Summary
The KiVa antibullying program in Finland showed varied sustainability among schools. Persistent implementation requires initial support, especially for large schools and those with lower victimization rates.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Public Health
- Program Evaluation
Background:
- The KiVa antibullying program was implemented nationwide in Finland starting in 2009.
- Understanding the long-term sustainability of evidence-based programs is crucial for effective intervention.
- Previous research has highlighted the challenges in sustaining school-based interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the sustainability of the KiVa antibullying program from 2009 to 2016.
- To identify different patterns of program implementation sustainability.
- To determine factors associated with the sustained implementation of the KiVa program.
Main Methods:
- Latent class analysis was used to identify distinct implementation patterns.
- Logistic regression analyses were employed to identify predictors of sustainability.
- Data were collected from Finnish schools participating in the KiVa program between 2009 and 2016.
Main Results:
- Four implementation patterns were identified: persistent (43%), awakened (14%), tail-offs (20%), and drop-offs (23%).
- Large schools and schools with lower initial victimization levels were more likely to sustain program implementation.
- Specific school-level actions during the initial implementation phase predicted persistent program participation.
Conclusions:
- While many schools successfully sustain evidence-based programs, initial support is vital for program launch and maintenance.
- Targeted support and guidance during the initial implementation phase can enhance the sustainability of antibullying programs.
- The findings underscore the importance of considering school characteristics and early implementation strategies for program longevity.

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

6.2K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

4.2K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.

2.7K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

01:12Taping Over Different Ground Profiles
389
Taping over varying ground profiles requires careful adaptation to achieve accurate measurements. On smooth, level ground with minimal vegetation, the tape can rest directly on the ground. Here, the taping team, typically consisting of a head and a rear tapeman, coordinates their positions with clear communication. The rear tapeman holds the tape at the starting point and guides the head tapeman toward a range pole placed beyond the endpoint, using hand or voice signals to ensure alignment.On...
