An increasing number of children attend schools with chronic illnesses/disorders that require managing and comprehensive healthcare from school nurses during the day. Collaboration between school nurses, the school-aged child with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or asthma, and their families is needed when coordinating/managing chronic health problems in the school setting. However, involving families in the assessment and care planning processes can be challenging. The aim of this study was to survey the illness beliefs of school nurses and their perceptions of their family nursing practice skills when offering healthcare services to children with ADHD or asthma in schools. A cross-sectional study was used for a sample of 82 school nurses. The manuscript was prepared following STROBE guidelines. Results indicated that the school nurses perceived themselves to be more confident and to have better knowledge and skill in family nursing practice when offering healthcare services to families of children with ADHD in comparison to asthma.

Abstract Background Ethiopian nurses are facing a culturally diverse population predominantly due to the coexistence of multicultural and diverse ethnics in the country. This study aimed to assess the level of cultural competency and its associated factors among nurses working in tertiary hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on nurses working in tertiary hospitals of Addis Ababa city from March 1 to April 30, 2018. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 352 nurses. Data were collected using an English version self-administered cultural competence questionnaire for nurses scale. Data was entered into Epi data manager version 4.2.2 and exported to SPSS software version 20.0 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results A total of 343 participants were involved in the study with a response rate of 97.4%. The overall cultural competence level of participants was low to moderate (1.94 ± 0.65) with the highest mean was scored for cultural sensitivity (2.54 ± 0.69) and the lowest mean was scored for cultural skill (1.62 ± 0.98). Participants’ age, religion, level of education, work experience, current role, spoken languages beside Amharic and English, previous cultural care education, work experience beside the current hospital, the experience of caring for diverse patients and availability of interpreter service were the factors significantly associated with cultural competence at p < 0.05. Conclusion The overall cultural competence of nurses was low to moderate and influenced by several factors. Therefore, nurses and other responsible bodies should struggle to improve the cultural competence of nurses. Furthermore, a national large-scale study with patient’s perspectives was recommended.

Nurses Perceptions

Asthma is the most common chronic condition in children under 18. In Alabama, 11% of children report a diagnosis of asthma compared to the United States with 9.5%. Childhood asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism due to a chronic disease, and Alabama children with asthma miss approximately 10 days of school each year for uncontrolled asthma. Managing children in the school system with asthma can often be challenging for school nurses. In this cross-sectional study, perceptions of Alabama school nurses on managing asthma in the school were explored. School nurses feel prepared to manage asthma but identify lack of certain resources and supportive policies, especially access to medications as barriers to optimum care. Implications for statewide advocacy at the policy level and broadening educational activities are supported by the survey results.

Abstract Background All children in Sweden are invited to health visits to the school nurse to talk about their health. However, health visits with children of foreign origin might involve challenges when the child and school nurse do not share language and or culture. Such challenges might hinder the child's participation as e.g. sharing needs and experiences important for their health. Hence, school nurses' promotion of participation for these children need to be clarified to develop knowledge on how to promote health. The aim was to investigate school nurses' descriptions of promoting participation for children of foreign origin in health visits. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, using a web-based questionnaire distributed to all school nurses in Sweden. It contained eight open-ended questions regarding promotion of participation for children of foreign origin. Answers were provided by 673 Swedish school nurses and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results The preliminary result shows that school nurses use three approaches to promote participation: 1) adjusting according to the child's proficiency in Swedish and/or cultural or national background, 2) adjusting according to the child's individual needs, and 3) doing the same for all children regardless of their origin. These approaches are used throughout the health visit, although the most commonly was number 1. Such adjustments included the school nurse considering cultural aspects, simplifying their way of talking, or asking the child about their culture or background. Conclusions Adjustment according to the child's proficiency in Swedish and/or cultural or national background are warranted to promote participation in health visits with children of foreign origin. These will strengthen the opportunities for children to share their experiences as well as the encounter between school nurses and children. Key messages School nurses adjust promotion of participation when encountering children of foreign origin. Adjusting promotion of participation in health visits will enable children to share their health needs.
