The purpose of this exploratory research study was to survey Kansas school nurses to determine the impact of budget, delegation, and other variables on the future of school nursing. Issues of education and certification status, educational budget, delegation, school nurse-to-student ratio, number of school buildings assigned, Metropolitan Statistical Area, and years of school nursing experience were also investigated. The Budget Impact School Nurse Questionnaire online survey was used to gather data. Findings revealed that school nurses were well prepared academically, but that many school nurses lacked certification. The use of UAPs and the future of school nursing were significantly affected by budget constraints, delegation, number of buildings assigned, legislative contact, and Metropolitan Statistical Area (urban location). Education in delegation and years of experience as a school nurse significantly affected opportunities for health education. The findings depicted budget, school nurse staffing, delegation, and geographic areas as the main variables that have an impact on school nursing.
这项探索性研究的目的是对堪萨斯州的学校护士进行调查，以确定预算、任务分配及其他变量对学校护理未来发展的影响。同时还调查了教育与认证状况、教育预算、任务分配、学校护士与学生的比例、负责的学校建筑数量、大都市统计区以及学校护理工作经验年限等问题。通过在线调查《学校护士预算影响调查问卷》来收集数据。研究结果显示，学校护士在学术方面准备充分，但许多人缺乏认证。预算限制、任务分配、负责的建筑数量、立法联络以及大都市统计区（城市地区）对非专业辅助人员的使用和学校护理的未来发展产生了重大影响。任务分配方面的教育以及担任学校护士的年限对健康教育机会有显著影响。研究结果表明，预算、学校护士人员配备、任务分配和地理区域是影响学校护理的主要变量。
