摘要:

ABSTRACTBetter problem identification and improved access to community health care were the result of changes made during the past three years in a traditional urban high school health service. The first change included training the nurse to become a pediatric nurse practitioner and adding a full‐time health aide. The other change included the use of clinic management forms developed by the nurse practitioner/health aide team to be used for three common student complaints: headache, stomachache and upper respiratory symptoms. Our experience indicates that out‐of‐school referrals for medical care doubled, and more students referred received care after these changes were instituted. The high school pediatric nurse practitioner counsels students in understanding their health problems and in making decisions about their health care. She also coordinates educational and health resources and provides psychosocial support for stu

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe major purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the School Health Curriculum Project (SHCP) on fifth grade students in two areas related to health attitudes and behavior. The areas were perceived vulnerability to illnesses and accidents and attitudes towards smoking. A secondary problem was to determine if relationships existed between variables such as sex, ethnicity, income and reading level and the post‐test results for the Treatment Group on the two measures used in this investigation.A quasi‐experimental design was used. The specific design was an adaptation of a Nonequivalent Control Group Design modified by the addition of a Post‐test‐Only Control Group. The sample population participating in the study consisted of 635 students representing 33 intact classrooms from a multicultural urban school district in New Mexico.The data collection instruments used for pre‐ and post‐testing were the Gochman Perceived Vulnerability Instrument (PV) and two subscales of the Teenage Self Test for Cigarette Smoking (ST). The statistics used to analyze the data included descriptive statistics and analysis of variance.Findings revealed that the SHCP fifth grade unit had an effect on students' reported attitudes towards smoking in the direction of the curriculum objectives. The secondary hypotheses findings indicated that significant differences existed among certain groups of students on post‐test scores. There were significant differences between females and males on the Perceived Vulnerability and Smoking Test measures between Spanish‐American and Anglo students on the Perceived Vulnerability and Smoking Test measures, and between students reading below grade level and those reading at or above grade level on the Smoki
