The burden of childhood visual impairment and disparities in access to pediatric vision care remain pressing issues in the United States. School-based vision programs (SBVPs) serve as one approach to advancing health equity. Operating at the intersection of schools and healthcare, SBVPs can increase access to pediatric vision services, improve academic performance, and facilitate referrals to community vision care providers. To maximize their impact, SBVPs must tailor their services to the individual needs and resources of local school communities. School nurses, who have strong ties to school health care services and the school community, are trusted partners in building SBVPs. This article aims to facilitate SBVP development, implementation, and sustainability processes by offering guidance for school nurses and other stakeholders who aim to build a SBVP, support local programs, or learn more about how SBVPs operate.
在美国，儿童视力障碍的负担以及获得儿科视力保健服务的差距仍然是紧迫的问题。基于学校的视力计划 (SBVP) 是促进健康公平的一种方法。SBVP 位于学校和医疗保健的交叉点，可以增加儿童视力服务的可及性，提高学习成绩，并促进向社区视力保健提供者转介。为了最大限度地发挥其影响力，SBVP 必须根据当地学校社区的个人需求和资源来调整其服务。学校护士与学校卫生保健服务和学校社区有着密切的联系，是建立 SBVP 的可信赖伙伴。本文旨在为希望建立 SBVP、支持当地计划或了解更多 SBVP 运作方式的学校护士和其他利益相关者提供指导，以促进 SBVP 的发展、实施和可持续性进程。
