The purpose of this study was to determine how school nurses attempt to involve parents of seventh graders in school health programs, identify nurses' perceptions of barriers to parental involvement, and identify related staff development needs. A questionnaire was sent to the school nurse in each school in Indiana that had a seventh grade (n = 447); 279 questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 63%. Most respondents worked in situations without written policies for parental involvement. A minority of school nurses reported receiving input from parents through advisory committees or parent surveys. The most common involvement activities were related to providing parents with information about the school health program. Less than half of the respondents reported offering health education through activities such as parent health education classes, health fairs, health education resource centers, or health newsletters. Lack of time was identified as the major barrier faced by school nurses. Several staff development needs were identified.
本研究的目的是确定学校护士如何尝试让七年级学生的家长参与学校健康计划，识别护士对家长参与的障碍的看法，并确定相关的员工发展需求。向印第安纳州每所设有七年级的学校的学校护士发送了一份问卷（n = 447）；共收回279份问卷，回复率为63%。大多数受访者工作的环境没有关于家长参与的书面政策。少数学校护士报告称通过咨询委员会或家长调查获得家长的意见。最常见的参与活动是向家长提供有关学校健康计划的信息。不到一半的受访者报告通过家长健康教育课程、健康博览会、健康教育资源中心或健康通讯等活动提供健康教育。时间不足被确定为学校护士面临的主要障碍。还确定了一些员工发展需求。
