The purpose of this study was to explore the personal life stories of women who became mothers while still in their teen years. The focus was on themes that evolved as important in the lives of these women, including family support, partner support, mentor support, economic opportunity, resiliency, optimism, and spirituality. Each of the 22 women in the study offered her formulas for success that are useful for consideration by school nurses. Factors the women perceived to contribute to their success in achieving a master’s or doctoral degree are explored. This study helps to identify the support and community efforts necessary to improve the outcome for teen mothers today. Their unique stories are exemplars of resiliency and achievement.

Individualized Educational Program

In 2019, 10 to 20 million school-aged youth were identified as having a chronic health condition or disability. However, little is known about U.S. school district policies on school nurses’ participation in Individualized Educational Program (IEP) and Section 504 teams to support these youth. Using nationally representative district-level data from the 2016 School Health Policies and Practices Study, we examined whether U.S. school districts have policies on school nurse participation in IEP and 504 development. In addition, we examined the relationship between having such policies and policies on (a) creating and maintaining school teams to assist students with disabilities and (b) the participation of other essential school staff in IEP and 504 development. Among districts with policies regarding school nurse participation in IEP development versus those that did not, a significantly greater proportion had policies on student support teams and counselors’ participation on IEP teams (79.2% vs. 44.4%, p <  .001, and 98.7% vs. 56.2%, p <  .001, respectively). In addition, among districts with policies on school nurse participation in 504 development versus those that did not, a significantly greater proportion also had policies on support teams and counselors’ participation on 504 teams (77.5% vs. 43.1%, p <  .001, and 97.2% vs. 50.7%, p <  .001, respectively). We also examine regional and locale differences in these policies. Findings encourage discussion on student support teams’ role in school districts for students with chronic health conditions and disabilities, how school nurses can be essential team members, and better coordination of student care to promote children who are engaged, healthy, and supported within the school community.

Family support has evolved from a buzzword of the 1990s to a concept founded in theory, mandated by federal law, valued across disciplines, and espoused by both parents and professionals. This emphasis on family-centered practices for families of young children with disabilities, coupled with federal policy initiatives and technological advances, served as the impetus for the development of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs (Nicholson & Martin, in press). White, Forsman, Eichwald, and Muñoz (2010) provide an excellent review of the evolution of EHDI systems, which include family support as one of their 9 components. The National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM), the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and the Center for Disease Control Centers cosponsored the first National EHDI Conference. This conference brought stakeholders including parents, practitioners, and researchers from diverse backgrounds together to form a learning collaborative (Forsman, 2002). Attendees represented a variety of state, national, and/or federal agencies and organizations. This forum focused effort on the development of EHDI programs infused with translating research into practices and policy. When NCHAM, recognizing the critical role of family support in the improvement of outcomes for both children and families, created a think tank to investigate the concept of a conference centered on support for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing in 2005, the “Investing in Family Support” (IFSC) conference was born. This conference was specifically designed to facilitate and enhance EHDI efforts within the family support arena. From this venue, a model of family support was conceptualized and has served as the cornerstone of the IFSC annual conference since 2006. Designed to be a functional framework, the IFSC model delineates where and how families find support. In this article, we will promote and encourage continued efforts towards defining operational measures and program components to ultimately quantify success as it relates to improved outcomes for these children and their families. The authors view this opportunity to revisit the theoretical underpinnings of family support, the emerging research in this area, and the basics of the IFSC Model of Family Support as a call to action. We challenge professionals who work with children identified as deaf or hard of hearing to move family support from conceptualization to practices that are grounded in evidence and ever mindful of the unique and dynamic nature of individual families.

School Health Nurses

Seit vielen Jahrzehnten sind vor allem in angloamerikanischen und skandinavischen Ländern spezialisierte Pflegekräfte in Schulen tätig, die als sogenannte «School (Health) Nurses» die Kinder und Jugendlichen in allen gesundheitlichen Angelegenheiten betreuen. Diese Übersichtsarbeit widmet sich der Frage, welche konkreten Aufgaben und Rollen School Nurses im internationalen Kontext übernehmen und welche davon auch in Deutschland von entsprechend qualifizierten Pflegefachkräften ausgeführt werden könnten. Mithilfe einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden 34 Publikationen gefunden, die allgemeine Rollen- und Aufgabenbeschreibungen von School Nurses fokussieren. Insgesamt ließen sich elf zentrale Aufgabenbereiche identifizieren. Diese umfassen unter anderem die direkte pflegerische Versorgung bei Verletzungen, Notfällen, akuten oder chronischen Erkrankungen, präventive und gesundheitsförderliche Tätigkeiten, Information, Schulung und Beratung, die Erhebung gesundheitsbezogener Probleme und Bedarfe sowie die Entwicklung und Durchführung entsprechender Angebote und die Bereiche Kommunikation, Kooperation und Vermittlung. Mit Blick auf die positiven internationalen Erfahrungen erscheint die Einführung von School Nurses in Deutschland als vielversprechender Ansatz zur Förderung von Gesundheits- und Unterstützung von Bildungszielen. Das dazu benötigte Kompetenzprofil erfordert eine Zusatzqualifikation «Schulgesundheitspflege», die - basierend auf vorhandenen internationalen Curricula - auf Hochschulniveau angesiedelt sein sollte.

Hiv Epidemic

The high mortality rate among drug users, which is partly due to the HIV epidemic and partly due to drug-related accidental deaths and suicides, presents a major public health problem. Knowing more about prevalence, incidence, and risk factors is important for the development of rational preventive and therapeutic programs. This article attempts to give an overview of studies of the relations between substance abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide, and drug-related death. Research in this field is hampered by the absence of clear definitions, and results of studies are rarely comparable. There is, however, consensus about suicidal ideation being a risk factor for suicide attempts and suicide. Suicidal ideation is also a predictor of suicide, especially among drug users. It is correlated with an absence of family support, with the severity of the psychosocial dysfunctioning, and with multi-drug abuse, but also with requests for treatment. Every clinical examination of a drug user, not only of those who are depressed, should address the possible presence of suicidal ideation, as well as its intensity and duration.
