Evaluation of visual acuity anomalies among 7 and 8 year olds pupils in Westpomeranian Region in the aspect of school nurses health services quality in that matter.
Representative sample (n=141) from the whole population of 7 and 8 years old pupils of Westpomeranian schools were screened for visual acuity with the use of Snellen standard boards. Classical methods for statistical analysis of results were used.
141 children were examined, among them 59 (42%) from urban areas and 82 (58%) from rural areas. The prevalence of abnormal visual acuity in general population of children in the age of 7 and 8 years in the region was estimated on the base of results from studied sample on the level of 17.7% +/- 5.0% for confidence interval 95% and was in the range 12.3-24.9%.
High prevalence of visual acuity anomalies in general population of pupils (17.7 +/- 5.0%) indicates that more intensive preventive care is needed, also serving by school nurses. Precision in defining methodical approach in nursing care and procedure standards with respect to the affected pupils will result in improved preventive strategies.
从西波美拉尼亚地区学校护士在视力问题方面的健康服务质量角度，评估该地区7至8岁小学生的视力异常情况。
使用斯内伦标准视力表，对西波美拉尼亚地区学校7至8岁学生的全体人群进行代表性抽样（n = 141），以筛查视力。采用经典的统计分析方法对结果进行分析。
共检查了141名儿童，其中59名（42%）来自城市地区，82名（58%）来自农村地区。根据研究样本的结果估计，该地区7至8岁儿童总体人群中视力异常的患病率为17.7%±5.0%（95%置信区间），范围在12.3 - 24.9%之间。
学生总体人群中视力异常的高患病率（17.7±5.0%）表明需要加强预防保健，学校护士也应提供相关服务。在护理方法和针对受影响学生的程序标准方面明确方法的精确性，将有助于改进预防策略。
