School nurses are tasked with the critical job of keeping students safe and well. Due to competing demands for resources in schools, the impact of school nurses must be demonstrated to secure their jobs. A systematic review of the literature from 1937 to 2013 was conducted to show the efficacy of school nursing activities in American elementary schools. While some studies of immunization compliance, attendance rates, body mass index screening, vision screening, and follow-up are promising, results are mixed and additional evidence is needed. The impact of school nurses on educational and health outcomes must continue to be evaluated and more rigorous evaluation methods should be explored. Suggestions for future research and collaborations are discussed.
学校护士肩负着保障学生安全与健康的关键任务。由于学校资源需求相互竞争，必须证明学校护士的作用才能确保他们的工作。对1937年至2013年的文献进行了系统综述，以展示美国小学学校护理活动的成效。虽然一些关于免疫接种依从性、出勤率、体重指数筛查、视力筛查及后续跟进的研究前景乐观，但结果参差不齐，还需要更多证据。必须继续评估学校护士对教育和健康成果的影响，并探索更严格的评估方法。文中讨论了对未来研究与合作的建议。
