  • 007. Interview with Pediatric Nursing Writer’s Award Winner Dr. Elaine Musselman

    007. Interview with Pediatric Nursing Writer’s Award Winner Dr. Elaine Musselman
    Nov 24 2021
    In this episode, Dr. Judy Rollins, PhD, RN, Editor of Pediatric Nursing, talks with Dr. Elaine Musselman, PhD, RN, CNE, the recipient of Pediatric Nursing Journal’s 2020 Donna Wong Writer's Award.

    Dr. Musselman discusses the key points of her article regarding childhood oral health. Tooth decay is a preventable yet common chronic childhood disease that affects children’s nutritional intake and their ability to speak, play, concentrate, and succeed in school. Pediatric nurses have the opportunity to promote children’s oral health by educating parents and providing anticipatory guidance on dental caries prevention when caring for children in schools, clinics, and acute care settings. Oral health education should be provided to parents in the language spoken most frequently by recipients and when children are infants in the hopes of preventing dental caries on primary teeth.

    Dr. Elaine Musselman, PhD, RN, CNE, is an Assistant Professor and Associate Director at the School of Nursing, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California. Her award-winning article, “Racial/Ethnic Differences in Oral Health Knowledge and Practices of Preschoolers’ Parents,” was published in the January/February 2020 issue of Pediatric Nursing.

    Dr. Judy Rollins, PhD, RN, is the Editor of Pediatric Nursing and president of Rollins & Associates Research and Consulting in Washington, DC.

    The newest fad for youth is dangerous and addictive. While the prevalence of smoking tobacco by teens has decreased significantly over the years, nicotine delivery has resurfaced in a new format.

The article, entitled, “Vaping: It’s All a Smokescreen,” was authored by Dr. Janice Selekman, Professor Emeritus from the University of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware.

    In this episode, Pediatric Nursing Journal Editorial Board member Bernice Mowery, a Nursing Research Scientist from the Inova Health System in Northern Virginia, interviews Dr. Selekman, about the use of e-cigarettes and vaping in teens, the serious health risks associated with vaping, and the important role pediatric nurses can play in preventing or decreasing this practice.

She is a leader and national expert on multiple topics related to children and adolescents, most notably care of children in the school setting, children with chronic conditions, high-risk behaviors, and mental health.

She is a past member of the Pediatric Nursing Journal Editorial Board and a well-respected national speaker.
