As states legalize medical cannabis, school nurses face increased parent questions about administration at school. Although school nurses frequently collaborate on the development and implementation of medication administration policies, their perceptions of barriers to school-based medical cannabis administration are not well-documented. To explore these perceptions, we surveyed school nurses (n = 379) in sixteen states about their beliefs related to school-based medical cannabis administration policy development. Findings revealed school nurses from states completely legalizing cannabis expressed significantly fewer concerns about the safety, stigma, and federal status of medical cannabis than their peers in more restrictive states. Implications for practice include (a) education of key stakeholders, (b) collaboration with stakeholders to formulate medication administration policy; and (c) development of state-level guidance for school professionals.
随着各州使医用大麻合法化，学校护士越来越多地面临家长关于在学校管理的问题。尽管学校护士经常合作制定和实施药物管理政策，但他们对基于学校的医用大麻管理障碍的看法并没有得到很好的记录。为了探讨这些看法，我们调查了十六个州的学校护士（n=379），了解他们对基于学校的医用大麻管理政策制定的相关信念。调查结果显示，在完全使大麻合法化的州，学校护士对医用大麻的安全性、污名化和联邦地位的担忧明显少于限制更严格的州的同行。对实践的启示包括：（a）对主要利益相关者的教育；（b）与利益相关者合作制定药物管理政策；（c）为学校专业人员制定州级指导方针。
