The complexity and demands of the school nurse role have changed greatly over time. Our aims included determining tasks and knowledge relevant to modern school nursing in the United States, identifying continuing education needs of school nurses, and describing anticipated changes to the professional role. A secondary analysis of a cross-sectional web-based survey of 750 school nurses was performed. The study team evaluated calculations of mean importance and frequency for school nursing task and knowledge statements. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze open-ended responses. School nurses rated most tasks and knowledge as relevant to practice, underscoring the great depth and breadth of education and training school nurses need to meet the demands of students today. The results of this secondary analysis may be leveraged to accurately describe the school nurse role, advocate for nursing services, and support school nurses as they strive to better the health of school communities.
学校护士角色的复杂性和要求随着时间的推移发生了很大变化。我们的目标包括确定美国现代学校护理相关的任务和知识，确定学校护士的继续教育需求，并描述专业角色的预期变化。对 750 名学校护士进行的横断面网络调查的二次分析。研究小组评估了学校护理任务和知识陈述的平均重要性和频率的计算。使用常规内容分析来分析开放式回答。学校护士对大多数任务和知识的评价都与实践相关，这强调了学校护士需要接受广泛而深入的教育和培训，以满足当今学生的需求。对这二次分析的结果可以加以利用，以准确描述学校护士的角色，倡导护理服务，并支持学校护士努力改善学校社区的健康状况。
