Iris Publishers-Open access Journals in Nursing & Care | Integrative Review of Intervention Programmes for
School Health Nurses on Their Activities in School
Environment (1)
Authored by Oluwatoyin A Ogunyewo
Aim: This paper reviews descriptive and quasi-experimental
studies on the intervention programme developed for school
health nurses in order to assist them in different activities which they
perform in the school environment. The review was as a result
of the need to conduct an integrative review of intervention programmes
developed for school health nurses on guiding adolescents
about their reproductive health. However, there is a dearth of studies
on this particular area, and this prompted the authors to
expand the scope to cover the intervention programme developed for
school health nurses in other areas of concern.
Methods: Two review questions were raised which prompted the search for articles to provide necessary answers. Computerized database, ancestry and extensive search strategies by titles of research reported in English between 2000 and 2015 located diverse intervention programmes. A total of 1980 articles were retrieved from which 11 were reviewed after series of filtering based on titles, abstracts, full texts, and duplicates had taken place. A broad range of intervention programmes were reported.
Results: The most common intervention programme is training programme which is six in number, followed by education and mentoring programmes which are two each while the number of orientation programme is one. The aims of almost all these programmes was to enhance the knowledge and skills of school health nurses in their areas of practice. Common methodological weakness was small sample.
Conclusion: Integrative review reveals that school health nurses are subject mainly to a training programme in order to enhance their performance in their roles and responsibilities toward adolescents in the secondary school environment.
