Objectives: to describe the process of construction and validity of a School Nursing Guide for student health promotion. Methods: a methodological study, carried out from February to December 2021, composed of Convergent Care Research based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model. Based on the literature and dialogue with 11 nurses in the seven online focus groups, actions were constructed. Subsequently, 24 judges assessed content and appearance. Results: the guide proposes strategies for developing school nursing practices focusing on health promotion. The Appearance Validity Index ranged from 0.63 to 1.0, and the total was 0.84. The Content Validity Index ranged from 0.95 to 1.0, and the total was 0.997. Conclusions: the guide incorporated the needs of young people recognized by professionals, and the assessment phase confirms its validity, and can be used in the context of practice with young people.

“…Schools, districts, and communities must collaborate with each other to develop evidence-based policies and practices that address student mental health needs across the spectrum of prevention (i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary). School nurses are vital along this spectrum of prevention, given their knowledge and access to students, families, and community stakeholders as well as their trusted status (Maughan & Jameson, 2020).…”

School nurses are crucial to addressing adolescent mental health, yet evidence concerning their evolving role has not been synthesized to understand interventions across levels of practice (i.e., individual, community, systems). We conducted an integrative review of school nurse roles in mental health in the U.S. related to depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress. Only 18 articles were identified, published from 1970 to 2019, and primarily described school nurses practicing interventions at the individual level, yet it was unclear whether they were always evidence-based. Although mental health concerns have increased over the years, the dearth of rigorous studies made it difficult to determine the impact of school nurse interventions on student mental health outcomes and school nurses continue to feel unprepared and under supported in this area. More research is needed to establish best practices and systems to support school nursing practice in addressing mental health at all levels of practice.

“…The availability of nurses in schools is crucial to ensure the health and well-being of students. Globally, the role of the school nurse (SN) is well-established and is a fundamental component in schools (1)(2)(3), they share the common denominator of operating within the educational, highlighting their versatile role in planning, executing, and evaluating health education activities(4-6), and emphasizing their capacity to promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of students, as well as their positive in uence on the school (7)(8)(9)(10). In the context of health education, the implementation and evaluation of programs with speci c indicators in schools is fundamental to promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing illnesses among students.…”

Background: School nursing in Spain faces crucial challenges that require immediate attention. This is the first national study developed by the School Nursing Observatory Research Group of the General Council of Nursing (GCN) in Spain on the school nurse (SN) professional profile and their availability at schools. The objective is to understand the social-labor situation, as well as the availability, perceived need, and satisfaction of the school community with the SN, as well as the factors related to these variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study using three ad hoc designed and validated questionnaires through a digital platform. Participants included 376 SNs, 1193 teachers and school principals, and 582 mothers, fathers, and representatives of parents’ associations (PAs). Descriptive and bivariate statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS v.28. Results: Most SNs work in a single school in exclusive, mainly employed by the education department or privately funded special education schools, in urban areas and schools with a high number of students. Both school staff and PAs perceive a high need of and satisfaction with SNs. According to school staff, SNs are more in private and subsidized schools and, according to PAs, in schools where a child has a disease. In schools where there are children with certain diseases, according to PAs, a greater need for a SN was perceived. And the schools staff also found SNs especially necessary in schools located in disadvantage areas. Conclusions: Despite the high degree of satisfaction with the SN, there are significant deficiencies in its distribution in Spain that prevent reaching international quality standards. It is necessary to increase the availability of this professional, especially under exclusivity, with special attention to rural, publicly funded, and disadvantage areas. This would help address inequities in school health and meet the perceived need of the school community, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
