Presentation Title: The impact of school nursing support on the students educational experience.

After reviewing the literature it is evident that nursing support in the educational system is both necessary and a positive for the community, what is not evident is the impact this support has on the student’s educational experience. There is no data available to answer this question directly. Children are our future and they, and their families, deserve to have their perspectives heard and participate in the interventions they receive. Therefore, this presentation aims to explore the challenges faced by students living with complex medical needs specifically in the context of inclusive classroom setting and how nurses are uniquely positioned to assist these students. Discussion surrounding future research ideas, limitations to study, potential evaluation measures as well as data collection training and standardizing language for school nurses to be explored. Tips for evaluating nursing interventions will also be included.

Title: The Impact of Structured Peer Support and Debriefing on PTSD and Burnout in Frontline Healthcare Workers
Background: Frontline healthcare workers are frequently exposed to traumatic clinical events, placing them at elevated risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout. Despite growing awareness of these psychological impacts, formal support mechanisms remain inconsistent across healthcare institutions. Structured peer support and debriefing programs have emerged as promising interventions, yet their effectiveness requires further empirical validation.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate whether structured peer support and debriefing programs reduce symptoms of PTSD and burnout among frontline healthcare workers compared to those without access to formal support.
**Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed across multiple hospital sites. Quantitative data were collected using validated instruments—the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)—administered to two cohorts: participants in structured support programs and those without formal support. Qualitative interviews explored participants’ perceptions of psychological safety and coping strategies. Ethical approval was obtained through the institutional Research Ethics Board.
**Results: Preliminary findings indicate that participants engaged in structured peer support and debriefing reported significantly lower scores on both PTSD and burnout scales. Qualitative data revealed enhanced feelings of collegiality, emotional validation, and resilience among supported staff. Themes of isolation and emotional fatigue were more prevalent in the unsupported cohort.
**Conclusion: Structured peer support and debriefing programs appear to be effective in mitigating psychological distress among frontline healthcare workers. These findings support the integration of formal support mechanisms into hospital wellness strategies and highlight the need for ongoing evaluation and institutional commitment to staff mental health.
