Summary
South Korean school nurses perceive a significant gap between their current practices and the importance of school nursing services. Educational programs should prioritize enhancing skills in the nursing process, community collaboration, and understanding health legislation.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Nursing Education
- Health Services Research
Background:
- School nursing services are crucial for student well-being and academic success.
- Understanding the current practice landscape and perceived needs of school nurses is essential for effective service delivery.
- South Korea faces unique challenges in optimizing school health programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the discrepancy between perceived importance and current practices of school nursing services in South Korea.
- To determine educational priorities for South Korean school nurses to enhance their professional competencies.
- To inform the development of targeted educational interventions for school nurses.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional online survey was administered to 360 school nurses in South Korea.
- The Korean version of the Scope of School Nursing Practice Tool (K-SSNPT) was utilized.
- Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired t tests, and needs assessment models (Borich, Locus for Focus).
Main Results:
- A significant gap between perceived importance and current practice was found in 23 out of 24 K-SSNPT items.
- Top educational priorities included applying the nursing process (monitoring student health plans, data analysis) and community collaboration (staying current on legislation).
- The findings underscore a need for enhanced competencies in specific areas of school nursing practice.
Conclusions:
- Targeted educational programs are necessary to improve school nurses' skills in the nursing process and community engagement.
