Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Pediatrics
  • Nursing Education

Background:

  • Dissociation is a normal adaptation, but can become disruptive with trauma exposure.
  • Children and adolescents may experience dissociation due to trauma, anxiety, or depressive disorders.
  • Online behaviors can be mimicked to express internal distress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To equip school nurses with evidence-based information on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
  • To provide resources for supporting traumatized, misunderstood, or excluded students.
  • To introduce the Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) model for managing dissociative presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on dissociation and DID in children and adolescents.
  • Analysis of social media's impact on DID perception and diagnosis.
  • Presentation of the Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) model.

Main Results:

  • DID is often misunderstood, with myths and misinformation prevalent.
  • Social media significantly influences public perception and controversy surrounding DID.
  • The TIC model offers a framework for supporting students regardless of diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • School nurses require specific knowledge and resources to support students with DID.
  • A trauma-informed approach is crucial for addressing dissociative symptoms in educational settings.
  • Further discussion on practical management strategies for school nurses is needed.
