“…Notably, between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years, an evident increase in nurses with training in nursing/ school health was observed, which may be related to the variety of events can take place, and nurses must be well trained to respond to them, which explains the high percentage of nurses with one or more postgraduate degrees. This finding is consistent with the literature, which proposes that despite the difficulties of finding specific training in school nursing, school nurses should have extensive training and knowledge of evidence-based practice to expand their knowledge and experience and thus reinforce their autonomy (Ilgaz, 2022;Maughan et al, 2016;Yonkaitis, 2018).…”

This study aimed to describe the profile and practices of school nurses working at a network of educational centers in Spain. This was a descriptive study of the documented actions of 107 school nurses between September 2018 and June 2021 in 54 educational centers (55.6% private and 44.4% subsidized). The profile of the school nurses was young (average age 33.8 [standard deviation (SD) = 7.7] years) and predominantly female (91.6%) with a diverse and multidisciplinary education, primarily at the postgraduate level (specialized mainly in emergency care, nursing/school health, and pediatrics/neonatology). They carried out 256,499 interventions. The most frequent types of incidents they treated were accidents (30.4%) and disease-related episodes (22.2%). The interventions were usually brief (average time 7.7 min) and were resolved by the school nurse (99.1%), and the main recipients were students (87.3%). The highest incidence of interventions occurs during breaks between classes. Acute interventions occupied most of the school nurses’ time, leaving little opportunity for health education (0.3%). School nurses played an important role in preserving and promoting the health of school populations and cost-savings to healthcare systems with the actions that they performed. Descriptions of these actions are essential when advocating for the continuation and expansion of school nursing services.

“…The knowledge, behavior, and health status of students improve after school nursing interventions. These professionals not only protect and improve the health of children (Ilgaz, 2022;Maughan et al, 2016), but they also help to decrease the school absenteeism and improve academic achievement.…”

“…The Omaha System has been used in a variety of medical fields, such as ageing health (ilgaz & gözüm, 2021), school health (Ilgaz, 2022), occupational health (Kesgin & Kublay, 2014), and clinical care (Ornek & Ardic, 2019), and in education and research (Erdogan et al, 2013). The results showed that the system was very successful in detecting the health problems of individuals and families, as well as society-based problems.…”

“…The reasons that children work differ. However, poverty, migration, and lack of schooling opportunities are reported as the most common reasons for non-schooling (International Labour Organization, 2018, 2022UNICEF, 2021a). Recent studies have shown that economic contribution to family is a common reason that children work (Enebe et al, 2021;Turkisch Statistical Institute, 2021).…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, İstanbul'un kenar mahallelerinde bulunan ortaokullarda öğrenim gören göçmen ve göçmen olmayan çocuk işçilerin sağlık sorunlarının Omaha sistemiyle değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve gözlemsel çalışma olarak planlanan bu çalışma kapsamına İstanbul'da yaşayan çocuk işçiler alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Değerlendirme Formu ve Omaha Sistemi terminolojisine dayalı Nightingale Notes yazılımı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcılar; 10-13 yaş arası 81 çocuk işçiden oluşmaktaydı. Çocuk işçilerin %86'sı erkek ve %12'si Suriye'den göç etmişti. Çocukların %85’i ailelerinin gelirine katkıda bulunmak için çalıştığını ifade etti. Çocuklarda en sık görülen sağlık sorunları ruh sağlığı, ihmal, düşük gelir, ağız sağlığı, beslenme, kişisel bakım, fiziksel aktivite, uyku ve dinlenme düzeni ve mahalle/iş yeri güvenliği gibi sorunlardı. İstatsitiksel değerlendirmede, ruh sağlığı sorunları ile aile sağlığı arasında; bireysel sağlık durumu ile ağız sağlığı ve rol değişikliği arasında; anne eğitim düzeyi ile ağız sağlığı ve kişisel bakım arasında; ve beslenme ile baba eğitim düzeyi arasında ilişki bulundu. Sonuç: Göçmen ve göçmen olmayan çocuk işçilerin sağlık sorunlarının belirlenmesinde Omaha Sistemi’nin uygun olduğu bulundu. Ancak bu kesimin sağlık sorunlarının çözümü için yoksulluğun ve çocuk işçiliğinin önlenmesi ve hukuk normlarına uyulması önerilmektedir. Ayrıca geniş örneklem gruplarında, uzun süreli ve karma yöntemli gözlemsel çalışmalarla çocuk işçilerin sağlığının incelenmesi önerilebilir.

“…According to previous research, the presence of an on‐site school nurse could improve various aspects related to school children, such as health status, academic performance, vaccine compliance, management of chronic conditions, and retaining students in school (Maughan et al, 2018; Turner & Mackay, 2015). Additionally, experts agreed that school nurse intervention contributed significantly in health screening (Ilgaz, 2022) and education (Lee, 2011), improved non‐communicable diseases (Stefanowicz & Stefanowicz, 2018), supported mental health care (Bohnenkamp et al, 2015), vigorously prevented and controlled the spread of communicable diseases. Thus, this study aimed to explore the nutritional status and prevalence of helminthic infections with related health behavior, awareness, and knowledge regarding malnutrition and helminthic infections which were evaluated by school nurses among primary school children in Bangladesh.…”

AimMalnutrition and infectious diseases, such as helminthic infections, are widespread among primary school children, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. However, there are limited studies on school health in Bangladesh, particularly in rural settings. This study aimed to explore the nutritional status and prevalence of helminthic infections in relation to associated health behavior, awareness, and knowledge regarding malnutrition and helminthic infections which were evaluated by school nurses among primary school children in Bangladesh.MethodsThis was a descriptive, cross‐sectional survey study with a total duration of 1 month, from September to October, 2021. This study formed part of a school nurse project as a cluster non‐randomized clinical trial in Bangladesh. Selected variables from that clinical trial were analyzed and reported in the results section. The study participants were primary school children from four schools in rural Bangladesh.ResultsIn total, 604 children participated in the baseline survey and health checkups. Among them, 163 (27.0%) children were classified as malnourished according to the World Health Organization growth reference standard 2007. The prevalence of helminthic infections was 53 (8.8%). Approximately >50% of the children responded that they never/rarely practiced hygiene‐related behaviors and had no awareness and knowledge regarding malnutrition and helminthic infections. However, differences between the variables were not statistically significant.ConclusionChildren's nutritional status and prevalence of helminthic infections with related deprived health behaviors, and minimal awareness and knowledge, reinforce the importance of implementing educational interventions in the future.
