The purpose of this study is to understand how school nurses, often the first line of defense for menstruating adolescents, use communication to assist adolescents in destigmatizing menstruation.
I conducted semi-structured narrative interviews with nine nurses employed in a large school district in Northeast Indiana.
Interviews were coded, categorized, and used a phronetic iterative approach.
Analysis determines that nurses assist menstruating students using steps toward accepting menstruation and suggesting ways to avoid menstrual stigmatization.
This study suggests that school nurses use positive language to assist students in handling their menstruation problems, develop allyships with parents and other teachers, and stress menstrual education. This study highlights the need for more funding for menstrual products and additional school nurses.
本研究旨在了解学校护士(通常是青春期少女经期问题的第一道防线)如何通过沟通来帮助少女消除经期污名化。
我对印第安纳州东北部一个大型学区的 9 名护士进行了半结构化叙事访谈。
对访谈进行了编码、分类,并采用了实践迭代方法。
分析确定护士通过接受经期和避免经期污名化的步骤来帮助经期的学生。
本研究表明,学校护士使用积极的语言来帮助学生处理经期问题,与家长和其他教师建立盟友关系,并强调经期教育。本研究强调需要更多资金购买经期用品和增加学校护士数量。
