Of the 1.25 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes mellitus, approximately 200,000 are school-aged children. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management in schools is resource intensive. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine school nurses' perception of their ability to provide care and education to children with T1DM using a mixed method approach. The qualitative questions explored the barriers that school nurses encountered in providing quality care for children with T1DM. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 22.0 for Windows). The qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic approach. Eighty-four school nurses employed by a large school system in the southeast participated in the study. The significant findings showed that for school nurses to feel confident to care for children with T1DM, they must have readily available diabetic care management resources, parental support, effective communication with the physicians and other healthcare providers, and students' compliance to diet and medication regimens.
在125万患有1型糖尿病的美国人中，约20万是学龄儿童。学校对1型糖尿病（T1DM）的管理需要大量资源。这项探索性研究的目的是采用混合方法来考察学校护士对为T1DM儿童提供护理和教育能力的看法。定性问题探究了学校护士在为T1DM儿童提供优质护理时遇到的障碍。定量数据使用SPSS（社会科学统计软件包，适用于Windows的22.0版本）进行分析。定性数据采用主题分析法进行分析。东南部一个大型学校系统雇佣的84名学校护士参与了这项研究。重要研究结果表明，要让学校护士有信心护理T1DM儿童，他们必须能随时获得糖尿病护理管理资源、家长支持、与医生及其他医疗服务提供者进行有效沟通，以及学生遵守饮食和药物治疗方案。
