The purpose of this paper is to investigate effects of mothers’ participation in intra-household decision making on the nutritional status of their children. The paper relied solely on analysis of data for Northern Region of Ghana, collected as part of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Feed the Future population baseline survey conducted in 2012. Multiple Linear Regression Model was used in examining mothers’ participation in intra-household decision making on children’s weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height which were used as proxies for children’s nutritional status. Results of the analysis revealed that, the Region is still far from achieving the MDG 1 target of attaining 1.8% malnutrition prevalence rate, as stunting, underweight and wasting prevalence rates among children in the region were found to be 27%, 25% and 13% respectively. The analysis also found mothers’ participation in intra-household decision making, ownership and control of household resources as significant in influencing positively children’s nutritional status. Increasing participation and power of women in intra-household decision making process are imperative in improving children nutritional status and reducing malnutrition prevalence among children under five years. It is therefore recommended that programmes and projects aimed at promoting sustainable nutritional wellbeing among children should consider empowering mothers of children so as to promote their status and barging power in intra-household decision making process.

The School Success Program: Improving
Maltreated Children's Academic and
School-related Outcomes
Christopher A. Mallett
Many victims of chudhood maltreatment expedence difficulties in school and with aca-
demic performance. This article reviews the evidence on the connection between child-
hood maltreatment and school performance and presents an evaluation of a unique
program established by Children's Services in Lorain County, Ohio. Since 2001, the
School Success Program, in collaboration with 18 Ohio public school distdcts, has pro-
vided individual tutodng and mentodng by certified teachers to 615 maltreated children
and youths, working closely with the whole family in an in-home setting. Most children
and youths in the program have progressed to their appropdate grade level whue improv-
ing overall grade point averages from 1.74 to 2.56 in core academic subjects. Program par-
ticipants have shown one-year improvements that are significant when compared with
those of their nonmaltreated peers: Basic reading and comprehension skills improved 58
percent; math reasoning and comprehension skills improved 50 percent; basic wddng
skills improved 48 percent; and overall academic skills improved 51 percent. These
improvements were seen across both gender and race, with almost equal gains made by
minodty and nonminodty children and youths, but particularly by boys. Implications for
school social work practice are set forth in light of these promising results.
KEY WORDS; children; maltreatment; mentor; school; tutor
A
cademic success is vital for children and
youths to transition without difficulty to
adolescence and young adulthood
(Buehler, Orme, Post, & Pattenon, 2000). This
transition is markedly more difficult for many
children w h o have been vicdms of maltreatment.
Abuse and neglect may affect children's abüities to
learn, decrease cognitive and language capacities
(SmithgaU, Gladden, Howard, Goerge, &
Courtney, 2004), increase dsk for special educa-
tion disabüities, decrease standardized tesdng out-
comes (Egeland, 1997), and decrease overall
academic performance (Leiter, 2007). It is import-
ant to develop interventions and programs tar-
geted specifically to this population that has
expedenced abuse, neglect, or both to provide
these children and youths the opportunity to
achieve school-related success. These interventive
efforts may have long-lasting and important future
impacts (Veltman &L Browne, 2001).
This investigation provides descdptive and lon-
gitudinal findings for a program initiated in 2001
in one Ohio county's children's services agency
that is trying to address and improve the academic
and school-related outcomes for maltreated children
and youths. Finding evidence of what may work
to address this child welfare, school social work,
and public educadon situadon is important not
only because academic difficuldes are a common
problem for maltreatment victims, but also because
few programs have been designed specifically.

Starting School at a
Disadvantage:
The School Readiness of Poor Children

Executive Summary
Poor children in the United States start school at a disadvantage in
terms of their early skills, behaviors, and health. Fewer than half (48
percent) of poor children are ready for school at age five, compared to 75
percent of children from families with moderate and high income, a 27
percentage point gap. This paper examines the reasons why poor
children are less ready for school and evaluates three interventions for
improving their school readiness.
Poverty is one of several risk factors facing poor children. Mothers
living in poverty are often unmarried and poorly educated, they have
higher rates of depression and poor health than more affluent mothers,
and they demonstrate lower parenting skills in certain dimensions. In fact,
the gap in school readiness shrinks from 27 percentage points to 7
percentage points after adjusting for demographic, health, and behavioral
differences between poor and moderate- and higher-income families.
Even so, poverty remains an important influence on school readiness,
partly through its influence on many of the observed differences between
poor and more affluent families. Higher levels of depression and a more
punitive parenting style, for example, may result from economic stress
and so models controlling for these factors may understate the full
effects of poverty on school readiness.
In addition to poverty, key influences on school readiness include
preschool attendance, parenting behaviors, parents’ education, maternal
depression, prenatal exposure to tobacco, and low birth weight. For
example, the likelihood of being school ready is 9 percentage points
higher for children attending preschool, controlling for other family
characteristics, and is 10 percentage points lower for children whose
mothers smoke during pregnancy and also 10 percentage points lower for
children whose mothers score low in supportiveness during parent-child
interactions. These findings suggest a diverse set of policy interventions
that might improve children’s school readiness, ranging from smoking
cessation programs for pregnant women to parenting programs,
treatments for maternal depression, income support programs and
expansion of preschool programs.
Preschool programs offer the most promise for increasing children’s
school readiness, according to a simple simulation that models the
effects of three different interventions. Expanding preschool programs
for four-year olds has more direct eff ...

Abstract
Children with type 1 diabetes are at risk for negative psychosocial and physiological outcomes,
particularly as they enter adolescence. The purpose of this randomized trial (n=82) was to
determine the effects, mediators, and moderators of a coping skills training intervention (n=53) for
school-aged children compared to general diabetes education (n=29). Both groups improved over
time, reporting lower impact of diabetes, better coping with diabetes, better diabetes self-efficacy,
fewer depressive symptoms, and less parental control. Treatment modality (pump vs. injections)
moderated intervention efficacy on select outcomes. Findings suggest that group-based
interventions may be beneficial for this age group.

seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and adults with T1D are twice as likely
to die prematurely from complications compared to adults without T1D National Institute of

requiring frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels, monitoring and controlling
carbohydrate intake, daily insulin treatment (3-4 injections/day or infusion from a pump),
and adjusting insulin dose to match diet and activity patterns (American Diabetes

The main purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of regular home visits on the developmental indices of low birth weight infants. The present study was an on-site clinical investigation. 90 infants ranging between 1500 to 2500g born in Razi Hospital of Marand town having the entrance criteria to the present study were taken into consideration through the available sampling method and then they were divided into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group has received the whole routine cares since the first to fourth week and then they were visited at home for 45 minutes a week. The control group received the routine cares. The evolutionary indices of both groups were also completed monthly for three months by referring homes. The related data gathering tool was also subjected to the demographic information through registration list and the Persian version of the Low Weight Infant Inventory (LWII) (2 months) that have been completed by the researcher on the birthday, first, second and third months of the birth through the interview. SPSS-15 software and the application of the inferential and descriptive statistical tests (K2 and T-tests) were also applied in order to analyze the related data in this study. The significance level was considered as p<0.05.
More than half of these related research units of both groups had experience (61.5%) and control (55.8%) regarding all women in this study; the mean score of the low weight infants on the first month had not shown any statistical significant difference; but on the second months (p=0.04) and the third months (p=0.001), they had shown statistical significant difference progressively. The healthcare based on home-visit had influence on the recovery indices of the low weight infants. Hence, nurses and other health monitors of the infants should apply for the healthcare programs based on home-visit particularly in caring infants.

Abstract
Literature provides evidence that school attendance correlates with academic performance and student success. Influenza is a
contributing factor to school absences. Primary prevention for influenza includes immunization. School-located influenza
vaccine (SLIV) programs provide greater access for students to be immunized. A retrospective review of preexisting data from
four academic years was conducted to examine the relationship between SLIV participation and absenteeism among students
at eight public elementary schools in Effingham County, Georgia. Results identified differences in average frequency of
absences between SLIV and non-SLIV years as well as between SLIV participants and nonparticipants for the 2 SLIV years.
Implications for practice include the potential for increased herd immunity among students, which may also extend to other
parties within the school community and at home, thus promoting overall wellness and future student success.

Introduction
Scientific literature indicates school absenteeism correlates
with lower standardized test scores and dropout rates
(Balfanz & Byrnes, 2012). Missing even a few days of
school, regardless of cause, can impact student academic
performance, shape attitudes about school, and affect school
dropout rates (Chang & Romero, 2008; U.S. Department of
Education, 2009). McGiboney (2012) examined attendance
data among Georgia elementary school students, noting a
significant relationship between number of days in school
(defined as ‘‘seat time’’), success in school, and ultimately,
probability of high school graduation.
One cause of school absenteeism is influenza. The effects
of influenza are widespread. The virus possesses the capabil-
ity to infect large number of people rapidly, impacting 10%–
20% of the U.S. population every year (Weycker et al.,
2005). Those who become infected develop symptoms that
can last several days, leading to bed rest, school/work loss,
and increased physician visits. Mortality rates due to influ-
enza infection have been estimated to exceed 36,000 each
year, and the annual economic impact of influenza in the
United States has been estimated between $11 and $18
billion dollars (Davis, King, Moag, Cummings, & Magder,
2008). Infection rates among children are the highest among
any age group during a typical influenza season, averaging
25%–43% (Weycker et al., 2005). When children are sick
with the flu, they miss school, and as indicated earlier, this
can have a negative impact on their overall academic
success.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
1. The case for school nursing:
The need: There are significantly more children in special education and more children in school with
medically fragile conditions and chronic illnesses.
- The percent of students in federally supported special education program increased from 8.3% to
13.4%, from 1977 – 2008, a 62% increase (NCES, 2011a).
- From 2002 to 2008, the percentage of children in special education with health impairments due
to chronic or acute health problems increased 60% (NCES, 2011a).
- Two staff categories increased more than 100 percent between 1980 and 2007—instructional
aides rose 120 percent and instructional coordinators rose 244 percent. (NCES, 2011b).
- Within this group, the rates of children with autism doubled since 2002 (NCES, 2011a).
- Preterm survival has increased to more than 80%of infants born at 26 weeks, and more than 90%
of infants born after 27 weeks’ gestation. As rate of NICU survival rises, so do the numbers of
children who enter school with moderate – severe disabilities and learning and behavior problems
(Allen, Cristofalo, Kim, 2011; Roberts, Lim, Doyle, & Anderson, 2011).
- The medical complexity of hospitalized pediatric patients has increased significantly over the past
15 years (Burns, Casey, Lyle, Bird, Fussel, Robbins, 2010). In 2006, 7812 children were
discharged from hospitals dependent on long term mechanical ventilation, a 55% increase from
2000, yet there are no data for the number of children who depend on ventilators in school
(Benneyworth, Gebremariam, Clark, Shanley & Davis 2011; Bergren 2011),
- Each year, as these survivors enter early intervention services and Kindergarten, the need for
school health services increases. Medically fragile children in school require ventilators, tube
feedings, medication, and other complex nursing cares (Allen, Cristofalo, Kim, 2011).
- Problems persist through adolescence. Preterm groups who had neurological problems and were
small for gestational age had the lowest academic competence scores as teens. School services
needed increase with the number of health problems associated with prematurity. Continued
monitoring of preterm infants through adolescence is needed to ensure appropriate school
services (Barde, Yeatman, Lee, Glover, & Feldman, 2012; Winchester, Sullivan, Marks, Doyle,
DePalma, & McGrath, 2009).
- From 2002–2005, 15,600 youth new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes were made each year in
children and teens under age 20. During that same time period, each year 3,600 children had a
new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. About 215,000 people younger than 20 years have either type
1 or type 2 diabetes (CDC, 2011). Among the US adolescents aged 12 to 19 years old the
prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes increased from 9% to 23% between 1999 and 2008
(May, Kuklina & Yoon, 2012).
- Eight percent of all children have a food allergy, with almost 40% having a history of a severe
reaction (Gupta, et al., 2011). The prevalence of food allergy among children under the age of 18
NASN, 2012
2. increased 18% percent from 1997 to 2007 (Branum & Lukacs, 2008). Peanut allergy doubled in
children from 1997-2002 (Sicherer et al, 2003). Fatal food anaphylaxis is most often caused by
peanuts (50-62%) and tree nuts (15-30%) (Keet & Wood, 2007). In a survey of school
epinephrine administration, approximately 25% of had no previous food allergy diagnosis.
(McIntyre, Sheetz, Carroll, & Young, 2005).
- Seven million children have asthma, 9.4% of all children (Bloom, Cohen & ,Freeman, 2011). Poor
or African American students with asthma in schools with full-time nurses missed significantly
fewer days than students with asthma with part-time nurses (Telljohann, Dake, & Price, 2004).
- More than 326,000 school children through age 15 have epilepsy, and 30% of those children
cannot be adequately treated. Co-morbidities include cerebral palsy (13%), mental retardation
(26%) and autism (25%). (Epilepsy Foundation, 2010).
- Overall, from 13 to 18 percent of children and adolescents have some sort of chronic health
condition, nearly half of whom could be considered disabled (Cohen et al., 2011; Perrin, Bloom &
Gortmaker, 2007; Van Cleave Gortmaker & Perrin 2010)
- Eighteen percent of 12–17 year olds and 14% of children age 5–11 are on regular medication
(Bloom, Cohen & ,Freeman, 2011). An estimated 4–6% of all school-age children receive
medication in school on a typical day (Ficca & Welk, 2006; McCarthy, Kelly, & Reed, 2000). The
range of medications administered at school increased significantly from 2000-2003 (McCarthy,
Kelly, Johnson, Roman, & Zimmerman, 2006; Clay et al. 2008). Unlicensed personnel in school
make more medication errors than nurses (Canham et al., 2007; Farris, McCarthy, Kelly, Clay &
Gross, 2003; McCarthy, Kelly, & Reed, 2000). Medication errors include incorrect dose, missed
doses, expired medication, and inconsistent recording (Canham et al., 2007).
School nurses influence attendance, which influences achievement and graduation rates:
- Six percent of children missed 11 or more days of school in the past 12 months due to illness or
injury (Bloom, Cohen & ,Freeman, 2011). Repeated studies identified that school nurses reduce
absenteeism (Maughan, 2003.) and a higher nurse to student ratio is related to better attendance
(Pennington & Delaney, 2008).
- School absence affects performance and contributes to school drop-out and has economic and
social repercussions for individuals, families, and communities (Pennington & Delaney, 2008).
Attendance predicts dropout and achievement (Chan, 2002; Epstein & Sheldon, 2002; Klem &
Connell, 2004).
- School nurses are significantly less likely to dismiss a student from school early than non-
licensed personnel (Pennington & Delaney, 2008; Wyman, 2005).
- In one community, hiring nurses increased attendance, decreased dropout, and increased
achievement (Bobo, 2001; Cooper, 2005)
School nurses are an essential arm of public health promoting wellness and preventing injury
- Registered nurses in schools are correlated with increasing immunization rates (Ferson,
Fitzsimmons, Christie, & Woollett, 1995; Salmon et al., 2005)
- Salmon et al. (2005) found parents were significantly less likely to request an exemption from
immunizations from school nurses than school personnel without health care training. Unlicensed
school personnel are unaware of the seriousness of vaccine-preventable diseases, and the
susceptibility of unimmunized children (Salmon et al., 2004).
NASN, 2012
3. The intensity of school health services is lower in schools with other disparities. Poor health and poverty
combine to predict low achievement.
- There is a relationship among social-environmental factors (e.g. poverty), education, and health
(Basch, 2010). In urban schools, poverty strongly predicts the utilization of school nursing
services (Fleming, 2011).
- One study of 18 school districts found the intensity of policies and programs in school health
services was significantly related to graduation rate (Cook, 2006).
- School health programs and services are inequitably distributed as are other school resources—
that is, fewer and lower quality resources are available in schools serving low-income minority
youth (Basch, 2010). A 2007 NASN study found schools with full time RNs were more likely than
schools with PT RNs or no nurses to have other health care services and providers.
School nurses are crucial to children’s mental health.
The top 5 health problems of children in the United States are now mental health problems not
physical problems (Slomski, 2012). Approximately one in five children and adolescents has a
diagnosable mental health disorder in the course of a year. Five percent have impairment in
functioning that is extreme (U.S.DHHS, 2000).
Twenty percent (20%) of students may have undiagnosed mental health problems that cause
difficulty with academic work (Puskar & Bernardo, 2007).
School nurses spend 32% of their time providing mental health services (Foster et al., 2005).
Through case management of chronic illness, school nurses play a pivotal role in the health and well-
being of children and contribute to improved health and education outcomes.
- School nurses case management of asthma resulted in significantly more students with needed
medication at school (Taras, Wright, Brennan, Campana & Lofgren, 2004) and fewer
exacerbations resulting in visits to the school nurse office (Erickson, Splett, Mullett, Jensen,
Belseth, 2006; Splett, Erickson, Belseth, & Jensen, 2006).
- School nurses caring for children with diabetes is related to better monitor blood glucose levels
and lower A1c and better at detecting low blood glucose (Nguyen, Mason, Sanders, Yazdani, &
Heptulla, 2008). School nurses positively affect academic success and well-being of students with
diabetes (Lightfoot & Bines, 2000) In teens, school nurse case management improves quality of
life, particularly the ability to communicate with health professionals (Engleke et al., 2011)
- Lower school nurse case loads, training and support result in school nurses providing more case
management services for students (Guttu, Engelke & Swanson, 2004; Kruger et al., 2009; Taras,
Wright, Brennan, Campana & Lofgren, 2004; Perry & Toole, 2000).
School nursing services allow faculty and school leaders to teach and lead.
- Teachers and staff consider nurse interventions vital to eliminating barriers to student learning
and improving health (Baish, Lundeen, & Murphy, 2011).
- A nurse in the school may provide a principal with nearly an hour each day allocated to their role
as instructional leader. Other staff spend less time diverted from their primary job responsibilities
to address student health issues (Baish, Lundeen, & Murphy, 2011; Hill & Hollis, 2011).
