States have key roles and responsibilities in protecting and promoting the health of all of school-age youth. Though assessment and planning instruments exist to support quality school nursing service delivery at individual school building, community, and district levels, no comparable measure was available to assess state-level support for the delivery of quality school nursing. This project, conducted in three phases, resulted in the development of a novel measure to identify state-level infrastructure supports for school nursing services delivery. The State School Health Infrastructure Measure is comprised of seven domains with 24 indicators and demonstrated initial content validity and test-retest reliability. States can use this measure to self-assess, identify, benchmark, prioritize, and address state-level infrastructure strengths and gaps related to supporting the delivery of high-quality, equitable school nursing services.
各州在保护和促进所有学龄青年健康方面发挥着关键作用和承担着重要责任。尽管存在评估和规划工具来支持在个别学校建筑、社区和地区层面提供优质的学校护理服务，但没有可比的措施来评估各州对提供优质学校护理的支持。该项目分三个阶段进行，最终开发出一种新的衡量标准，用于确定州一级支持学校护理服务提供的基础设施。州立学校健康基础设施衡量标准由七个领域组成，共有 24 个指标，具有初步的内容有效性和测试-重测信度。各州可以使用该衡量标准进行自我评估、确定、基准测试、确定优先顺序，并解决与支持高质量、公平的学校护理服务提供相关的州级基础设施的优势和差距。
