“…Like previous literature review findings (Lineberry & Ickes, 2015; McClanahan & Weismuller, 2015; Stock et al, 2002), most of the studies examined in this review used descriptive designs, which highlights the need for school nurse studies with more robust research methods and rigorous designs (e.g., quasi-experimental and experimental). School nurses and nurse researchers also need to contribute to the development of standardized definitions and tools to measure school nurse interventions, activities, and student health and education outcomes (Cowell, 2015; McClanhan & Weismuller, 2015). With the paucity of QI studies in the literature, future research will need to include components of the QI principle.…”

School nurses intervene with students, parents, and school staff to advance the health and academic success of students. We conducted an integrative literature review of published research to describe the types of school nurse interventions and health and education outcome measures and to examine how school nurse interventions were linked to student outcomes. Sixty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. We used the National Association of School Nurses' Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice to categorize school nurse interventions and health and education outcome measures. The majority of interventions were categorized under the care coordination principle, most commonly, motivational interviewing and counseling. In 17 studies, school nurse interventions were linked to improved student outcomes. Most studies (80%) were descriptive. To advance school nursing science, researchers can build on this foundation with more rigorous research methods to evaluate the impact of school nurse interventions and activities on student health and education outcomes.

“…School nursing supervisors should use the framework for annual performance appraisals and for recruitment, development of job descriptions, and interviewing of potential school nurse and administrative hires. The framework also provides focus for evidence-based practice projects and research (Cowell, 2015).…”

The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) developed the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice to reflect current school nurse practice. The Framework of practice was introduced in June 2015, and feedback was requested and obtained from practicing school nurses in a variety of ways. The final version of the Framework is introduced in this article. This article updates (and replaces) the articles in the July 2015 NASN School Nurse related to the Framework. Central to the Framework is student-centered nursing care that occurs within the context of the students' family and school community. Surrounding the student, family, and school community are the nonhierarchical, overlapping key principles of Care Coordination, Leadership, Quality Improvement, and Community/Public Health.These principles are surrounded by the fifth principle, Standards of Practice, which is foundational for evidence-based and clinically competent quality care. Each of these principles is further defined by practice components. Suggestions are provided regarding how the Framework can be used in a variety of settings to articulate and prioritize school nursing practice. The ultimate goal is to provide a resource to guide school nurses in their practice to help students be healthy, safe, and ready to learn.

“…he professional practice of school nursing and the role of school nurses has been enhanced over the past few years with the development of a Framework for Practice (Cowell, 2015;NASN, 2016b), the identification of school nursing sensitive indicators (Gapinski & Sheetz, 2014;Malone & Bergren, 2010), and the publication of growing numbers of research studies and practice-focused articles providing evidence of best practices in the Journal of School Nursing and NASN School Nurse. These indices are hallmarks of the enhanced professional role and practice of school nursing that were developed in collaborative partnerships by "town and gown" teams of practicing school nurses, university faculty, community stakeholders, and other experts.…”
