  • Title: Health of the Nation targets: where school nurses find constraints on achievement.
    Author: Fagan R.
    Journal: Nurs Stand; ; 9(48):36-40. PubMed ID: 7662536.
    Abstract:
    A qualitative research methodology was used to investigate 73 school nurses' perceptions of their contributions towards Health of the Nation targets (1). The inquiry aimed to identify areas in which the school nurses felt that educational assistance was required. The study demonstrated that school nurses function well and have an enormous potential to affect positively the health of the nation's children. Four main areas of constraint, however, were identified by the nurses. These areas, pinpointed as the major obstacles for target achievement, are education, joint planning, resources and perceived value. The author highlights recommendations for the future role of the school nurse.
