The school nurse as a health counselor.

It is difficult for school nurses to meet the many and varied demands of students, school personnel, and parents. This is especially true since the expectations of each may differ in different circumstances. However, if the school nurse has a clear perception of her own role and its inherent limits, if she takes every opportunity for staff development through inservice education or graduate work in counseling and human development, then she is in a unique and invaluable position to assume a role of major importance in the pupil personnel team within the school.

The effects of a psychiatric patient education to medication program on post-discharge compliance.

The effect of a structured program of education on subsequent psychiatric patient compliance with medication-taking was investigated. The subjects consisted of 150 hospitalized patients housed on four acute-care receiving wards and ready for discharge from Fallsview Psychiatric Hospital in Ohio. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Results indicated that subjects who received written information with verbal reinforcement were significantly more compliant than the control subjects. These findings suggest that, if the hand-out is discussed with them, the patients given medication handouts similar to those used in the study will comply with medication-taking after discharge at a higher rate than those given no hand-out. Implications of these findings for increased psychiatric patients' post-discharge compliance with medications are discussed.
