School Nursing During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Brief Report with A Special Focus on Qatar’s Experience: OAJBS Publishers

School Nursing During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Brief Report with A Special Focus on Qatar’s Experience by Ali Ben Salem* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Background: Most countries all over the world enacted school closures in response to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, ranging in duration from one month to the rest of the academic year. Even if the school doors were locked, the school nurses were able to help with emergency situations. The challenges and solutions in maintaining student health and wellness during extended school closures as well as school reopening due to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in this article.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Medline and Scopus from inception to 11th September 2021. The current report is a summary of data regarding the challenges faced by school nurses during COVID-19 pandemic and their coping strategies all over the world with a special focus to Qatar’s experience.

Results: Governments worldwide implemented different strategic plans involving school nurses to deal with COVID-19 pandemic during school closing as well as school reopening. School nurses faced a big challenge in both situations to ensure a safe return of school for the new academic year. In Qatar, school nurses faced two main situations: (i) during school closure as school nurses were required to work in different working environments which included the Ministry of Public Health, Drive-thru swab facilities, Airport, COVID-19 centers, and home care as well as primary health care facilities and (ii) during school reopening as the school nurses were fulfilling their usual daily task as well as implementing a proper COVID-19 infection control in their school and increasing the awareness regarding the COVID-19 vaccine for eligible age groups.

Conclusion: The role of the school nurse was changing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the school nurse carrying on a wider role in community health, disaster planning, and infection control. This is in addition to changing their communication strategies and care delivery to provide students with the same level of care they have always provided. The voice of the school nurse is crucial in developing current and ongoing school health and safety standards, and school communities may be more prepared than ever to listen in order to make evidence-based decisions to ensure the safety of students and school personnel. Understanding the capacity constraints of an already overburdened school nursing staff, on the other hand, is critical, as is a thorough understanding of the supports and resources required for school nurses to succeed in their new roles.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron m...

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.
