Influencing College and Higher Education Choices in Disadvantaged Hispanic High School Students Through a School-Based Health Club

Abstract

A school-based health career club involving active participation of parents and students with support from health care professionals such as academic nursing faculty has the potential to simultaneously raise student interest in health-related careers and health needs of their community.

“Thinking outside the Box”: Social Innovations Emerging from Academic Nursing-Community Partnerships

“…Most articles identified mutual benefits when they initiated the partnership, and some conducted surveys or interviews to assess satisfaction with their partnerships and activities (Breen and Robinson 2019;Knight et al 2020;Lashley 2008;Schaffer et al 2017;Tyndall et al 2020). Others measured either the provision of services or the attainment of outcomes (Alexander 2020;Alexander et al 2014;Davis and Travers Gustafson 2015;Eddy et al 2008;Gresh et al 2020;Hildebrandt et al 2003;Marcus 2000;Northrup et al 2008;Singh et al 2017;Stacciarini et al 2011;Sullivan-Marx et al 2010;Wilson et al 2000).…”

“…Among the articles reporting nursing student participation (n ¼ 14), the majority initiated the partnership for the purpose of teaching nursing students about the social determinants of health and the consequences of inequities (Alexander 2020;Alexander et al 2014;Breen and Robinson 2019;Davis and Travers Gustafson 2015;Gresh et al 2020;Knight et al 2020;Lashley 2008;Marcus 2000;Schaffer et al 2017;Sullivan-Marx et al 2010;Tyndall et al 2020;Wilson et al 2000). One launched the partnership to address inequities in the nursing workforce (Singh et al 2017) and another sought to illustrate the utility of nurse-operated community centres (Hildebrandt et al 2003).…”

“…Among the total sample of articles (n ¼ 19), most reported public health (n ¼ 13) rather than community health (n ¼ 5) nursing projects, although one article was not categorised in either branch of population-based nursing as it described efforts to increase college recruitment of Hispanic high school pupils into the field of nursing by having nursing students provide presentations on their college experiences (Singh et al, 2017). Public health programs targeted drug-exposed infants, school children, new mothers, and older persons; and they provided health education on oral health (Lashley 2008), cancer prevention (Friedman et al 2012), healthy eating (Alexander 2020;Northrup et al 2008), maternal-child preventive healthcare (Knight et al 2020;Marcus 2000), intimate partner violence (Eddy et al 2008), disposal of unused prescription medication (Alexander et al 2014), and disaster preparedness (Burke et al 2015).…”

Future of Nursing 2030: The Future Is Bright for School Nursing

“…School nurses have an opportunity to present or invite nurse leaders to share their specialties at school career days. School nurses are advisors to prenursing and health career clubs (Singh et al, 2017). In addition, school nurses can advocate for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) opportunities for Black, indigenous, and other people of color students so they are prepared for the rigor of higher education in the health sciences.…”

Eventos adversos pós-vacinação: desafios da vigilância e notificação

“…Em muitas situações, a conclusão é inviabilizada porque existe grande número de notificações de EAPV incompletos, como lote da vacina, cronologia dos sintomas, entre outros. Nesse contexto, uma investigação realizada na Índia revelou que 37% dos casos de morte notificados com EAPV foram encerrados como não classificáveis por falta de informações primordiais para a causalidade (25) .…”
