Background: Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood, that is considered a challenge for parents especially when the child is not developmentally able to manage the disease independently. Since optimal glycemic control is required to prevent acute and long-term diabetes-related complications and enhance school performance, the importance of involving adults in the child diabetes management is essential. Aim of the study: The current study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, regarding children with T1DM among families living in Diwaniyah city. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study conducted in Al Diwaniyah governate, Iraq on a sample of 400 caregivers of type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosed children for a period of three months. Structured questionnaires were used for Knowledge. Chi -square test was applied to find the significant association between qualitative variables. Independent t test and one way ANOVA were applied to illustrate a significant difference between quantitative variable. In all Statistical analyses, a p value equal or below 5% was considered significant. Results: Majority of caregivers; 192 (48%), were in their forties and married. Mothers 239 (59.8%) were the main caregivers, more than half of the studied sample 237(59.3%) had university or institute educational attainment. The average score for knowledge was 9.39±2.9 scores ranging from 0-12 score. Poor knowledge was found among 64 (16%) of caregivers, while 42(10.5%) and 294(73.5%) scored moderate and good knowledge respectively. Education and urban residency were significantly associated with good knowledge. Lower HbA1C level was seen associated with good diabetes knowledge. Conclusion: Although good knowledge were reported.

Issue Addressed: Early primary school children with diabetes require adult support for insulin therapy and primary school teachers often fulfil this health promotion role. Availability of support is inconsistent across Australia and insulin administration at school is avoided for some children. The aims of the study were to explore the experiences of Australian early primary school teachers who were supporting a student using intensive insulin therapy and to identify facilitators and implications of this support. Method:A qualitative research design using narrative inquiry was utilised. Early primary school teachers (n = 11) from six Australian states/territories and across Government, Catholic and independent schools participated in semi-structured telephone interviews between August 2015 and May 2016. Narrative analysis was used to interpret the interview data.Results: Six narrative threads told a collective story of early primary school teachers' experience of supporting a student using intensive insulin therapy. The factors that facilitated support were: suitable class allocation, a transition process, and diabetes education and diabetes models of care. The implications of providing intensive insulin therapy support were legal considerations and burden of responsibility. The outcome was that all teachers supported intensive insulin therapy. Conclusion:School teachers in this study had a pivotal role in promoting the health of students with type 1 diabetes. This role was often associated with anxiety and the burden of responsibility. Support strategies for teachers include formal diabetes skills training, ongoing assistance from both teacher's aides and Diabetes Educators, and greater understanding of the legal aspects of intensive insulin therapy support. The development of consistent health promotion policy for students with type 1 diabetes across all Australian schools is required.So what? Adopting the supportive strategies for teachers identified in this study will further promote the health of early primary school children with type 1 diabetes.

Background: School children stay a significant hour of the day in their school and are the medium through which information can be carried to their parents and other family members, about basic information regarding Pre-Hospital Care. Objectives: To determine the awareness about Pre-Hospital care among school teachers in Mangalore and to determine how many teachers have received formal training in Pre-Hospital care. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among school teachers in 5 schools across Mangalore. Convenience sampling was done. Data was obtained from 118 school teachers across five schools in Mangalore, India using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: It was observed that 61.9% of teachers knew that personal protective equipment has to be worn while giving first aid to someone. Knowledge of school teachers about choking, allergic reactions, heart attacks and hypoglycemic state was considerably better while 94.9% of school teachers knew how to handle a person in a hypoglycemic state. Most teachers, i.e. 93.2% of teachers knew the signs and symptoms of trauma to the head. However only 49.2% teachers knew how to handle nosebleeds. Only 17.8% teachers knew that an allergic reaction to a bee sting must be washed for at least 30 min. Only 57 participants had received previous training in Pre-hospital care. Out of these, 43.8% received training from nurses and 33.3% from paramedical staff. Conclusion:The proportion of school teachers who have received pre hospital training in the recent past was low, their knowledge regarding first aid care was found to be adequate.
