Curriculum Delivery

The authors evaluated a brief, school-wide, bystander bullying intervention (STAC) designed to establish school counselors as leaders in curriculum delivery. Elementary school students trained in the program reported an increase in perceived knowledge and confidence to act as “defenders,” utilizing the STAC strategies when they observed bullying, and a decrease in bullying victimization and perpetration at a 4-month follow-up. We discuss implications for school counselors.

Actual Gain

Community “gatekeepers” ( N = 53) participated in an alcohol education workshop designed to increase indentification, intervention, and referral of women with alcohol problems. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the workshop and, participated in a six-month follow-up. Results suggest that the higher the educational level and more salient the topic of alcoholism in women, as suggested by greater percent of women clients, the greater the actual gain in knowledge. Gatekeepers with no prior alcoholism training perceived themselves as having less knowledge about alcoholism before the workshop and showed greater pains in perceived knowledge as a result of the workshop than gatekeepers with prior training.

AbstractObjectiveCommunity health workers (CHWs) in disaster-affected areas are at risk for emotional distress, as they support others while they may be in the process of rebuilding their own lives. The Resilience and Coping for the Healthcare Community (RCHC) intervention was developed in response to the stress CHWs faced after Hurricane Sandy. The intervention uses psychoeducation to help participants identify common stress responses, recognize signs of job burnout, and utilize healthy coping strategies.MethodsA mixed-methods pilot of the RCHC intervention was conducted in 2013 with a convenience sample of staff from 6 federally qualified health centers (n=69). Validated measures of stress, coping, compassion fatigue and satisfaction, burnout, stress, and social provisions and a measure of perceived knowledge were administered at baseline, after the workshop, and at a 3-week follow-up. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 randomly selected participants and were analyzed by using content analysis.ResultsFrom baseline to the post-workshop assessment, perceived knowledge scores increased from 24.59 to 30.34, t(62)=5.16 (P<0.001), and acute stress scores decreased significantly from 10.53 to 6.78, t(64)=4.74 (P<0.001). Significant increases from baseline to the 3-week follow-up (n=45) were found for perceived knowledge (24.05 to 27.24; t(40)=5.37; P<0.001), and social provisions (27.34 to 28.39; t(44)=2.15; P<0.05).ConclusionsOur qualitative findings indicated that the respondents valued learning about common stress responses and incorporating coping as part of a daily routine. Team building and normalization of emotions were seen as ancillary benefits that would reduce stress levels in the workplace. In conclusion, the RCHC intervention shows promise and should be investigated further in experimental studies. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2016;page 1 of 8)

Visual Disturbances

Hypertensive disease of pregnancy (HES) in Peru is one of the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is a multifactorial pathology that results in multisystemic compromise, one of the affected organs is that of vision, ophthalmological changes in EHE are related to the severity and time of evolution of hypertension, if the patient does not receive timely care, it may refer in irreversible visual disturbances. Objective: To identify the ophthalmological changes associated with EHE and establish their relationship with the severity of the condition. Material and methods: 47 women who live above 3,800 meters above sea level (m.s.n.m) were included, with a diagnosis of EHE who were treated in the gynecology service of Hospital III Juliaca EsSalud, in the period from July 2018 to January 2019, of which 13 patients were evaluated in the ophthalmology service of the mentioned hospital, where biomicroscopy and fundoscopy were performed. Results: A higher frequency was found between 18-34 years, all patients had gestations greater than 34 weeks, 6,4% had a history of hypertensive disease of pregnancy; the most frequent symptoms were headache, lower limb edema. 27,7% of the patients with hypertensive disease of pregnancy were evaluated by ophthalmology, finding that 61.5% of the patients did not present hypertensive retinopathy, 7.7% grade I according to the Keith-Wegener-Baker classification, 15,4% grade II and 15,4% grade III. Conclusions: The study found a statistically significant correlation between the degree of severity of the hypertensive disease of pregnancy and the degree of severity of the hypertensive retinopathy. The fundus allows the severity of the condition to be identified, the ophthalmological evaluation helps to make decisions about the treatment and follow-up of patients to avoid blindness due to EHE. Keywords: Hypertensive disease of pregnancy, hypertensive retinopathy, fundus.
