Thesis Venous ulcers (VU) consume considerable resources in healthcare systems, up to 1% of healthcare budgets in industrialized countries. Best practice guidelines (GLs) incorporate evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations in a cost-effective manner and have been associated with improved and less costly outcomes for many diseases. Objectives To determine whether there are common elements in GLs for VU and their evidentiary strength. Methods A systematic analysis of GLs for VU that were identified through clinicaltrials.gov, a government-sponsored website, and from experts outside the USA. Results Ten of 12 GLs on VU (7 North America and 5 Europe) were evidence-based, with the majority using the GRADE method. Only two had been developed or updated within the last three years. Venous duplex and ankle ABIs were recommended in all. Debridement was suggested in two, while simple non-adherent wound dressings were favoured in nine, and hydrocolloid in two. Only one GL discussed a range of dressing options, dependent on the condition of the VU. High pressure multi-layer compression bandages were favoured in 10. Only two focused on the importance of improving ankle joint mobility. Conclusions While there are numerous evidence-based GLs for VU, the majority may lag recent developments in the field. There is consensus on the elements for dressings and compression among the various GLs, which should facilitate the development of a common consensus GL, similar to that for DVT/PE. To improve patient care and reduce wasted resources, it is imperative for specialty societies to develop this consensus document.

School counselors have been remiss in documenting how the school counseling program is an essential component to the growth of school-aged youth. As a result, school counseling programs and personnel either have been eliminated or school counselors have been assigned duties that do not reflect their training and education. Many school counselors complain that existing assessment instruments either are too expensive or do not adequately reflect the program objectives and goals. This article provides a step-by-step model for designing testing instruments that can be effective in producing data that reflect program or intervention results. An example of how a middle school counselor assessed her leadership program is included.

Character education was one of the focuses in the system of national education. Therefore, educators must not neglect this. A school counselor, as one of the educators, has to play a role in character education. Referring to guidance and counseling responsibilities in relation to students’ personal, social, academic, and career aspects, a school counselor must not escape from the main duties. Considering that character education is the responsibility of all parties, a school counselor can, independently and in collaboration with all school components, play a role in character education. Individually, a school counselor can provide services, such as individual services, individual planning services, and responsive services. In collaboration with other parties, a school counselor can make a synergy in character education programs. While guidance and counseling services are one of the service programs that contribute to the implementation of the program in schools. So that it is expected that the implementation of strengthening of character education through guidance and counseling services in schools can be implemented and implemented effectively and efficiently, so that it can achieve more optimal goals for the development of character values that exist in students.Keywords: School Counselors; Character Education; Counseling Guidance Services
