Children and adolescents in the United States spend many hours in school. Students with chronic health conditions (CHCs) may face lower academic achievement, increased disability, fewer job opportunities, and limited community interactions as they enter adulthood. School health services provide safe and effective management of CHCs, often for students with limited access to health care. A systematic review to assess the role of school health services in addressing CHCs among students in Grades K–12 was completed using primary, peer-reviewed literature published from 2000 to 2015, on selected conditions: asthma, food allergies, diabetes, seizure disorders, and poor oral health. Thirty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria and results were synthesized; however, 38 were on asthma. Direct access to school nursing and other health services, as well as disease-specific education, improved health and academic outcomes among students with CHCs. Future research needs to include standardized definitions and data collection methods for students with CHCs.

Students with chronic health conditions may be at risk for both social and emotional difficulties that are directly associated with the medical condition or with aspects of treatment and monitoring. This chapter provides an overview of common comorbid mental and neurodevelopmental disorders associated with chronic health conditions in childhood. The chapter also explores the role of stress and coping, as well as positive and negative peer relationships, in emotional and social well-being in children with health conditions. The role of the school-based professional in addressing social and emotional challenges and promoting wellness and resilience in such students is discussed. Finally, specific strategies are presented for the school-based professional to adopt to identify and to address challenges with social and emotional functioning among students with chronic health conditions.
