Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to map the different comprehensive and coordinated school health program (CCSHP) components and topics of published school health research in the Philippines in order to identify gaps and areas with sufficient depth for future research direction.
Methods: Databases (PubMed and Herdin), and website (https://ejournals.ph) were searched for published studies on school health in context of Philippine school. Identified records were deduplicated, screened, and assessed for eligibility for inclusion. Information on the characteristics of the published studies were extracted and were presented as frequency and percentages. CCSHP components and topics were mapped in a tree map.
Results: Two hundred sixteen (216) studies were included for characterization and mapping. The two most common school health component studied was counselling, psychological and social services, and health services, with the corresponding topics mental health and soil-transmitted helminthiasis. There were gaps on the topic delivery of services, and school-home-community coordination.
Conclusion: There is an abundance of researches about mental health in Philippine school setting. On the other hand, there is paucity of researches in delivery of health services and school-home-community coordination. Mental health, including suicide and bullying, warrants a systematic review to provide evidences for policy creation. Further studies are needed regarding delivery of services, and school-home-community coordination.
