The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...
Protecting Self-Esteem01:27

Protecting Self-Esteem

Self-esteem, a central component of psychological well-being, is actively maintained through various cognitive and behavioral strategies. Individuals employ specific mechanisms to preserve a positive self-concept and mitigate threats to their self-worth, particularly in contexts involving social evaluation or personal feedback. Four primary techniques are commonly used to sustain self-esteem.Manipulating AppraisalsOne prominent strategy involves manipulating appraisals from others. Individuals...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Trained nonmedical school personnel can safely assist students with type 1 diabetes management, including insulin administration and hypoglycemia treatment. This ensures a safer school day and potentially better glucose control for diabetic children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • School Health
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Virginia legislation in 1999 mandated nonmedical school personnel to assist students with type 1 diabetes when nurses are unavailable.
  • This policy aimed to ensure continuous diabetes care for students during school hours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify school personnel assisting type 1 diabetic students with insulin and hypoglycemia management in Virginia.
  • To evaluate the safety of diabetes care provided by school personnel.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous survey of parents of children with type 1 diabetes attending Virginia public schools.
  • Parents reported on school personnel involved in diabetes care and specific tasks performed.
  • Inquiries were made regarding hypoglycemia occurrence, treatment, and adverse effects.

Main Results:

  • 185 parents from 153 schools responded; 69% had full-time school nurses.
  • Nonmedical staff (teachers, administrators, coaches, cafeteria workers) assisted with diabetes management tasks.
  • 75% of students experienced hypoglycemia (median 5 episodes/year); only one severe event requiring glucagon, administered safely by a nurse.

Conclusions:

  • Trained medical and nonmedical school personnel can provide safe diabetes care.
  • The study suggests a potential for severe hypoglycemia in up to 3% of students annually.
  • Legislation allowing nonmedical staff to assist improves school day safety and glucose control for diabetic students.
