Asthma, the most common chronic disease in children today, is the leading cause of absenteeism among students. It accounts for nearly 20 million lost school days annually. This study examined whether full-time (5 days per week) or part-time (2 days per week) school nurses would have a differential effect on the frequency of absences among elementary school students with asthma. This study found that students with asthma who were poor or who were African American and in schools with full-time nurses missed significantly fewer days (3 days, or 23% fewer missed days) than did their counterparts with asthma in schools with part-time nurses.
哮喘是当今儿童中最常见的慢性疾病，是学生缺勤的主要原因。每年因哮喘损失的上课天数近2000万天。本研究调查了全职（每周5天）或兼职（每周2天）学校护士对患有哮喘的小学生缺勤频率是否会产生不同影响。该研究发现，贫困或非裔美国且所在学校有全职护士的哮喘学生，比所在学校有兼职护士的哮喘学生缺课天数显著减少（少3天，即缺课天数减少23%）。
