Qualitative Interview Study

Stress has a negative impact on students’ daily lives and can be associated with recurrent pain. School nurses play a key role in supporting young people with stress-related pain. The purpose of this qualitative interview study was to elucidate school nurses’ experiences of encountering students with recurrent pain when practicing person-centred care. The school nurses were based at public and private schools and worked with students aged 12-19. Data were collected through interviews with 18 school nurses and analyzed with deductive content analysis. The school nurses felt that actively listening to the students’ narratives about daily life with recurrent pain, and co-creation of a health plan, encouraged the students to participate as partners in their own care and strengthened their relation with the students. The application of a person-centred approach in school health care meant that traditional knowledge transfer was replaced with a dialogue that reflects both the student’s and school nurse’s perspective.

Neurodevelopment Disorders

Students with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are present in every school, and most likely, there are a few students in every class. School health care is responsible for providing support to all students, especially those with special needs. The aim of the study was to describe school nurses’ experiences of supporting students with NDDs. A qualitative method consisting of seven focus group interviews (that included a total of 35 school nurses) in Southern Sweden was conducted. Three themes were identified in the findings: helping students with NDDs to interpret sensations, detecting early signs of distress among students with NDDs, and using an inclusive design for health education. This study highlights the importance of school nurses in identifying the needs of students with NDDs and promotes a person-centered approach to achieve a healthy and safe learning environment for all students.

The Executive Committee of the Department of School Nurses, NEA welcomed "Concepts of School Health Programs" from the AAP1 and felt it was very comprehensive in the broad definition of school health programs. There were a few specific comments which I trust AAP will not object to my sharing in the hopes of providing increased and improved dialogue between our two organizations and disciplines. First, there appears to be a matter of semantics with the words "primary health care."

Nurses Perceptions

School nurses have a key role in promoting the mental health of adolescents at school. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of the role and experiences of school nurses as they promote mental health at schools. A qualitative research design employing focus group interviews was used. School nurses (n = 21) were purposively sampled from one city in Southern Finland. The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis, resulting in seven categories describing school nurses’ perceptions, needs and suggestions for development of mental health promotion in school health care. School nurses perceived health care at school as a low-threshold service. Mental health problems are often first identified by a school nurse. However, school nurses felt that extra effort is needed to recognise mental health problems, build trusting relationships, and motivate adolescents to attend regular health check-ups. Specific core learning competencies such as communication skills, being present, keeping confidentiality, and the ability to motivate adolescents to regularly visit the school health clinic are needed. However, school nurses often lack basic resources for mental health promotion. The areas of mental health development included cooperation with stakeholders and parents, and development of anonymous, easy-access services. It is important that school nurses have the skills needed and enough resources to fulfil their demanding tasks in school health care services.

Effective Care

In 2016 the National Association of School Nurses released an updated framework for school nurse practice. One highlight of the new framework is 21st century care coordination. That is, moving beyond basic case management to a systems-level approach for delivery of school health services. The framework broadly applies the term care coordination to include direct care and communication across systems. School nurses are often engaged in efforts to create school health care homes that serve as an axis of coordination for students and families between primary care offices and the schools. Effective care coordination requires that the school nurses not only know the principles of traditional case management but also understand complex systems that drive effective care coordination. The outcome of a system-level approach is enhanced access to services in an integrated health care delivery system that includes the school nurse as an integral member of the school’s health care team. This article presents a comprehensive, system-level model of care coordination for school nurse leadership and practice.

Study Context

<p>Chronic pain is common among Swedish adolescents, and stress is an independent factor in the onset and persistence of chronic pain. When Swedish school nurses conduct their health dialogs they have a unique opportunity to find adolescents with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to explore school nurses’ and adolescents’ experiences of factors that influence adolescent-centered pain management in school health care, when adolescents have chronic pain. The study context is schools in Sweden where primary health care is available through school nurses. A total of 15 school nurses and 15 adolescents participated in individual interviews, which were transcribed and analyzed by qualitative conventional content analysis. Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model was used to explain how these factors are directed at the individual or society. The results demonstrated eight different categories of factors that influenced the pain management. The categories focused mainly on the adolescents’ micro- and mesosystems; few strategies were conducted on an exo- and macrosystem level. On the micro- and mesosystem levels, it was necessary to build trust to be able to influence the adolescents’ behavior in the pain management. Pharmacological strategies were paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; non-pharmacological strategies were physical activities and stress-reducing activities. Research and practice involving a more holistic perspective, studying the possibilities of both change at the organizational level and individual support for adolescents, are essential.</p>

Seit vielen Jahrzehnten sind vor allem in angloamerikanischen und skandinavischen Ländern spezialisierte Pflegekräfte in Schulen tätig, die als sogenannte «School (Health) Nurses» die Kinder und Jugendlichen in allen gesundheitlichen Angelegenheiten betreuen. Diese Übersichtsarbeit widmet sich der Frage, welche konkreten Aufgaben und Rollen School Nurses im internationalen Kontext übernehmen und welche davon auch in Deutschland von entsprechend qualifizierten Pflegefachkräften ausgeführt werden könnten. Mithilfe einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden 34 Publikationen gefunden, die allgemeine Rollen- und Aufgabenbeschreibungen von School Nurses fokussieren. Insgesamt ließen sich elf zentrale Aufgabenbereiche identifizieren. Diese umfassen unter anderem die direkte pflegerische Versorgung bei Verletzungen, Notfällen, akuten oder chronischen Erkrankungen, präventive und gesundheitsförderliche Tätigkeiten, Information, Schulung und Beratung, die Erhebung gesundheitsbezogener Probleme und Bedarfe sowie die Entwicklung und Durchführung entsprechender Angebote und die Bereiche Kommunikation, Kooperation und Vermittlung. Mit Blick auf die positiven internationalen Erfahrungen erscheint die Einführung von School Nurses in Deutschland als vielversprechender Ansatz zur Förderung von Gesundheits- und Unterstützung von Bildungszielen. Das dazu benötigte Kompetenzprofil erfordert eine Zusatzqualifikation «Schulgesundheitspflege», die - basierend auf vorhandenen internationalen Curricula - auf Hochschulniveau angesiedelt sein sollte.
