A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's framework to examine how school nurses contribute to fostering positive sexuality through sexual education in schools. Out of 406 unique articles screened, 17 met the inclusion criteria. The majority were from the USA and England. The findings highlight the significant contributions of school nurses in sexual education programs. However, it also indicates a need for broader representation, particularly from Nordic countries. A more diverse perspective could enrich understanding and practices in promoting sexual health among youth. The findings also emphasize the preference of youth for external, qualified educators such as school nurses to deliver sexual education. The study calls for more research to enhance sexual health promotion among youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":50058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10598405251337769"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144019959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With social determinants impacting student medical compliance, school nurses lack evidence-based interventions to reduce medical exclusion. This quality improvement project aims to reduce medical exclusion at the project site by 25% from the previous year by focusing on meeting the freshman physical examination requirement. A three-pronged PDSA cycle evaluates each program intervention [resource guides, phone calls, temporary health clinic] in reducing medical exclusion. After the distribution of two resource guides, 93 personalized phone calls were made to families with missing health documentation. On the first day of school, 28 freshmen remained out of medical compliance. The temporary on-site health clinic provided physical examinations to 13 of the 28 students. Through a systematic approach operationalizing community partnerships, school nurses can reduce barriers to achieving medical compliance and support student agencies in accessing healthcare.</p>","PeriodicalId":50058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10598405251333426"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
