School nurses are well positioned to assess, intervene, and evaluate efforts to positively impact students who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive study was to explore the experiences of school nurses providing care to children living with overweight and obesity. Data were collected through face-to-face, tape-recorded, in-depth, open-ended interviews with 10 school nurses from rural areas of North Carolina working with minority and low-income children in the public school setting. The text of the interviews was transcribed and analyzed into codes, categories, and themes. Three themes and eight subthemes were identified. The three themes were identified as (1) "jumping hurdles," (2) "seize the moment," and (3) "moral distress." The findings of this study can be used to provide a better understanding of the experiences of school nurses caring for children with overweight and obesity that is necessary for planning successful school-based interventions.
学校护士具备良好的条件来评估、干预和评估为积极影响超重或肥胖学生所做的努力。这项定性描述性研究的目的是探索学校护士为超重和肥胖儿童提供护理的经历。通过对北卡罗来纳州农村地区10名在公立学校环境中为少数族裔和低收入儿童提供服务的学校护士进行面对面、录音、深入、开放式访谈来收集数据。访谈文本被转录并分析为代码、类别和主题。确定了三个主题和八个子主题。这三个主题分别被确定为：(1)“跨越障碍”，(2)“抓住时机”，以及(3)“道德困境”。本研究的结果可用于更好地理解学校护士照顾超重和肥胖儿童的经历，这对于规划成功的校本干预措施是必要的。
