Abstract

None:

The NASN school health data initiative, Every Student Counts! (ESC!), experienced considerable growth during the 2023 to 2024 school year. ESC! is the working name for NASN's National School Health Data Set. Every school, school district and state that benefits from the collection and use of school health and school nurse data is reminded each year to share that data in a manner that demonstrates its value and encourages its use. When school nurses can see the product of participating in a state data initiative they are affirmed in their efforts and others may be motivated to participate. This article is a vehicle for the sharing of the aggregated National School Health Data Set (ESC!) progress for 2023 to 2024. These data are entered by State Data Coordinators who provide support to school nurses in their states and serve as liaisons to NASN for ESC! Opportunities for school nurses who are not yet engaged in the ESC! initiative are included.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Data Reporting and Recording

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Data Collection II

Data Collection II

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

Data Collection I

Data Collection I

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Student t Distribution

Student t Distribution

The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.
The Student t distribution was developed by William S. Goset (1876–1937) of the...
