Despite rising prevalence of high blood pressure among youth, literature on school nurses' practices related to youth blood pressure is limited. We aimed to describe school nurses' current practices related to blood pressure screening and identification and monitoring of high blood pressures. We conducted a web-based national survey of currently practicing school nurses and received 195 responses across 37 states. All participants reported having a blood pressure cuff, nearly all (98%) reported confidence measuring children's blood pressure, and 82% reported interest in doing more to support children's cardiovascular health. Blood pressure measurement by school nurses was common (73% reported "sometimes" or "often" and 25% reported "seldomly"). However, only 32% stated hypertension impacts their students and only 19% endorsed having enough time to complete all their necessary tasks. In describing school nurse's current practices related to youth blood pressure, we highlight opportunities for expanding this role and considerations for doing so.
尽管青少年高血压的患病率不断上升，但关于学校护士与青少年血压相关实践的文献却很有限。我们旨在描述学校护士目前在血压筛查、高血压识别和监测方面的实践情况。我们对目前在职的学校护士进行了一项基于网络的全国性调查，共收到来自37个州的195份回复。所有参与者都报告有血压计，几乎所有（98%）的人报告有信心测量儿童血压，82%的人表示有兴趣为支持儿童心血管健康做更多工作。学校护士进行血压测量很常见（73%报告“有时”或“经常”，25%报告“很少”）。然而，只有32%的人表示高血压会影响他们的学生，只有19%的人认可有足够的时间完成所有必要任务。在描述学校护士目前与青少年血压相关的实践时，我们强调了扩大这一角色的机会以及这样做的考虑因素。
