Las Enfermeras Calman La Ansiedad De Los Estudiantes

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Es la llamada temida por todo padre, la enfermera del colegio esta en la linea por que tu hijo esta en otra vez en la enfermeria. ¿Pero es posible que esos dolores se cabeza o de estomago no esten siendo causados por un virus, pero sean producto de la ansiedad?

Con cientos de estudiantes juntos en las clases y en el recreo, no hay persona mas ocupada en un colegio que la enfermera. Pero entre todos esos catarros, fiebres, dolores de estomago y caidas, las enfermeras tienen que lidiar con otro tipo de dolencias que no pueden resolver con bolsas de hielo o curitas. Un siete por ciento de los estudiantes han sido diagnosticados con ansiedad. Golda Ginsburg, PhD, estudia la ansiedad infantil. Ella y sus colegas evaluaron una intervencion para estudiantes de edades entre los 5 y 12 años, que entrena a las enfermeras escolares a usar terapia cognitiva de conducta, a traves de un programa llamado “CALM,” que se traduce como calma. CALM busca calmar al estudiante escuchandolo y guiandolo para que pueda enfrentar y sobrellevar la situacion, y aprender a tramitar problemas futuros.

Durante el estudio, las enfermeras implementaron el programa durante 6 sesiones de 30 minutos con estudiantes que sufrian de ansiedad. Se determino que casi un 60 por cientos de los participantes en CALM dijeron sufrir menos ansiedad y menos sintomas fisicos. El mismo porcentaje de estudiantes que tuvieron niveles de ansiedad mas bajos despues de sesiones mas largas con expertos en salud mental. El distrito escolar de Middletown implemento la porcion de mindfulness o meditacion de atencion plena de calm, conocida como CHILL que significa conectados, sanos y aprendiendo. En CHILL los estudiantes aprenden a respirar profundamente haciendo como que apagan las velas de un pastel o inflan un globo. Para mantener la calma en la clase, y en la vida diaria.

La profesora Ginsberg indica que el impacto de la pandemia sobre la salud mental de los estudiantes no puede ser ignorado. Algunos estudiantes que sufren de ansiedad tratan de evitar aquello que temen, y el aprendizaje remoto les permitio evadir algunos de las situaciones en el colegio que les causaban ansiedad. Con el regreso a las aulas en agosto, para algunos alumnos la ansiedad sera aun peor.
