Program Overview
Approximately 20% of school-aged children have special health care needs requiring school nurse interventions and/or school health services. These health conditions impact student learning and academic success. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are rigorously and systematically developed documents to guide health providers with the best available evidence on the most current and effective treatment regimens and management of the specific clinical problem or topic.
This session will describe the authors’ development of the CPGs for students with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using the NASN Model for Developing School Nursing Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument [LW1]. We will explain the structured process and rigorous standards utilized to compile and assess the research literature, synthesize the findings, write the guidelines, and involve multiple stakeholders and content experts in editing and reviewing the final guidelines. It is critical that a safe and supportive environment exists in schools for students with T1D to self-manage their disease, achieve optimal glycemic stability, and proactively plan and implement risk reduction strategies to minimize actual or potential diabetes-related complications.
We will review potential facilitators and barriers for school nurses and school districts to the provision of care for students with T1D. We will discuss how the CPGs are operationalized via the Toolkit. Finally, we will offer recommendations for next steps: how to distinguish between current practice and evidence-based research surrounding CPGs and how to implement school health-centered policy from CPGs that is relevant for practicing school nurses.

Learning Outcomes
As a result of participating in this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• Describe how to implement the T1D CPGs into their school nursing practice.
• Identify facilitators and barriers to implementing T1D CPGs in their own school districts.
• Discuss how the Toolkit can be utilized to operationalize the T1D CPGs.
• Identify strengths and weaknesses in their school district policies for students with T1D compared to the evidence-based T1D CPGs.

Intended Audience
