Student´s thoughts about the school nure´s role in school (English)
Abstract [sv]
Bakgrund: Skolsköterskan ingår i elevhälsoteamet vars uppdrag är att bevara och främja hälsa, förhindra ohälsa, tidigt upptäcka sjukdom och minska konsekvenser av skada eller sjukdom.
Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur elever ser på skolsköterskans roll i skolan.
Metod: En kvalitativ metod valdes för studien. Arton elever från högstadiet och gymnasiet svarade på mejlfrågor. Analysmetoden som valdes gav möjligheten att röra sig relativt fritt mellan olika analytiska begrepp. Resultatet presenteras i tre teman.
Resultat: Eleverna beskriver att de har tilltro till skolsköterskor. Eleverna törs prata om det mesta. De litar på att tystnadsplikten fungerar. Hur tillgänglig skolsköterskan är varierar mycket. Placeringen av skolsköterskans expedition har betydelse. Uteblivna skolsköterskebesök kan bero på att lärarna hindrar dem under lektionstid. Informanterna i den här studien är nöjda med informationen de fått kring vaccinationen och hantering runt den. De har fått med sig värdefulla tips vid hälsosamtalet.
Konklusion: Skolsköterskans roll är komplex. Arbetet innefattar allt från att vara trygghetsperson till rådgivare. Tillgängligheten har stor betydelse för hur en god relation kan byggas upp mellan skolsköterskan och eleverna.
Abstract [en]
Background: The school nurse is a part of the student health team with the mission to preserve and promote health, prevent illness, early detection of disease, and reduce the consequences of injury or illness.
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how students view the role of the school nurse in a school environment.
Method: The chosen research strategy is a qualitative method. A test group of 18 students between the ages of 15 and 18 answered questions by email. The analysis method that was selected allowed relatively free movement between different analytical concepts. The result is presented in three themes.
Results: The students in the test group describe confidence in school nurses. The students believe that they can speak freely with the nurse and trust in student/nurse confidentiality. The overall accessibility of the school nurse varies greatly between institutions. The placement of the school nurse’s office is of significance to the students. Two factors that prevent students from seeking help from the school nurse are when teachers do not allow the students to leave the classroom during lessons and during breaks when the line is long or she is not physically present. The test group is very satisfied with the information they received regarding the vaccination and the process around it. The also received information from a health talk that they found valuable.
Conclusion: The role of the school nurse is complex. It ranges from being a person the students can trust and talk to, to being an advisor. Accessibility is of great importance to allow a good relationship to be built between the school nurse and students.
