Regular attendance is integral for students' academic success; it also affects adolescents' physical and mental health. Very few studies consider (a) differences between partial- and full-day absences regarding chronic absenteeism (CA; missing school ≥15 days in an academic year); or (b) roles of school nurses in addressing student absenteeism. This study describes school nurses' perceptions of factors related to CA and differences between partial- and full-day absences by analyzing qualitative data from six focus groups with 21 Midwestern school nurses. Four themes emerged: ; ; ; and . Findings highlight the importance of school nurses by describing their role in identifying students who are at risk for CA, allowing for effective assessment and intervention with students before patterns of CA become habitual.
按时上学对于学生的学业成功至关重要;它还会影响青少年的身心健康。很少有研究考虑(a)在长期缺勤(CA;一学年缺课≥15天)方面半日缺勤和全日缺勤之间的差异;或(b)学校护士在解决学生缺勤问题中的作用。本研究通过分析来自与21名中西部学校护士的六个焦点小组的定性数据,描述了学校护士对与CA相关因素的看法以及半日缺勤和全日缺勤之间的差异。出现了四个主题:;;;和。研究结果通过描述学校护士在识别有CA风险的学生中的作用,突出了学校护士的重要性,从而能够在CA模式成为习惯之前对学生进行有效的评估和干预。
