Summary
This study synthesizes factors influencing school nurse workload beyond student numbers. It provides a foundation for developing better workload measurement tools for school nursing practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Public Health
Background:
- Current school nurse workload models often rely solely on student-to-nurse ratios.
- The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) has recommended developing more comprehensive workload measures.
- A workforce acuity task force (WATF) was formed to advance these recommendations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize and categorize factors affecting school nurse workload.
- To identify sources for collecting and retrieving workload-related data.
- To provide recommendations for developing school nurse workload measurement instruments.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of existing studies and practices.
- Categorization of identified workload factors.
- Delineation of data collection and retrieval sources.
Main Results:
- Identified and categorized key factors influencing school nurse workload.
- Outlined potential data sources for workload assessment.
- Established a basis for future instrument development.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive understanding of workload factors is crucial for accurate school nurse staffing.
- Further research and instrument development are needed to refine workload measurement.
- This synthesis supports evidence-based practice in school nursing management.
