School nurses are pivotal to the safety of school-aged children, particularly those who receive medications in the school setting. The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with medication administration errors in North Carolina school districts between 2012/2013 and 2017/2018. A longitudinal study using repeated measures analysis of school health services data collected in the North Carolina Annual School Health Services and Programs Survey was conducted. Over time, the number of medication errors (p = .001) and number of medication corrective action plans (p < .0001) trended upwards. There was also an increase in medication errors when the number of schools in a district was higher (p < .0001). Conversely, there was a decrease in corrective action plans when school nurses were directly employed by the school district (p = .0471). We implore school disticts to consider the important role of school nurses to keep kids safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
校医对学龄儿童的安全至关重要,尤其是那些在学校环境中接受药物治疗的儿童。本研究旨在探讨 2012/2013 年至 2017/2018 年期间北卡罗来纳州学区用药错误的相关因素。本研究对北卡罗来纳州年度学校卫生服务和项目调查中收集的学校卫生服务数据进行了纵向研究,采用了重复测量分析方法。随着时间的推移,用药错误的数量(p = .001)和用药纠正行动计划的数量(p p = .0471)。我们恳请各学区考虑校医的重要作用,让孩子们安全、健康地学习。

This study examined the relationships between current anxiety problems and school engagement, community service or volunteer work, and paid work among U.S. adolescents. The 2018-2019 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) dataset was analyzed and included 24,609 adolescents ages 12-17 years. We conducted unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyzes. A total of 12.6% of adolescents had healthcare provider-confirmed current anxiety problems. Adolescents with current anxiety were at decreased odds of engaging in school (aOR = 0.35, 95%CI = 0.29, 0.41) and participating in community service or volunteer work (aOR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.59, 0.86) compared to adolescents without current anxiety. Adolescents with current anxiety were at increased odds of participating in paid work (OR = 1.18, 95%CI = 1.01, 1.38). This study reports that U.S. adolescents with anxiety were less likely to engage in school and participate in community service or volunteer work, but were more likely to participate in paid work compared to their peers without anxiety. Results should inform future interventions targeting adolescents.

Utah implements an abstinence-based approach to sex education. However, research has found that abstinence-based sex education is associated with higher risk-taking behaviors, and youth would like more from their school-based sex education. This study examined what sex education information or programs young adults in Utah would have liked to receive during high school. Participants provided responses to a single open-ended question included in the Utah College Sexual Behavior Survey. The results of a thematic analysis show the emergence of four salient themes, including fundamental knowledge, contraception and sexually transmitted infection prevention, personal safety, consent, and abuse. Findings suggest that participants wanted sex education beyond just abstinence and stressed the importance of inclusive education. Recommendations for school nurses and the important role they play in delivering sex education include receiving education needed to teach sex education and working with school health educators to act as a resource.

School health services have been described as the "hidden healthcare" system because of their isolation within schools and from other healthcare providers. This isolation may inhibit innovations in school healthcare delivery. Hence, there is a need to identify and characterize various delivery models. This review examines models to identify innovative approaches and formulate suggestions for public health departments, local and state educational agencies, and policymakers. Toward this goal, published and gray literature were studied and synthesized, identifying three delivery models: the traditional model of school-based nursing and two alternative models: school-based health centers and community partnerships. Mechanisms of delivery included telehealth, mobile clinics, and system-level care. Although no innovative, comprehensive approaches to school health services models were found, innovation generally focused on improving equitable delivery to vulnerable populations. Policies must be formulated and funded to integrate such innovations into a comprehensive, preventative approach, including improved care coordination and data sharing.

School nurses play a significant role in the coordination of school-entry immunization requirements across the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the school landscape and introduced additional responsibilities to a school nurse's workload. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with n = 110 Pennsylvania school nurses to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on school-entry immunization compliance management. Qualitative and quantitative data indicated increased difficulty obtaining school-entry immunization data (n = 52) and reduced school-level enforcement of immunization compliance (n = 30). We also observed increases in the percentage of students enrolled with an immunization exemption in Kindergarten, 7th, and 12th grades between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years. However, few respondents (15%) offered school-located immunization clinics (SLIC) for school-entry-required immunizations. While the benefits of SLICs are documented, the capacity required to execute recommended actions may be limited among school nurses-particularly post-COVID-19 pandemic. School nurses may need additional support to address these gaps.
