School nursing in Great Britain.

According to a school nurse from Woking, Surrey, "school nurses in Great Britain are a group who are just developing and finding their own identity." In a country that offers short courses on the nursing of elderly people, care of the violent or potentially violent individual, principles of stoma care, and nursing for gastrointestinal endoscopy, courses in school nursing have been offered only for a short time period. School nurses in Great Britain work amid the latest technology and provide both modern and traditional screening services. As a group they probably have much in common with their counterparts in the United States.

Diagnosing boredom, confusion, and adaptation in school children.

An instrument was developed to determine if middle-school children could be diagnosed as being in a bored, confused, or adaptive state of mind. Boredom and confusion were viewed as maladaptive states. Reliability was demonstrated for the boredom, confusion, and adaptation subscales. Indications of validity were obtained for the three subscales. Boredom, confusion, and adaptation subscale scores were correlated with standardized achievement test scores and with teacher grades in academic subject areas for 136 sixth and seventh grade students. Confusion scores correlated significantly and negatively with eight of nine standardized achievement test scores, and with two of four teacher grades in academic subject areas. All correlations obtained were in the expected directions. Implications for interventions, especially in the diagnosis of confusion, are discussed.
