Nurse Education in Practice
|June 21, 2019
Summary
School nurses can improve diabetes management knowledge through rapid e-learning modules. This study shows these modules effectively enhance professional development for school nurses caring for students with diabetes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Endocrinology
- Nursing Education
- Public Health
Background:
- Over 200,000 school-aged children in the U.S. require diabetes management assistance.
- School nurses play a crucial role in training staff and assisting students with diabetes.
- Efficient and accessible training is vital for school nurses to stay current on diabetes care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a rapid e-learning module for school nurse professional development.
- To assess improvements in knowledge regarding school-based diabetes management.
Main Methods:
- A sample of 1,127 school nurses participated in the study.
- Nurses completed a pre-test and a rapid e-learning module on diabetes management.
- A post-test was administered to assess knowledge acquisition.
Main Results:
- A significant increase in knowledge was observed from pre-test to post-test (p < 0.001).
- The e-learning module effectively conveyed current information on diabetes management and staff training.
Conclusions:
- Rapid e-learning modules are a convenient and effective method for school nurse professional development.
- E-learning significantly improves nurses' knowledge base for managing diabetes in schools.

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.

01:29Professional Values
10.5K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

01:22The Professional Nurse
6.3K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

2.5K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...
