Abstract:
Although all states have legislation pertaining to youth sports concussion, most of these laws focus on return-to-play procedures; only a few address return-to-learn (RTL) accommodations for students who have experienced a concussion. To address this gap in the legislation, some states and nongovernmental organizations have developed RTL guidelines to advise school personnel, parents, and health care providers on best practices for accommodating students\' postconcussion reintegration into academic activity. In 2018, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) developed RTL guidelines which were disseminated to school nurses (SNs) at all public and nonpublic middle and high schools in the state. In 2020, the MDPH engaged the Injury Prevention Center at Boston Medical Center to survey Massachusetts SNs to assess the usefulness of the guidelines. The response rate was 63%; 92% found the booklet extremely useful or moderately useful; and 70% endorsed that the booklet fostered collaboration among stakeholders.
摘要:
尽管所有州都有关于青少年运动脑震荡的立法,这些法律中的大多数都侧重于重返游戏程序;对于经历脑震荡的学生,只有少数地址返回学习(RTL)住宿。为了弥补立法上的这一差距,一些州和非政府组织制定了RTL指南,为学校工作人员提供建议,父母,和卫生保健提供者关于适应学生脑震荡后重返学术活动的最佳做法。2018年,马萨诸塞州公共卫生部(MDPH)制定了RTL指南,并向该州所有公立和非公立初中和高中的学校护士(SNs)传播。2020年,MDPH与波士顿医学中心的伤害预防中心进行了调查,以评估该指南的有用性。回复率为63%;92%的人认为这本小册子非常有用或中等有用;70%的人赞同这本小册子促进了利益相关者之间的合作。
