1.

Provide any additional changes made to the Program that were not a part of your Program Review report.

The nurse duty day contract has been decreased from 205 days per year to 177 days per year. It was hoped that this change could potentially assist with the hiring of a Psych Intern or the change from PT to FT in the Health Services Secretary position. This was not the case. Funds did not allow for either of these changes to occur. Even so, the Psych Intern position has been approved by the VP and will proceed in Fall

2013.

The college nurse co-authored a Student Mental Health Program grant which was awarded to the District in Fall 2012 in the amount of $

246,737. The funds did not allow for the hiring of any staff. The funds are being used to provide training to students, staff, and faculty for mental health stigma reduction, suicide prevention, and establishing sustainable community partnerships. In the first year, the grant funds established Mental Health First Aid trainers for the district (including the WI College Nurse), purchased the Student Health 101 online subscription for the district, brought the ALIVE Mental Health Fair to the Willow International campus, brought the “Welcome Home” training to help faculty and staff better assist student veterans on campus, and has provided interactive online mental health training opportunities to students, staff, and faculty on suicide prevention, veterans issues, and LGBTQ issues.

2.

List in detail any new Program needs and a brief rational for this need.

As mentioned since 2007, the space dedicated for the Health Office is inadequate. While I have been given permission to store my supplies in 2-3 places within the AC-2 building, finding and keeping track of supplies so far from the Health Office is burdensome. Wheelchair access

Program Review/SLO Annual Progress Report – approved 08/23/2012 Page 3 of 6

to the Health Office treatment room in inadequate. Although the space itself cannot be changed at any time in the near future, rearrangement of the main health office storage cabinets to a nearby location that is readily accessible could allow for the medication refrigerator relocation to the outer office (to free up space for wheelchair access to the recovery couch within the treatment room) and also allow for the rearrangement of the reception desk so that we can establish a waiting space for 1-2 students inside the office rather than the current location out in the hallway outside of the door.

3.

Summarize the progress your Program has made this year on SLO assessment.

Classroom presentations by the nurse has remained effective for assisting students in changing behavior in order to preventing the top 3 health issues that negatively affect them academically as self-reported on the American College Health Associations National College Health

Assessment Survey (Spring 2006, Spring 2010). New presentation and resource handouts on Depression has been developed and implemented by the nurse. Handouts for Test Anxiety are in development.

Since the classroom presentations have consistently maintained effectiveness for some time, the data collections on these presentations will be decreased to intermittent “spot checks” and the major focus for Health Services SLOs in Fall of 2013 will be the Depression Screening

Program.

4.

Provide any additional information that your Program would like to share.

The nurse is active in several campus and community committees. The nurse is responsible for the continued improvement of the health services program, program review, SLOs, and the State Mental Health Grant implementation at Willow International. The nurse provides the only health office coverage at Willow International. As a one-nurse health office program with one part-time support staff, it is difficult to cover all the office hours for student visits while attending meetings and performing classroom presentations. The workload makes it difficult to complete required projects such as program review, program annual reporting, and program development including SLOs.

While it is understandable that administration prefers that my duty days correspond with instruction days, it may be necessary to schedule in non-interrupted time for the nurse to complete paperwork, maintain competency in field, update website, plan outreach, and plan classroom presentations. Especially with the reduction in Nurse duty days from 205 to 177, reconsideration of the office hours for student visits may need to take place in order to allow time for the nurse to adequately address her other duties. This will be looked at in Fall 2013.

PROGRAM SLO REPORT

Health Services

OUTCOME 1:

Student reports intent to adopt at least one of the recommended daily activities/habits to help decrease effects of chronic stress and/or improve ability to handle stress.

OUTCOME 2:

Student reports intent to adopt at least one of the recommended daily activities/habits to better support restorative sleep.

OUTCOME 3:

Student reports intent to adopt at least one of the recommended daily activities/habits to prevent unnecessary exposure to colds/flu.

OUTCOME 4:

Student will report competence in ability to effectively use the AED on persons found to be unconscious and pulseless.

OUTCOMES 1-3: Post classroom presentation assessment.

OUTCOME 4: Pre- and Post-classroom presentation assessment

75%

OUTCOMES: 1-3: Classroom presentations were very effective in persuading students to change behavior/habits for better health and academic outcomes.

OUTCOME 4: Classroom presentation very effective in improving self-reported competence in ability to effectively use the AED in the event of cardiac arrest.

Achievement exceeds expected level.

OUTCOME 1: 93.98% of the 249 students who received the Stress presentation reported intent to adopt at least one recommendation to change behavior to better manage stress.

OUTCOME 2: 96.70% of the 249 students who received the Sleep presentation reported intent to adopt at least one recommendation to change behavior to improve sleep.

OUTCOME 3: 90.76% of the 249 student who attended the Cold/Flu presentation reported intent to adopt at least one recommendation to change behavior to better prevent cold/flu infection.

W HAT CHANGES , IF ANY

STUDENT SUCCESS ?

, ARE NEEDED TO INCREASE

I F CHANGES ARE MADE , HOW AND WHY DO YOU EXPECT

THEM TO INCREASE STUDENT SUCCESS ?

OUTCOME 4: Students reporting competency in effectively being able to use the AED to assist someone in cardiac arrest increased from 7.39% pre-presentation to 99:47% post-presentation for the 379 students who attended the AED presentation. Increased student awareness and ability to recognize when the AED is needed as well as how to use the AED improves campus and community safety and effective response to cardiac emergencies.

No change necessary. Classroom presentations are well received and effective. Plan to decrease data collections to once or twice a year to “spot check” effectiveness rather than collecting data for every presentation. Time will be better spent initiating new SLOs for depression screening and depression selfmanagement program.

The American College Health Association National College Health Assessment survey (ACHA NCHA) is administered at WI every three years in order to collect student health needs data. This survey provided the selfreported data on the top health issues that negatively affected students academically within the prior year. For

2006 and 2010, the top three health issues were: Stress, Sleep, Cold/Flu. That is why these topics were chosen for the classroom presentations. The ACHA NCHA was administered in Spring 2013. If this updated needs assessment shows a change in the top health issues that negatively affected student academics, a revision to the presentations will be made to address the top issues.

If new top health issues are identified, new presentations will be developed and offered in Fall 2013. I F CHANGES ARE MADE , WHEN WILL THEY BE

IMPLEMENTED ?
