A 2011 nationwide school pandemic preparedness study found schools to be deficient. We examined the impact of a school nurse educational intervention aimed at improving K-12 school biological event preparedness.
Missouri Association of School Nurses (MASN) members were e-mailed a survey link in fall 2013 (ie, preintervention), links to online education modules (ie, intervention) in late fall, and a postintervention survey link in spring, 2014. School biological event readiness was measured using 35 indicators, for a possible score range of 0-35. A paired t-test compared pre- to postintervention preparedness scores.
A total of 133 school nurses (33.6% response rate) completed a survey; 35.3% of those (N = 47) completed both pre- and postintervention survey that could be matched. Pre- and postintervention preparedness scores ranged from 5 to 28.5 (x‾ = 13.3) and 6.5 to 25 (x‾ = 14.8), respectively. Postintervention scores were significantly higher than preintervention scores for those who watched at least 1 module (t = -2.3, p < .05).
The education intervention was effective at improving school preparedness, though the impact was small. The education intervention needs to be reassessed, especially in regard to providing a longer intervention period.
2011年一项全国性的学校大流行防范研究发现学校存在不足之处。我们研究了旨在提高K-12学校生物事件防范能力的学校护士教育干预措施的影响。
2013年秋季通过电子邮件向密苏里州学校护士协会（MASN）成员发送了一份调查问卷链接（即干预前），在深秋发送了在线教育模块链接（即干预措施），并于2014年春季发送了干预后调查问卷链接。使用35项指标衡量学校生物事件防范准备情况，可能的得分范围为0至35分。采用配对t检验比较干预前后的防范准备得分。
共有133名学校护士（回复率33.6%）完成了一项调查；其中35.3%（N = 47）完成了干预前和干预后的调查问卷，这些问卷可以进行匹配。干预前和干预后的防范准备得分分别为5至28.5（x‾ = 13.3）和6.5至25（x‾ = 14.8）。对于观看了至少1个模块的人员，干预后的得分显著高于干预前得分（t = -2.3，p < .05）。
教育干预措施在提高学校防范准备方面是有效的，尽管影响较小。需要重新评估教育干预措施，特别是在提供更长干预期方面。
