoholic chooses to recover. This study investigated attitudes of approximately 68 nurses employed in hospitals, 49 nurses in treatment facilities, 58 nursing students, and 27 instructors in schools
of nursing. The independent variables were: level of nursing education achieved, type of nursing position held, formal alcoholism education, and alcoholism in the family. Dependent variables were
psychological etiology, social rejection, physical genetic, humanitarian, moral weakness, and medical illness. Five composite null hypotheses were tested. The results appear to support the following
generalizations: (1) participants working in alcoholism treatment facilities had a more accepting attitude toward alcoholics; (2) nurses who were Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses with
baccalaureate degrees had a more humane attitude toward alcoholics; (3) those who received their nursing education during the interval 1975-1985 had a more humane attitude toward alcoholics; (4)
college faculty were more likely to view alcoholism as a medical illness; and (5) nurses who reported no alcoholism in their families had a stronger belief in the genetic predisposition toward
alcoholism. There were associations between attitude toward alcoholics and the type of position held, level of education, when the nursing education was received, and alcoholism in the family.

Abstract: The Roberts Assistance Program (RAP), a model program for student assistance and suicide prevention established in 1988 by the Owen J. Roberts School District in Chester County,
Pennsylvania provides services to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Core teams of school professionals from the high school and middle school have received student assistance program (SAP)
training to identify and intervene with students who are at risk for substance abuse, depression, suicide, eating disorders, and other emotional concerns. Core teams will also be trained at the
elementary school level. Teams consist of a building administrator, counselor, nurse, several teachers, and the coordinator of student assistance programs and services. Prevention services offered by
RAP include such educational efforts as the K-12 prevention curriculum for students, faculty in-service programs, and community education. Intervention services include the use of crisis response
teams and the establishment of specific procedural guidelines to address drug and alcohol emergencies, cases of child abuse or neglect, runaways, suicide ideation, suicide threats, and suicide
attempts. Postvention services are designed to enable school personnel to provide a sense of calm and security for students during the aftermath of a tragedy. Postvention guidelines have been
established for administrators, teachers, support staff, individuals at drop-in centers, and the crisis response team. Guidelines outline notification procedures, postvention services, and follow-up
strategies. An evaluation of the program revealed that 92% of students believed that the schools should provide such services. (NB)

Abstract: This is an overview of an evaluation model developed to be used with the Faculty Development Program in Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse clinical training program for professional
school faculty in medicine, nursing and social work. The evaluation model is in two major parts, a national evaluation which examines program process and outcome across all the grantee institutions;
and grantee evaluations in which each grantee institution designs and carries out process and outcome evaluations of the impact of curriculum change on clinical practice behavior. The description of
the macro-level national evaluation includes evaluation questions on process, implementation, and outcome. The three major sources of data for this evaluation are listed: core program data formats (a
standardized format for collecting data on trainees and on program implementation and outcomes); annual report narratives; and site visits. Because the micro-level individual grantee evaluations are
to be designed and carried out by the grantee institutions, only a brief description of the required components and some suggestions regarding instruments and collaboration are covered. There follows
a paragraph on technical assistance and resource development. Attached is a figure which gives a visual overview of the entire evaluation model. (JB)

Abstract: This book provides an organized, systematic overview of the basic aspects of health program management, nursing practice, and human relations issues in camp nursing. A foremost
assumption is that health care in most camps needs improvement. Good health is dependent upon interventions involving social, environmental, and lifestyle factors that impact health more than health
care services alone. Professional registered nurses are the best prepared health care providers for most camps. Management skills, community health preparation, broad-based general education
background, and emphasis on prevention and health promotion are integral parts of the baccalaureate degree in nursing. Each camp is a small community, and camp nurses must know the nature,
characteristics, and informal politics of said community. Health care should be a collaborative effort among its members. A needs assessment survey by the Dean's Fund of the Intercollegiate Center
for Nursing Education in Spokane, Washington was the basis for the information included in this book. Chapters cover traditional issues such as developing a health program, first aid, records,
communicable diseases, and injury prevention; as well as more challenging community and professional issues of ethical behavior, violence, substance abuse, and sexuality. Appendices outline American
Camping Association standards, staff and camper training in prevention and health promotion, procedures for analyzing accidents, OSHA regulations on occupational exposure to pathogens, and relevant
developmental characteristics of young adults; provide sample checklists and recordkeeping forms; and list additional resources. Contains an index. (JAT)

Abstract: This digest highlights ways in which new and seasoned teachers are developing a repertoire of skills and knowledge that complement education reform efforts. For example, rather
than seeing each stage of a teacher's professional life as distinct and separate, a more holistic view of the development of teacher from novice to advanced practitioner is recommended. Inservice
programs must be recast to reflect the following paradigm shifts: (1) from deficit-based to competency-based approaches; (2) from replication to reflection; (3) from learning separately to learning
together; and (4) from centralization to decentralization or site-based management. New concepts that have emerged in the past decade include professional development, partner, or clinical schools;
educational partnerships; and mentoring programs. Societal issues such as crime, drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, homelessness, and child abuse have also influenced how teachers practice and are
trained. To meet these challenges greater collaboration between social service providers and educators has become necessary. Results of this collaboration are evident in comprehensive service
programs involving schools of education, medicine, nursing, criminal justice, and social work. (Contains eight references.) (LL)

Alcoholism among Psychologists: A Review of the Literature.

Alcoholism, a major health problem currently being addressed by other professions, has unique features, manifestations, and ramifications for psychologists. Salient aspects of alcoholism in
psychology include etiological and motivational factors, characteristic behaviors, and specific risk factors in the work environment of psychologists. Alcoholism, conceptualized as a deeply embedded

Abstract: Alcoholism, a major health problem currently being addressed by other professions, has unique features, manifestations, and ramifications for psychologists. Salient aspects of
alcoholism in psychology include etiological and motivational factors, characteristic behaviors, and specific risk factors in the work environment of psychologists. Alcoholism, conceptualized as a
deeply embedded permanent addiction not resolvable by conscious, planned effort, constitutes a special dilemma for psychologists in that many psychologists strongly believe in the powers of the mind
and in the capacity to comprehend and alter behavior. This paper reviews current efforts to deal with alcoholism in an effective and humane manner within the professions; these efforts are usually
modeled after the self-help principles of Alcoholics Anonymous in combination with professional treatment. Included are present efforts in psychology to deal with alcoholism among psychologists.
Although interest in alcoholism within the professions runs high, specific programs and data regarding alcohol problems among psychologists remain limited. The literature reviewed focuses on five
areas: (1) Defining, diagnosing, and identifying alcoholism; (2) Alcoholism among professionals: nature and scope of the problem; (3) Prevalence of alcoholism among professionals; (4) Treatment of
alcoholism for professionals; and (5) Alcoholism among psychologists. "Citations of particular relevance to educators cover: (1) alcohol impaired university professors; (2) problem drinking among
first-year medical students; (3) alcohol use among nurse educators; (4) substance abuse among medical trainees. (RJM)

Abstract: In 1979, Delta College, in Michigan, established a bioethics requirement for all nursing students. This paper describes a project to teach one of the required ethics course to
local hospitals to observe students while they work and discuss ethical dilemmas as they arose. Introductory sections discuss project rationale and procedures, indicating that the instructor
accompanied students on their rounds, learned patients' case histories, discussed ethical issues as they arose, and held discussion sessions at the end of each day. The next section provides two case
studies of student observations at the pediatric unit of a local hospital, detailing the ethical issues raised. The first describes an adolescent with cerebral palsy at the developmental level of 4
months which raised issues concerning the decision-making prerogative of nurses and whether a patient's quality of life should be a criterion for treatment. The second addressed the question of
whether a 1-month old infant decreasing in weight and head circumference was a victim of child abuse or neglect. Next, three case studies of psychiatric patients at another hospital highlight the
issue of medical staff or societal intervention, describing student interactions with a suicidal, depressed woman; a violent adolescent; and a young man with a history of substance abuse who
continues to receive a substantial student grant. The final sections discuss the general success of the project in terms of student interaction and instructor enrichment. (ECC)

A Course in Literature about Illness and Disability.

Charles Brooks Dodson
1987 English Document (ED) 7

A "special themes in literature" course about illness and disability was designed to help future nurses to understand the human, rather than the clinical, dimensions of impairment and its effects on
the sufferer as well as the sufferer's family, associates, and community. The objectives of the course were to look at such matters as attitudes of and toward the person afflicted, how both
individuals and society try to cope with the situation, and the image of medical and other health professionals found in the literature....

Title: A Course in Literature about Illness and Disability.

Abstract: A "special themes in literature" course about illness and disability was designed to help future nurses to understand the human, rather than the clinical, dimensions of impairment
and its effects on the sufferer as well as the sufferer's family, associates, and community. The objectives of the course were to look at such matters as attitudes of and toward the person afflicted,
how both individuals and society try to cope with the situation, and the image of medical and other health professionals found in the literature. The course content consisted of four units:
catastrophic illness and disability; mental illness; addiction; and intellectual impairment. Especially effective literary works included: "The Glass Menagerie," in which Laura's limp is more a
symbol than a cause of her emotional problems; Doris Lund's "Eric," a first-person account of the author's teenaged son's intense struggle against leukemia; and Joanne Greenberg's "I Never Promised
You a Rose Garden" and Barbara Gordon's "I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can" which deal with mental illness and valium dependency. Other effective works used were William Burroughs'"Junky" and O"Neill's
"Long Day's Journey into Night" dealing with drug addiction and alcoholism, and Coleen MacCullough's "Tim" and Mary McCracken's "A Circle of Children" which center on intellectual impairment. The
reading list was supplemented with several films and guest lecturers. (KEH)

Abstract: A multimodal career education model entitled BEST IDEA was field tested as an approach to the problem of retaining skilled nurses in the work force. Using multimodal assessment
and intervention strategies derived from the multimodal behavior therapy of Arnold Lazarus, researchers developed an individualized career development assessment and counseling program for use with
student nurses. To test the program, researchers offered a two-semester-hour applied psychology course that was designed to serve as an entire unit of multimodal career education to 17 freshmen
entering the career ladder nursing program at Odessa College in Texas in the spring of 1981. Addressed during the course were the following modalities: behavior, emotion, self-talk, thought,
interpersonal relationships, developmental level, economic and societal factors, and alpha factors (those which affect physiological functioning, such as drug or alcohol abuse). Nine of the initial
17 students completed the program, causing the researchers to conclude that many students changed perceptions about careers in nursing. Participation in the program was associated with gains in
assertiveness, sex role flexibility, personal adjustment, and career commitment. Based on the field test, researchers recommended a number of group and individual activities for use in any career
development program. (MN)

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to relate the competencies of the Nursing Program at Delaware County Community College to national morbidity statistics and to recommend
curriculum changes based on this analysis. Existing terminal objectives of the program and each nursing module were compared with college-wide terminal objectives, overlap was eliminated, and the
objectives were restated in competency-based terms. The four nursing modules were then analyzed in terms of the terminal objectives, and detailed competency statements in theoretical and clinical
areas were developed. Behavioral objectives, with stated levels of mastery, were provided for each competency. The resulting extensive compilation of competencies and behavioral objectives was
compared with the measurable abilities tested in the state board examination and with data on the incidence of diseases and other medical conditions gathered from 1,887 short-term hospitals
participating in the 1975 Professional Activities Study. This analysis of curriculum content revealed that diseases of the genito-urinary system, drug addiction, hernias, and appendicitis were not
included in any nursing course. Only one aspect of disaster nursing was covered, but overlapping content in Nursing I, II, and III was discovered in several areas. Statistical data from the
Professional Activities Study, tables correlating these data with the terminal objectives, and the extensive lists of competencies and behavioral objectives for each nursing module are included in
the document. (BB)

Abstract: In 1987, the Governor of Alaska's Interim Commission on Children and Youth was given two tasks: (1) to develop a plan for a first-class child care system for working parents
statewide that is workable, fair and sensibly integrates with the public schools; and (2) to produce a comprehensive plan to combat the problems facing Alaskans so they are prepared to be
economically self-sufficient. Offered in this report are the Commission's primary recommendations, child care recommendations, and recommendations concerning the problems of youth. Primary
recommendations focus on parent education, life skills education, problem prevention, professional training, literacy education, program coordination, community interventions, youth leadership and
social participation, school nursing and public health nursing services, school counseling, natural helpers/peer counseling, mental health minimum funding, children and family research, adolescent
survey research, employment of qualified natives, rural services, juvenile diversion, background checks, and law enforcement. Child care recommendations concern program quality, affordability,
accessibility, and parent support and training. Recommendations for intervention in the problems of youth concern family violence, teen suicide, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, runaway youth, and
dropouts. Recommendations are accompanied by background information about the issue addressed. The concluding recommendation advocates the establishment of a permanent Commission on Children and
Youth. (RH)

institutions, while the 1984 sample consisted of 170 students at the same institutions 2 years later. There were significant differences over time in responses to only three of the alcohol knowledge
items. The findings indicate stability in the drinking patterns and problems of nursing students as well as in their alcohol knowledge. This suggests that greater efforts should be made to improve
alcohol education at the collegiate level, especially in the preparation of nurses. Fifteen references are listed. (SW)

Acquiring Expertise and Cognitive Skills in the Process of Constructing an Expert System: A Preliminary Study.

Kwok-Wing Lai
1989 English Document (ED) 19

This study investigated the educational implications of having a group of 17 first-year New Zealand nursing students develop a medical expert system. Goals of the study were to determine whether, in
the process of developing the expert system, the learners could: (1) acquire a more in-depth understanding of the specific subject domain under study (namely, how to identify alcoholic patients); (2)
develop a more complex set of problem solving strategies; and (3) acquire conditional reasoning skills....

Abstract: This study investigated the educational implications of having a group of 17 first-year New Zealand nursing students develop a medical expert system. Goals of the study were to
determine whether, in the process of developing the expert system, the learners could: (1) acquire a more in-depth understanding of the specific subject domain under study (namely, how to identify
alcoholic patients); (2) develop a more complex set of problem solving strategies; and (3) acquire conditional reasoning skills. An ethnographic case study approach was adopted. The learners
participated as a whole class in six sessions over a period of 10 weeks, for a total of 10 contact hours. In addition to whole class sessions, they met in small groups to interview subject matter
experts. Participants then met as a whole class to share their information and to construct rules for the knowledge base of the expert system. Both quantitative and qualitative measures were used to
describe how the learners could use computers to acquire knowledge and thinking skills in a group learning context where computers were used as tools. Data were collected using the following
instruments: pre- and posttests to measure gains in reasoning abilities; student worksheets to solicit information on the participants' problem solving strategies and knowledge representation;
students' logs; and questionnaires to collect information on students' background, knowledge acquisition, and attitudes towards the expert system as an instructional aid. Due to the preliminary
nature of the study and the short time frame, no claim was made as to the extent of the improvement in problem solving and reasoning skills; however, the results clearly indicated that expert systems
can be used to enhance the development of certain reasoning skills and also to facilitate the acquisition of a deeper understanding of the subject domain under study. (6 references) (GL)

Abstract: School-based clinics (SBCs) are comprehensive primary health care facilities located within or on the grounds of middle, junior, or senior high schools. Varying in size and
organizational structure, SBCs have emerged as an effective model for advancing adolescent health. They have gained attention because of their potential for treating problems such as inadequate
access to health care, unwanted pregnancy, premature parenting, early withdrawal from school, depression and stress, and substance abuse. While school-based health centers will not resolve all these
complex problems, they are greatly needed because of economic factors limiting health care access and age-related factors related to adolescent growth and development, risk-taking behavior and
violence, sexuality, and the psychological transition to adulthood. SBCs are proving successful because they are accessible and comprehensive, facilitate feedback and compliance, have community
suport, deal with early and unprotected sexual activity, and involve parents. In fact, clinic staff work together with parents, school counselors, nurses, administrators, and community health care
workers to solve teens' problems and help families function. This guide documents broad national support for the SBC concept, includes sample resolutions and policy statements, outlines background
information on adolescents' health and the need for SBCs, and lists resources to provide a greater understanding of these clinics. (MLH)

Abstract: As part of Project HAPPIER (Health Awareness Patterns Preventing Illnesses and Encouraging Responsibility), a survey was conducted among teachers and other migrant personnel in
Illinois to assess the current health needs of migrants. The availability of educational materials was also investigated in the survey in order to ensure that a proposed health resources guide would
meet the needs of migrant health and education staffs and migrant parents. Respondents indicated that migrant "wellness" and disease prevention should be a coordinated effort, led by migrant health
projects and migrant education programs. The major barrier to adequate health care was high cost, compounded by the migrant environment and life style and lack of information. Teachers, outreach
workers, and nurses were seen as the most influential in promoting good health practices and also were the major health providers. Dental health, nutrition, fitness, and substance abuse were the most
important instructional areas. Parents' health values and beliefs, their present health knowledge, and an awareness of the barriers to good health habits were essential to the teaching process.
Materials should be designed to be integrated with existing curriculum. Dental health materials were needed most. These results were similar to the results of a national study, also conducted by
Project HAPPIER, using a similar survey form. Appendices contain the 6-page survey form, data tables, and respondents' comments. (JHZ)

Abstract: An alcohol and drug use education program was developed by teachers and administrators in Mora, a small, isolated Hispanic community in northern New Mexico, in cooperation with
the town's public health nurses and a University of New Mexico research team. Pre- and posttests were given to 150 students in grades 7-9 in the Mora Public Schools to assess: behavioral intent for
accompanying drinking drivers and experimenting with pills, knowledge of alcoholic content of beverages, perceived impairment of driving ability from marijuana smoking, frequency of drinking to
excess, and frequency of accompanying drinking drivers. Teachers kept logs of drug/alcohol related incidents. Treatment exercises were given to students after teachers received inservice training in
their use. Health promoting outcomes included favorable changes in behavioral intent for riding with impaired drivers. Interviews with teachers and officials suggested that health behavior variables
such as peer pressure were not sufficiently impacted by treatment exercises. Previous attempts by health educators had failed in this close-knit, culturally isolated town; but, this program was
accepted because the research team observed cultural strictures, was introduced by an accepted individual, and prompted community responsibility for resolving the problem. Appended tables include
pre- and posttest results, sample reporting forms, and teacher reports of substance misuse incidents. (LFL)

Advocating for a Harm-Minimization Approach to Drug Education in Australian Schools

The concept of using a harm-minimization approach to drug education in Australian schools has existed in both national and state government policy documents for over two decades. However, this
approach appears to be ineffectively and inconsistently incorporated within the curriculum. Harm minimization emphasizes strategies that reduce the harms associated with drug use and prevent related
health and social problems....

Abstract: The concept of using a harm-minimization approach to drug education in Australian schools has existed in both national and state government policy documents for over two decades.
However, this approach appears to be ineffectively and inconsistently incorporated within the curriculum. Harm minimization emphasizes strategies that reduce the harms associated with drug use and
prevent related health and social problems. Traditional drug education programs that promote abstinence as the only option may not be realistic and appear to have had limited success. School nurses
in the state of Victoria have a significant role in improving both the understanding and adoption of this approach through advocacy, education, and their understanding of evidence-based practice.

Substance use is a major cause of adolescent morbidity and mortality. By age 14, 70% of adolescents have consumed alcohol and half of 12th graders report having used marijuana. The purpose of this
study was to increase the understanding of parent and adolescent perceptions regarding adolescent use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) to enhance the development of effective prevention
programs....

Abstract: Substance use is a major cause of adolescent morbidity and mortality. By age 14, 70% of adolescents have consumed alcohol and half of 12th graders report having used marijuana.
The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of parent and adolescent perceptions regarding adolescent use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) to enhance the development of
effective prevention programs. Six adolescent focus groups and one parent focus group participated. Results were derived following elicitation of adolescents' and parents' beliefs regarding
adolescent ATOD use and current prevention programs. Findings indicate that current prevention programs are ineffective; ATOD use is normalized by schools, community, and family; positive adult role
models deter use; and programs should involve youth, parents, schools, and community. Focus group discussions can strengthen the development of tailored ATOD prevention programs. School nurses can
foster collaboration between families, schools, and communities to reduce adolescent substance use. (Contains 3 tables.)

dating violence [PDV] and sexual dating violence [SDV]) and selected health risk behaviors among 375 and 372 high school students, in 2005 and 2007, respectively, in southeastern North Carolina. The
findings indicate PDV increased slightly from 2005 (11.6%) to 2007 (12.5%), while SDV remained approximately the same (10.4% in 2005 and 10.3% in 2007). PDV was strongly associated with SDV among
high school students in 2005 and 2007. Significant associations also exist among dating violence and sexual behavior, substance use, violence, psychological health, and unhealthy weight control.
School nurses should be actively involved in promoting healthy lifestyles and healthy choices among high school students through interdisciplinary efforts with parents, teachers, school districts,
and communities. (Contains 3 tables.)

We examine school performance among 83 adolescents at risk for major depression. Negative mood interfered with subjective measures of school performance, including ability to do well in school,
homework completion, concentrate in class, interact with peers, and going to class. No significant relationships were found for mood and objective measures of school performance (school attendance,
English, and Math grades)....

Abstract: We examine school performance among 83 adolescents at risk for major depression. Negative mood interfered with subjective measures of school performance, including ability to do
well in school, homework completion, concentrate in class, interact with peers, and going to class. No significant relationships were found for mood and objective measures of school performance
(school attendance, English, and Math grades). Students with a college-educated parent had stronger performance in objective measures (school attendance and Math grades), whereas males had lower
English grades. In qualitative interviews, adolescents reported that negative thinking led to procrastination, which led to poor school performance, which led to more negative thinking. Adolescents
with depressive symptoms that do not meet the threshold for referral report struggles in school. Understanding the specific challenges faced by adolescents with even low levels of depressive symptoms
can help school nurses, teachers, and parents identify appropriate interventions to help adolescents succeed in school. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.)

Abstract: This article examines the individual components of bipolar disorder in children and the behaviors that can escalate as a result of misdiagnosis and treatment. The brain/behavior
relationship in bipolar disorders can be affected by genetics, developmental failure, or environmental influences, which can cause an onset of dramatic mood swings and dysfunctional behavior. School
is often the site where mental health disorders are observed when comparing behaviors with other children. Assessing the emotional, academic, and health needs of a student with a bipolar disorder is
a critical step in designing effective interventions and school accommodations. Without appropriate medical, psychological, pharmaceutical, and academic interventions, a child is at risk for
uncontrolled mania, depression, substance abuse, or suicide. The school nurse is part of the multidisciplinary team and plays a key role in facilitating case management to potentially reverse this
possible negative trajectory. Successful case management provides children with bipolar disorder the opportunity to reach their academic potential. (Contains 5 tables.)

Abstract: This study seeks to identify factors that influence the perceived complexity of providing nursing care to others (who are dependent on alcohol and tobacco) and the confidence of
undergraduate student nurses to carry out this care. The research project is designed to explore whether there is a difference between the perceived complexities of 57 different nursing tasks and
skills as understood by student nurses and their differing ages, gender and types of first language used. By using a probabilistic measurement approach (Rasch model), the study seeks to assess
whether a scale of performance for learning can be constructed based on the difficulty of nursing care required and the self-rated capacity of the undergraduate nursing students to provide the
nursing care. Outcomes of the study suggest that nursing students do differ significantly both in how they view the complexity of providing nurse care and their capacity to provide that nursing care.
Recommendations are made for informing nursing education programs, in a bid to make nursing care as it relates to others who are substance dependent, more effective. (Contains 2 tables and 9 figures.)

Abstract: Background: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) affect a significant number of children in this country. This article addresses diagnostic issues related to fetal alcohol
syndrome (FAS) and other alcohol-related disabilities, discusses associated features and behaviors of FASD, and introduces interventions to support children with FASD in school settings. Methods: A
comprehensive review of FAS and FASD literature as it relates to school functioning was conducted. Results: Prenatal alcohol exposure can result in a broad range of negative developmental
consequences, including deficits in cognitive and academic functioning, psychological disorders, behavioral problems, and difficulties with independent living. Children with prenatal alcohol exposure
are at risk for a spectrum of difficulties at school. Conclusions: This topic is of considerable relevance to all professionals in a school setting, including teachers, administrators, school
psychologists, special education providers, special service providers, and school nurses who interact with children who may be prenatally exposed to alcohol. Successful interventions will need to
balance the use of environmental modifications, immediate and meaningful positive and negative consequences for behaviors, and opportunities to teach children skills to monitor and modify their
behavior.

The authors aimed to investigate factors associated with smoking cessation among adolescents after tobacco intervention. They examined smokers (n = 127) from one birth cohort (n = 545) in the city of
Kotka in Finland. These smokers were randomized in 3 intervention groups the dentist (n = 44) and the school nurse (n = 42 groups), and a control group (n = 39)....

Abstract: The authors aimed to investigate factors associated with smoking cessation among adolescents after tobacco intervention. They examined smokers (n = 127) from one birth cohort (n =
545) in the city of Kotka in Finland. These smokers were randomized in 3 intervention groups the dentist (n = 44) and the school nurse (n = 42 groups), and a control group (n = 39). After 2 months,
the authors sent a follow-up questionnaire to the initial smokers to find out who had quit. The authors found that those whose best friend was a nonsmoker were more likely to stop smoking (relative
risk RR 7.0 95% Cl 4.6-10.7). Moreover, the nicotine-dependent participants (measured according to the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence) were less likely to stop (RR 0.1 95% Cl 0.08-0.11)
compared to non-nicotine dependent participants. Last, of the diurnal types, the morning types found it easier to quit smoking than the evening types (RR 2.2 95% Cl 1.4-3.6). Thus, the authors
concluded that the best friend's influence, nicotine dependence, and diurnal type could be taken more into account in individual counseling on smoking cessation. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)

Abstract: For more than a century, the US nursing profession has been aware of substance abuse problems among its practitioners and student nurses but has generally dealt with the issue by
taking disciplinary action rather than pursuing nonpunitive options. The latter course would allow more healthcare providers, following successful rehabilitation, to remain in the profession. Since
the early 1980s, the American Nurses Association (ANA), National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), and the International Nurses Society
on Addictions (IntNSA) have actively promoted nonpunitive substance abuse policies, and many states have adopted alternative-to-discipline programs that have achieved good outcomes. At the same time,
very little is known about the success rates of alternative-to-dismissal programs in nursing schools. After reviewing policies for both practicing nurses and those still in training, the authors
recommend that all states adopt nonpunitive policies and that nursing schools develop alternative approaches for students that parallel and expand upon the procedures applied to practicing nurses who
have a chemical dependency.

grades/job evaluations 6.6%, and legal charges 3.6%. Heavy drinking was reported by 28.9%. Practical nursing (PN) students most often reported tobacco use and sedative use, whereas Bachelor of
Science in nursing (BSN) students most often reported marijuana use. Family histories of alcohol-related problems and drug-related problems were reported, respectively, by 48.1% and 19.2% of
respondents; 51.1% reported at least one of these. PN students most often reported such family histories. Nursing educational systems should proactively address student AOD prevention, education, and
assistance. (Contains 4 tables.)

Abstract: School nurses provide an important role in the continuity of health care especially for adolescents who are at high risk for significant health concerns. The purpose of this study
was to assess adolescents' health information needs and identify their preferences for accessing health information. Using an inductive qualitative research design, 11 focus groups were conducted
with a convenience sample of 101 junior high and high school students in suburban northeastern Illinois. The students identified a variety of health concerns and emphasized the need for accessible,
high-quality, and personally relevant information. Most students favored taking an active role in learning about their health. They preferred to directly access information from qualified individuals
within comfortable, trusting, and respectful relationships or to indirectly retrieve information from reliable resources. Finally, students emphasized the need for privacy and a variety of learning
options depending on the specific health topic. (Contains 3 tables.)

baseline scores on assessments that benefited from training: knowledge, confidence, and clinical performance measured via an online standardized patient case and encounter note all improved
post-training. Preliminary results indicate that practicing providers improved on knowledge, attitude, and brief intervention skill performance after a similar training. Results suggest that SBIRT
skills can be improved with this model for case-based interactive training programs, and thus, that this training has the potential to impact patient outcomes. (Contains 3 tables.)

victimization among middle school and high school students ("N" = 54,361). The PRIDE national survey for Grades 6-12 was administered to youth in their classrooms. Results indicated that 38.3% of
students were involved in school violent victimization. School violent victimization differed significantly based on sex, race, and grade level. Logistic regression analyses indicated that school
violent victimization was directly related to elevated alcohol use in the past 12 months and episodic heavy drinking among youth. Findings from this study may be beneficial to school nurses in
creating bullying and substance abuse prevention programs for students. Recommendations for future research are included.

Pennsylvania's response to adolescent suicide is its Student Assistance Program (SAP). SAP has been funded for 27 years although no statewide outcome studies using case-level data have been
conducted. This study used logistic regression to examine drug-/alcohol-related behaviors and suspensions of suicidal students who participated in SAP. Of the 46 services, 10 best predicted (p <
0.01) that these undesirable outcomes would cease....

Abstract: Pennsylvania's response to adolescent suicide is its Student Assistance Program (SAP). SAP has been funded for 27 years although no statewide outcome studies using case-level
data have been conducted. This study used logistic regression to examine drug-/alcohol-related behaviors and suspensions of suicidal students who participated in SAP. Of the 46 services, 10 best
predicted (p < 0.01) that these undesirable outcomes would cease. Although no study subjects died by suicide, 42 of 374,626 referred students did die by suicide. Suicidal students who did not
participate had double the rate of suicide of suicidal participants of SAP. Students referred for other reasons also killed themselves. Further work must be done to assess all referred students for
suicide risk, examine educational outcomes, monitor substance-related crimes and overdoses, and examine school-related factors postmortem. Evidence from this study can be used by researchers to plan
future studies and by Pennsylvania's school nurses when planning services.

School nurses are well positioned to address risk-taking behaviors for adolescents in their care. The purpose of this mixed-method exploratory study was to explore risk taking in Afro-Caribbean
adolescents in South Florida, comparing first- to second-generation adolescents. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from an immigrant group using the adolescent risk-taking instrument
to evaluate risk-taking attitudes, behaviors, and self-described riskiest activities....

Abstract: School nurses are well positioned to address risk-taking behaviors for adolescents in their care. The purpose of this mixed-method exploratory study was to explore risk taking in
Afro-Caribbean adolescents in South Florida, comparing first- to second-generation adolescents. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from an immigrant group using the adolescent
risk-taking instrument to evaluate risk-taking attitudes, behaviors, and self-described riskiest activities. One-hundred and six adolescents participated; 44% were first generation Afro-Caribbean.
Data analysis included analysis of variance, frequencies, and content analysis. There were no differences in risk-taking attitudes; smaller percentages of first generation Afro-Caribbean adolescents
reported sexual activity, substance use, and violence. Over one third of the sample, regardless of generational status, reported alcohol use, but did not note alcohol or other health-compromising
behaviors as "riskiest" activities. It is important to better understand Afro-Caribbean adolescents' perspectives about risky behaviors, and school-based venues offer the best promise for
reaching these adolescents.

The problem use of alcohol causes over 100,000 deaths in the United States per year and has substantial negative impact on family structure, the economy and the criminal justice system. Screening and
early treatment of individuals with problem use of alcohol by health professionals can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity. Students from all health and human service disciplines should have
basic clinical training on the integration of substance use screening and assessment questions into routine encounters with patients/clients....

Abstract: The problem use of alcohol causes over 100,000 deaths in the United States per year and has substantial negative impact on family structure, the economy and the criminal justice
system. Screening and early treatment of individuals with problem use of alcohol by health professionals can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity. Students from all health and human service
disciplines should have basic clinical training on the integration of substance use screening and assessment questions into routine encounters with patients/clients. The OSCE is a well-researched,
experiential methodology most widely used in medical and nursing education as a tool for evaluating the demonstration of clinical competencies by students. The OSCE is ideally suited to skills-based
educational goals and allows learners to practice and refine their clinical technique. Proponents of performance or skills-based assessment argue that current examination formats focus too heavily on
the student "knowing how" instead of "showing how", and that skills-based assessments like the OSCE do not replace traditional knowledge based tests, but they do provide direct evidence of competence
that knowledge-based tests cannot.

undergraduate college students (UCS) nationally (83%); heavy drinking, tobacco, and recreational drug use by HPS were lower. Past year drug use was highest among medical students. Marijuana was the
predominant illicit drug; medical students and males most often reported use. Health professions educational systems should proactively address student AOD prevention, education, and assistance
needs. (Contains 4 tables.)

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to measure pre and post-test knowledge in response to an educational intervention. This program evaluation was completed on 68 undergraduate nursing
students to determine if education related to substance use, alcohol poisoning and high risk behavior had an impact on knowledge base. The educational intervention was effective in increasing
knowledge base of lower performing students on the pretest. The findings of the program evaluation suggest that alcohol related education can be used to increase knowledge of students nurses who care
for others who use and abuse substances as well as taking care of self. Nineteen multiple choice pre test and post test questions were used to measure knowledge gained after the educational
intervention. As a way to evaluate students behavioral responses to the educational intervention provided, an eight item survey was posed to the students. The survey used a four point Likert Scale.
Pender's Health Promotion Model was used as the theoretical framework. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC. Further reproduction is prohibited

A New Prescription for Fighting Drug Abuse

It's a drug prevention conversation--and program--that was largely missing as recently as a decade ago in most middle and high schools. In those days, the principal concern of health educators and
disciplinarians alike was to keep students from misusing alcohol and illegal street drugs such as ecstasy, cocaine and even heroine. But driven by the proliferation of high-powered prescription
drugs, from the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin to the ADHD remedy Adderall--and sobered by prescription drug abuse statistics for school-age children--educational leaders are answering back

high-powered prescription drugs, from the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin to the ADHD remedy Adderall--and sobered by prescription drug abuse statistics for school-age children--educational
leaders are answering back with a host of new initiatives targeted to that very problem and aimed largely at middle schools, where such drug abuse often begins. Besides the risk of addiction and
overdoses, the widespread and unauthorized use of these drugs is having other far-reaching effects. The 2009 National Risk Behavior Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control showed a strong
correlation between illicit prescription drug use and academic performance in high school. Of those students who had taken such drugs once or more, 26 percent earned mostly Cs, while 41 percent
registered Ds and Fs. Last fall, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) started distributing "Smart Moves, Smart Choices," a comprehensive "school toolkit" designed to prevent prescription
drug abuse and featuring noted authority Drew Pinsky in a series of video segments. The National Education Association's (NEA) Health Information Network is creating an anti-prescription-drug-abuse
curriculum that its framers promise will adhere to the National Health Education Standards and to the Common Core State Standards. The curriculum is scheduled for release at the NEA's national
conference in July. Some school districts, meanwhile, have taken prescription drug education into their own hands--the result of growing abuse in their communities and fatalities in their schools.

Abstract: The health of adolescents and the adults they will become can be linked to the health-related behaviors they adopt as children. To replicate a pilot study with a more culturally
diverse population a descriptive, correlational study was undertaken with 379 seventh grade students. Key findings from this study include (a) students exposed or involved in violence (e.g., fighting
and carrying a weapon) were more likely to report smoking cigarettes, (b) nearly a quarter (24%) of students have smoked cigarettes at some time, and (c) almost half of the students (48%) reported
having at least one alcoholic drink. Middle school can be critical time in the life of an adolescent who may be faced with opportunities to experiment with and participate in health risk behaviors.
School nurses, practitioners, and other health care professionals are in an ideal position to assess the type of and level of participation by an adolescent in a health risk behavior. (Contains 3

Abstract: The purpose of this collective case study was to explore the experiences of three American Indian nurses of the Plateau Tribes in their nursing education. Specifically, the study
sought to gain an understanding that could be used to evaluate and promote culturally congruent strategies for recruitment and retention. Findings indicated that influences for choosing nursing
included family expectations to become educated; wanting to break a cycle that included early pregnancy, dropping out of high school and abuse of alcohol and drugs; and a desire to serve their
communities. Nursing school was stressful due to leaving home, culture shock, and feeling a need to prove oneself. Returning to their communities as a nurse required integrating new learning with
traditions and becoming a role model. Returning to school for advanced nursing education was deemed necessary in order to meet the challenges of their work. Nursing needs to support American
Indian/Alaska Native students by providing pre-college preparation and guidance, by reducing college stress, and by providing appropriate career support and assistance for going to graduate school.

At entry, 185 nursing, 152 medical, 140 pharmacy, and 111 allied health students were surveyed; all but the medical students were resurveyed two years later following educational interventions.
Nursing students displayed more drug use than did pharmacy students, whose curriculum placed more emphasis on drug and alcohol education. (SK)

Abstract: To provide effective education about AIDS and HIV, schools need to deal with issues of sexuality. The question is not whether, but rather, how to include issues related to
homosexuality in school policy, instruction, and student services. This resource booklet has a checklist of factors for school staff to consider at the levels of individual educators, student
services practice, classroom, school, and school district. Studies in the fields of education and the social sciences consistently report higher levels of suicide, homelessness, drug abuse, and
school absenteeism for gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth. A necessary goal of schools is to foster positive self-esteem in all youth. A first step is for each educator to examine for himself or
herself the issues, the benefits of actions that begin to change the school climate, and the consequences of nonaction. Each teacher can work in the classroom to create an inclusive, respectful, and
safe environment. Student services staff, such as school nurses, social workers, and counselors, need to be aware to issues related to sexual orientation, and they need to work with individuals and
groups to support all students. School administrators need to work for an accepting and safe school environment, and they need to work to ensure that the policies of the entire district promote
acceptance and support. Ten appendixes provide more detailed information related to specific issues, a checklist for assessing homophobia and heterosexism in the school, a list of 32 resources for
further information, and a list of organizations to contact for assistance. (SLD)

or other drugs. For this program, 474 school personnel participated in 26 different training workshops over a 22-month period. The evaluation focused on measuring knowledge and skills gained by
school personnel during the course of the workshops, as well as the application of these skills in school settings. Overall, a 40% increase was found for knowledge and skills gained, based on surveys
administered in the training workshops. Most of those responding to the follow-up surveys indicated that they had modified existing programs in their schools based on what they had learned.
Additionally, participants shared their knowledge with colleagues and also indicated that contacts with students and families had been more worthwhile. (RJM)

Abstract: This study explored the meaning of motherhood among Navajo teenagers, their mothers, and community informants living in a small, rural town on a Navajo Reservation. Participating
were 8 Navajo teenage mothers ranging from 16 to 19 years, 7 grandmothers (mothers of the teens) who ranged from 41 to 57 years, and 6 community informants: two teachers, a nurse, a substance abuse
counselor, a Delegate to the Navajo Nation, and a Navajo healer. Three of these informants were white, non-Native Americans who had extensive experience working with Native Americans, and three were
Navajos who had been raised in the community. Intensive semi-structured interviews of participants were conducted in English, tape recorded, and transcribed. Results revealed marked diversity among
the teenagers in the extent of identification with adolescence and maternity. Four groups of teenage mothers were identified: (1) those with high commitment to both roles; (2) those with high
commitment to adolescent, with little commitment to maternity; (3) those with single, focused commitment to motherhood; and (4) those lacking commitment to either role. Grandmother reports confirmed
the categorization of each teen. Reports from teens, grandmothers, and informants agreed that adolescent parenting was no longer condoned in the Navajo society, probably due to increased parenting
occurring outside of marriage and the increased importance of educational attainment. However, most families accepted the unplanned pregnancies and supported their daughters. Navajo culture was
described as being in transition between traditional values and an emerging blending of Navajo and Anglo cultures. (Contains 16 references.) (KB)

Abstract: Quality substance abuse training for 279 educational personnel (school counselors, school nurses, and school psychologists) across the state of Alabama was provided in a series of
two-day training sessions through a federal grant. Although the original grant proposed 7 training sessions, 9 training sessions were ultimately offered over the course of the project, with class
sizes ranging from 9 to 46 participants. Four of the training sessions were held in Birmingham, Alabama. Goals and objectives of the grant are listed, and how each goal was met is described. The
goals were to: (1) improve the quality of drug education materials by developing training materials; (2) increase the number of qualified school-based substance abuse professionals; and (3) increase
the amount of technical assistance available to school counselors, psychologists, and nurses to aid them in establishing prevention/intervention activities at the local level. Participants' project

Qualitative research using the symbolic interactionism framework and grounded theory methodology was employed to discover the perceived health problems and dangers that homeless families with
children endure. Data were collected using semistructured interviews from 34 homeless volunteer participants with 87 children. An in-depth analysis of the data using the constant comparative method
led to recurrent descriptors and patterns, which were synthesized under four themes: external locus of control, deterrents to health, economic barriers, and lack of support....

Abstract: Qualitative research using the symbolic interactionism framework and grounded theory methodology was employed to discover the perceived health problems and dangers that homeless
families with children endure. Data were collected using semistructured interviews from 34 homeless volunteer participants with 87 children. An in-depth analysis of the data using the constant
comparative method led to recurrent descriptors and patterns, which were synthesized under four themes: external locus of control, deterrents to health, economic barriers, and lack of support. The
findings indicate that there is an urgent need for preventive approaches to alleviate homelessness and its attendant health problems. Recommendations consistent with current federal, state, and local
strategies and plans for the early identification and prevention of homelessness are presented. School nurses have an important role as advocates, health educators, and coordinators to promote
realistic strategies, programs, and policies in the delivery of services to homeless families.

Conversations with school superintendents, board members, principals, teachers, counselors, and nurses about their students' social and emotional health show how actively they are working to help
students confront difficult issues. Topping the list of issues are drug and alcohol use and abuse, depression, and violence among students. Equally important to school directors, administrators, and

Abstract: Conversations with school superintendents, board members, principals, teachers, counselors, and nurses about their students' social and emotional health show how actively they are
working to help students confront difficult issues. Topping the list of issues are drug and alcohol use and abuse, depression, and violence among students. Equally important to school directors,
administrators, and staff is developing competent young people who are socially and emotionally healthy and can build positive relationships and resolve conflicts peacefully. One resource and support
for schools, students, and their families are Student Assistance Programs (SAPs), found in schools and communities across the nation. SAPs link students to the behavioral health care system.
Proponents who argue for behavioral health education, programs, and services in schools focus on the gap between child and adolescent behavioral health needs, and children's utilization of these
services. Although reported statistics vary, it is generally agreed that as many as 80 percent of youth in need of behavioral health services may not receive them (U.S. Surgeon General 2001; Ringel
and Sturm 2001). SAPs address this chasm between students and the behavioral health care system by making connections critical to linking students with the resources they need, as well as developing
new resources to meet unfilled needs. In this article, the authors discuss the four-phase SAP process, student outcomes, and benefits of SAPs for teachers, nurses, principals, counselors, and other
frontline staff who spend their days in schools and communities working with youth. The article then focuses on four lessons learned from Student Assistance Programs that are instructional to schools
and communities in addressing students' social, emotional, and mental health. (Contains 2 figures and 5 resources.)

Abstract: Purpose: Effective pain management remains a serious problem in the nursing home setting. Barriers to achieving optimal pain practices include staff knowledge deficits, biases,
and attitudes that influence assessment and management of the residents' pain. Design and Methods: Twelve nursing homes participated in this intervention study: six treatment homes and six control
homes, divided evenly between urban and rural locations. Three hundred licensed and unlicensed nursing home staff members completed written knowledge and attitude surveys at baseline, and 378 staff
members completed the surveys after intervention implementation. Results: Baseline results revealed notable knowledge deficits in the areas of pharmacology, drug addiction and dependence, side effect
management, and nonpharmacologic management-strategy effectiveness. Significant differences were noted by job title (registered nurse/licensed practical nurse/certified nursing assistant). Case
studies displayed a knowledge application problem, with nurses often filtering resident pain reports through observed resident behaviors. The intervention led to significant improvement in knowledge
scores in some, but not all, the treatment homes. Perceived barriers to effective pain management showed a significant decline across all study nursing homes. Implications: Knowledge deficits related
to pain management persist in nursing homes. An interactive multifaceted educational program was only partially successful in improving knowledge across settings and job categories. Attitudes and
beliefs appear more difficult to change, whereas environmental and contextual factors appeared to be reducing perceived barriers to effective pain management across all participating nursing homes.

This article describes some of the special health and safety concerns that many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning youth face in schools. Among these problems are increased drug and alcohol use,
sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy risks, depression and suicidality, and increased likelihood of being a victim of harassment or assault. School nurses can play a unique role in the lives
of these students....

drug and alcohol use, sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy risks, depression and suicidality, and increased likelihood of being a victim of harassment or assault. School nurses can play a
unique role in the lives of these students. A needs assessment is reviewed that describes school nurses' perceived professional responsibility and their actual practice with regard to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and questioning youth. Five barriers to optimal health care for these students are discussed. Methods that encourage students to view the school nurse as an ally, as well as issues
surrounding disclosure or "coming out," are discussed. Special considerations of confidentiality, community agency referral, and family disclosure are discussed. Appropriate interventions at school
and ways to begin to change the school climate are also presented. (Contains 2 tables and 3 figures.)

This article addresses practice issues related to school health records and school nursing documentation. Because the issues have been posed by practicing school nurses, the article is in Question
and Answer (Q&A) format. Specifically, the questions addressed concern the following: ownership and storage location of student health records when the school nurse is contracted from a community
health agency rather than employed by the school district; documentation of sensitive health information on students' health records including pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness,
history of suicide attempt, and HIV status; inclusion of medical diagnoses and current medications on a student's Individual Educational Program (IEP); and Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA)-permitted communications "between" school nurses and health care providers related to students' immunization status, "regarding" a student's treatment needs in school, and

Abstract: This paper suggests that in order to facilitate the management of substance abuse problems, schools of nursing should adopt written, comprehensive, and equitable substance abuse
policies for students, faculty, and staff. Such policies should be based on the assumption that substance abuse is an illness that can be treated successfully and the philosophy that schools of
nursing are committed to assisting their students and employees with recovery. The policy should incorporate prevention and education, identification of individuals with possible substance abuse
problems, evaluation and referral for treatment, and re-entry programs on successful completion of treatment. The policy must comply with federal, state, and local laws. Although the same policy
should apply to all, some variations may be necessary to address labor and professional requirements. (SLD)
