Schoolchildren with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience physiologic and psychologic stress that can affect school functioning, mental well-being, and physical health. Student needs are unique and individualized; however, school nurses can support students and families with SCD through comprehensive and thorough care planning efforts. In addition to components specific to individual prescriptions and other nonpharmacological therapies, school nurses should consider school access and inclusion, pain management, racism, and disease self-management when care planning. As a healthcare provider who may have several continuous years of near-daily contact with students, the school nurse is an imperative provider, educator, and advocate for students learning to manage their SCD and avoid the related complications and challenges.
患有镰状细胞病(SCD)的学童会经历生理和心理压力,这可能会影响他们的学业表现、心理健康和身体健康。学生的需求是独特且个性化的;然而,学校护士可以通过全面而深入的护理计划,为患有SCD的学生和家庭提供支持。除了针对个人处方和其他非药物治疗的特定内容外,学校护士在制定护理计划时,还应考虑学校的可及性与包容性、疼痛管理、种族主义以及疾病自我管理等因素。作为可能连续数年几乎每天都与学生接触的医疗保健提供者,学校护士对于学生学习管理自身的SCD并避免相关并发症和挑战而言,是必不可少的提供者、教育者和倡导者。
