Language: English 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.

Author(s): Boggess, Patricia A. ; Reiman, Dean Corp Author(s): Washington State Dept. of Social and Health Services, Olympia. Publication: 1990-00-00 Description: 12 p. Language: English 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.

Publication: 1991-04-25 Description: 107 p. Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

Language: English Standard No: ISBN: ISBN-0-87603-135-1 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.

Language: English 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.)

Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

Areas were explored in which supportive services may be provided to children of alcoholic parents. It was concluded that the school staff who have close, continuous contact would be the best and most accessible caregiving team. This staff includes the teacher, counselor, nurse, and social worker. The following topics are discussed: (1) the nature of the school setting as a caregiving agency; (2) the roles of each school staff member; (3) techniques to identify children of alcoholic parents; and (4) suggested education and training objectives. Recommendations on implementing a school based project are made, with emphasis on the crucial junior high school years. A bibliography is appended.

Language: English 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.

The questionnaire included demographic items, questions regarding the consumption of alcohol, 36 items tapping knowledge of alcohol, and 17 items concerning possible consequences of drinking. The 1982 sample consisted of 291 students at 72 four-year 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.

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.

Language: English 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.

Language: English 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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

Positioned within the community with links to children, families, and healthcare systems, school nurses are a critical element in the prevention and treatment of those affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Although most school nurses are familiar with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and the problems it poses, they may not be familiar with the newer term, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. This article summarizes the most recent information about FASD and recently published guidelines on diagnostic criteria for FAS. Also outlined are primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention activities school nurses can take to help assure that children, families, and communities work to prevent the problem and to treat the children affected by it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Both programs build skills in substance abuse SBIRT. Real-world effectiveness trials involving medical students (n = 10) and nursing students (n = 60) were completed; trials involving primary care providers (n = 65) are in progress during 2011. Medical students and nursing students had similarly low 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Language: English Standard No: ISBN: ISBN-978-1-1242-8189-6 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Language: English 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.

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.

On the video, experts at the University of Nebraska Medical center review neuroscience, prenatal influences and prevention, developmental disabilities, medication and attention disorders, and the team approach to health care. Examples are given of how schools have included children with special health care needs into learning environments. Specific syndromes such as autism, Fragile X syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are featured.

Navajo Adolescent Mothers' Perceptions of the Maternal Role & Implications for Child Developmental Outcomes. Author(s): Dalla, Rochelle L. Publication: 1997-04-00 Description: 17 p. Language: English 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.)

Publication: For full text: http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Publications/positions/subabuse. htm.; 1999-00-00 Description: 9 p. Language: English 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.
