  • Title: The Mismatch Between Children's Health Needs and School Resources.
    Author: Knauer H, Baker DL, Hebbeler K, Davis-Alldritt L.
    Journal: J Sch Nurs; 2015 Oct; 31(5):326-33. PubMed ID: 25869812.
    Abstract:
    There are increasing numbers of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) who require various levels of care each school day. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of public schools in supporting CSHCN through in-depth key informant interviews. For this qualitative study, the authors interviewed 17 key informants to identify key themes, provide recommendations, and generate hypotheses for further statewide survey of school nurse services. Key informants identified successful strategies and challenges that public schools face in meeting the needs of all CSHCN. Although schools are well intentioned, there is wide variation in the ability of schools to meet the needs of CSHCN. Increased funding, monitoring of school health services, integration of services, and interagency collaboration are strategies that could improve the delivery of health services to CSHCN in schools.
