Sports-related concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a frequent occurrence among high school athletes. Long-term and short-term effects of TBI on the athlete’s developing brain can be minimized if the athlete reports and is effectively treated for TBI symptoms. Knowledge of concussion symptoms and a school culture of support are critical in order to promote the student’s intention to report TBI symptoms. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the relationship between the high school athlete’s concussion knowledge and an intention to report TBI symptoms. One hundred eleven articles were retrieved and four articles met established criteria and were included in this systematic review. A link appears to exist between high school athlete concussion knowledge and an intention to report TBI symptoms. School nurses can provide a supportive environment and concussion knowledge to the high school athlete in order to ultimately facilitate TBI symptom reporting.

Bullying in schools is a major health concern throughout the world, contributing to poor educational and mental health outcomes. School nurses are well placed to facilitate the implementation and evaluation of bullying prevention strategies. To evaluate the effect of such strategies, it is necessary to measure children's behavior over time. This scoping review of instruments that measure the self-report of aggressive behavior and bullying by children will inform the evaluation of bullying interventions. This review aimed to identify validated instruments that measure aggression and bullying among preadolescent children (age 8-12). The review was part of a larger study that sought to differentiate bullying from aggressive behavior by measuring the self-report of power imbalance between the aggressor and the child being bullied. The measurement of power imbalance was therefore a key aspect of the scoping review.

Literature reviews provide important evidence for practice. Yet review authors must guard against several ethical concerns including plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and piecemeal publication. Editors have tools that ensure the originality of manuscripts showing the percentage of narrative that is duplicated. Sage Publication journals including The Journal of School Nursing (JOSN) use software called iThenicate (Version: 2.0.8). Reviewers, who are content and clinical experts, support the effort that literature reviews and the research reported in reviews meet the ethical standard of originality. Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are the use of previously published narrative even that of the author’s publications (American Psychological Association, 2010). While authors feel ownership of their own work, publication ethics dictate that manuscripts are original and duplication of previously published work is not allowed. The availability of publications through the Internet expands the availability of published work for review. A useful strategy to avoid plagiarism in literature reviews is to compose narrative from a conceptually developed review matrix or table that provides for synthesis of the research. The tables presented by authors in this issue provide examples of various conceptual approaches to literature reviews. Duplicate publication is the publication of results in multiple journals. Authors may feel that the results of their work should be published in several journals for different audiences. Publication ethics disallow duplicate publication (American Psychological Association, 2010) and with broad availability of publications through the Internet, concern for different audiences is not a valid argument. The challenge for authors is to write for all audiences in a way that does not limit the scientific quality of the report but translates scientific writing for clinical readers. Piecemeal publication is the excessive publication of limited elements of results in multiple publications (American Psychological Association, 2010). Publication ethical guidelines suggest that in some cases, such as longitudinal studies, multiple reports of results are allowed since dissemination of time specific outcomes inform continued research and practice (American Psychological Association, 2010). Most studies warrant multiple publications. For example, a literature review of the problem can result in a comprehensive manuscript, outlining gaps in research and directions for advancing research addressing the problem. Manuscripts reporting methodologies are another unique element of research and some journals accept papers that report protocols. The brief research report is such a vehicle for JOSN (http://journals.sagepub.com/home/jsn). Both literature review manuscripts and brief research reports provide a method to publish throughout the time of a study.

The rate of concussions in adolescents has risen over the last decade, resulting in cognitive and emotional problems. Neurologists recommend cognitive and physical rest during the recovery period, followed by a transitional return-to-classroom protocol. The purpose of the study was to develop and test an instrument that explores the beliefs and roles of school nurses in concussion care management. The instrument was a cross-sectional descriptive survey based on the theory of planned behavior, using Qualtrics®. The psychometric properties of the instrument were assessed through exploratory factor analysis with orthogonal rotation. The reliability of the instrument was assessed for internal consistency reliability using Cronbach’s α. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin for sample adequacy was .8; Cronbach’s α strong (.851).

Adolescents transitioning to high school may be at greater risk of depression and suicide if they are victims of bullying behavior. This study explored sex differences in bullying victimization (physical, verbal/social, and cyberbullying) and the impact on depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors in ninth-grade students (N = 233). Females reported significantly more verbal/social and cyberbullying than male students. There were no significant sex differences in physical bullying; male students who reported physical bullying victimization were more likely to experience depressive symptoms. Verbal/social bullying predicted depressive symptoms in males and females. Females who reported being victims of cyberbullying were more likely to report depressive symptoms, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts. Eighteen students reported suicide attempts, and each also experienced verbal/social bullying. School nurses are positioned to reach out to transitioning students, screen for mental health issues, provide a safe place to talk about bullying experiences, and promote positive mental health.

High school students are maturing physically, psychosocially, and sexually. Some may be unsure of their sexual orientation. The purpose of the study was to determine whether students who self-identified as homosexual-lesbian/gay, bisexual (LGB), and unsure of sexual orientation had more stressful life events (SLEs), perceived stress, bullying victimization, and depressive symptoms as compared to heterosexual peers. Cortisol was examined to determine whether levels were within normal range for age and followed a normal diurnal rhythm. This correlational design included five surveys to assess n = 143 ninth graders. LGB and unsure students had more SLEs, perceived stress, bullying victimization, and depressive symptoms than heterosexual peers. All participants had normal cortisol levels, with the majority having normal diurnal rhythms. School nurses should consider more training about LGB and unsure students. Additional outreach, support, screening, or referrals for LGB and unsure students are warranted if the school nurse suspects depressive symptoms.

The purpose of the study was to examine relationships between sleep insufficiency, depressive symptoms, demographic factors, and the nonmedical use of prescription medications (NMUPMs) in the U.S. high school students. Data from the 2013 Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System were used (n = 13,570) and analyzed using IBM SPSS 23™ (complex samples). Significant bivariate relationships were found between the NMUPMs and sleep (p < .01), feeling sad (p < .001), grade level (p < .001), and race/ethnicity (p < .01). Logistic regression analyses found that all of the independent variables were significant in predicting the likelihood of the NMUPMs. Findings underscore the potential impact of preventing NMUPMs in high school adolescents by improving their sleep behaviors and assessing adolescents for depressive symptoms.

Students in Vermont with incomplete or undocumented immunization status are provisionally admitted to schools and historically had a calendar year to resolve their immunization status. The process of resolving these students’ immunization status was challenging for school nurses. We conducted a school-based quality improvement effort to increase student compliance with Vermont immunization regulations using a collaborative learning approach with public health school liaisons and school nurses from public schools to reduce provisional admittance in 2011–2012. Strategies included using a tracking system, accessing the immunization registry, promoting immunization importance, tracking immunization plans, and working with medical homes to update records. Participating school nurses observed decreases in the number of provisionally admitted students, although this reduction was not significantly different than matched comparison schools. We also found the number of provisionally admitted students fluctuated throughout the year and resolving the immunization status of New Americans and exchange students required special attention. Our approach supports the coordinated school health model and demonstrates the critical role school nurses play in improving population health outcomes.
