We identified five themes: lack of student engagement, practices discouraging engagement, practices fostering engagement, lack of vaccination protocol adjustments, and lack of disability-specific nurse training. Nurses' limited knowledge and skills in engaging students with IDD can result in unethical practices, students feeling excluded from vaccination decisions, and students being traumatized by negative treatment experiences.

This study explored the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between attitudes toward bullying and intervention efforts among teachers.

Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included the Bullying Attitude Questionnaire-Modified, Teachers' Self-Efficacy Regarding Bullying Scale, and the Handling Bullying Questionnaire. Mediation analysis with PROCESS Macro v4.2 revealed a nonsignificant total effect between teachers' attitudes and their interventions, but self-efficacy fully mediated this relationship. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing teachers' self-efficacy to ensure that antibullying attitudes translate to active intervention.
