Abstract

Background

Chronic school absenteeism (CA) in the United States affects approximately 6.5 million children annually. There are lifelong negative consequences of CA, ultimately leading to nearly a decade loss of life expectancy for individuals who do not graduate from high school.

Purpose

To assess the relationship between social determinants of health and school nurse (SN) presence on CA among public school children in New Jersey.

Methods

A retrospective study using publicly available state data during the 2016 to 2017, 2017 to 2018, and 2018 to 2019 school years.

Findings

Results demonstrated multiple statistically significant relationships. Most importantly, the relationship between SN presence and chronic absenteeism rates disproportionately affected Black students, economically disadvantaged students, and students in foster care.

Discussion

Given the significant long-term impact of chronic absenteeism, the significant role of the SN should be considered. Our study demonstrated highly significant effects of SN presence on chronic absenteeism.

健康社会决定因素与学校护士存在对慢性缺勤的关系

背景：在美国，每年大约有650万儿童受到慢性旷课（CA）的影响。CA有终生的负面影响，最终导致没有从高中毕业的人的预期寿命减少近十年。目的探讨新泽西州公立学校儿童CA中健康社会决定因素与学校护士存在的关系。方法采用2016 - 2017学年、2017 - 2018学年和2018 - 2019学年公开的州数据进行回顾性研究。结果显示了多个统计上显著的关系。最重要的是，黑人学生、经济困难学生和寄养学生的长期缺勤率与SN存在的关系不成比例。鉴于慢性缺勤的重大长期影响，应考虑到SN的重要作用。我们的研究表明，SN的存在对慢性缺勤有非常显著的影响。
