Abstract:The Bilbao School Health Service was created at the beginning of the century with the aim of preventing transmittable diseases among children as well as improving nutrition. At that time such services were established in many other countries. Since then, according to evolving societal changes and emerging needs, the Service has reoriented its scope and structure towards the Health Promotion scheme.Current tasks include health screening examinations and hygiene surveillance as well as preventive and health education programmes.

Health Model

In 1993 the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) began defining essential components of school health service programs, consistent with the public health model. The MDPH designed and funded the Enhanced School Health Service Programs to develop 4 core components of local school health services: (a) strengthening the administrative infrastructure; (b) promoting health education, including tobacco control activities; (c) linking school health services with health care providers; and (d) implementing management information systems. Funds were appropriated in 1992 from the tobacco excise tax. With additional funding appropriated in 1999 and 2000 from the Tobacco Settlement Fund, these school nurse–managed programs have increased in number. The goal is to develop a statewide system of high-quality school health service programs responsive to the specific needs of students in each community. To be effective, these programs must be recognized as essential components of the primary health care delivery system serving children.

Time Required

One of the national primary health care services in Malaysia is school health care. This care is very crucial as it ensures that, countrywide, the health of students from the age of five to fifteen is in a good condition. In Malaysia, nurses hold a major responsibility for delivering the school health service. However, there is no solid research investigating the nursing time required to deliver school health services. This paper presents a system dynamics model representing the specific school health services delivered by nurses. System Dynamics is a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design. In this paper, the system dynamics model are represented by several causal loop diagrams which covers all the school health activities and is able to determine the projected total nurse time required in delivering the service. The baseline simulation result of the nurse time required for delivering school health services is about 1080000 hours in year 2030, which is equivalent to 680 full time equivalent (FTE) nurses. Furthermore, various what-if analyses are tested with the model, as it is important for policy makers to investigate various scenarios for an effective decision-making process. In other words, the theme of the study is to understand the implication of the changes in school population size and the modification of certain activities in the school health program on the nurse time spent delivering school health service by developing a dedicated forecasting system dynamics model for school health. The time horizon for the forecasting is from 2018 until 2030

THERE has been a marked change in our concept of the term "school health service." Early activities in this field were almost wholly devoted to the control of communicable disease. Today, thanks to immunization, the antibiotic drugs and health education, most of the old enemies of child health have been conquered. As a result, the years that a child spends in school have been made the healthiest period of life, when appraised by the crude measure of mortality. Why then school health service? Let me first define what I mean by this term. It comprises health supervision of the school child by educators, public health nurses and school physicians for case-finding and health guidance. At no other time of life is the child or family so readily available for preventive medical service and health education. Public health cannot afford to neglect this ready access to so large a segment of the population—actually more than 20 million persons. Entrance to kindergarten and first grade is perhaps the most valuable of these opportunities. For all too many children, this is the first health examination since the first year of life. Habit disorders or physical defects which have developed in the preschool years can be brought to light and treatment advised. A convincing demonstration of the value of a good medical examination at this time of life occurred recently when I was instructing a group of fourth year medical students. As part of their pediatric training, they visited a school to do some examinations under supervision.
