Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa hos barn och unga har ökat under de senaste åren och behovet av att stödja elever som behöver särskilt stöd har ökat. Elever med autism löper större risk att drabbas av psykisk ohälsa, därför är det av stor vikt att skolsköterskan har kunskap i hur man bemöter dessa elever. Syfte: Att belysa faktorer som påverkar skolsköterskans stödjande till elever med autism. Metod: Som metod valdes systematisk litteraturöversikt. Resultat: Ur analysen framkom tre huvudteman. Dessa var Kompetensutveckling, relation och samarbete och hinder och möjligheter. Ur dessa huvudteman urskildes flera subteman som behov av kunskap, egna initiativ, relation till barn och familj, samarbete med andra professioner, behov av tid och behov av att skapa en lugn och trygg miljö. Konklusion: Behovet av kompetensutveckling i att arbeta med elever med autism är stort och det finns motivation och önskemål hos skolsköterskorna att utveckla sin kompetens i att arbeta med elever med autism.

Background: Mental illness in children and adolescents has increased in recent years and the need to support children, who are in need of special support, has increased. Pupils with autism are at greater risk of suffering from mental illness, therefore it is of great importance that the school nurse has the knowledge of how to encounter these pupils. Objective: To elucidate factors that influence the school nurse's supportive function for pupils with autism. Method: As a method, a systematic review of literature was chosen. Results: Three main themes emerged from the analysis. These were: development of competence, collaboration and communication, obstacles and opportunities. From these main themes, several sub-themes were identified such as the need for knowledge, own initiatives, relationships with children and their families, collaboration with other professions, need of time, and necessity to create a calm and safe environment. Conclusion: The need for development of competence in working with pupils with autism is great and there is motivation and desire among the school nurses to develop their competence in this field.
