School systems face many challenges in attempting to address the childhood overweight and obesity epidemic. Given the accumulated nature of the required physical activity and the likelihood that only one meal will be delivered while on school grounds, the potential for impactful change in obese or overweight children through school policy is limited. From this vantage point, it is easy to see that physical education programs alone cannot ensure that children participate in 60 minutes of daily physical activity. The necessary multifaceted approach requires opportunities for physical activity to be obtained throughout the school day. The school nurse and physical education teachers are the school personnel most likely to be involved in efforts to curtail the childhood overweight and obesity epidemic at the school level. These individuals are in critical roles of assisting both parents and children when it comes to understanding the devastating effects of being overweight and obese and in helping children identify positive health behaviors that may help reverse this condition. The purpose of this article is to describe the ways in which the school nurse and physical education teacher can work collaboratively to better address the childhood overweight and obesity epidemic.
学校系统在试图应对儿童超重和肥胖流行问题时面临诸多挑战。鉴于所需体育活动具有累积性，且在校园内可能仅提供一顿餐食，通过学校政策对肥胖或超重儿童产生显著改变的可能性有限。从这个角度来看，很容易明白仅靠体育教育项目无法确保儿童每天参与60分钟的体育活动。必要的多方面方法要求在整个上学日都有获得体育活动的机会。学校护士和体育教师是最有可能参与学校层面遏制儿童超重和肥胖流行工作的学校工作人员。在帮助家长和孩子理解超重和肥胖的破坏性影响以及帮助孩子识别可能有助于扭转这种状况的积极健康行为方面，这些人起着关键作用。本文的目的是描述学校护士和体育教师可以如何合作，以更好地应对儿童超重和肥胖流行问题。
