Schools serve as pivotal platforms for implementing health initiatives and providing opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion. School nurses identify and address health risks, including chronic conditions, communicable diseases, substance abuse, and mental health concerns, and often act as knowledgeable authorities to access community resources. PHNs perform a vital role in communicating the health experiences of diverse and sometimes vulnerable individuals and families to health planners and policymakers. They also empower community members to articulate concerns and goals, promoting a collaborative approach to public health development. Collaboration between PHNs and school nurses enhances community health through joint efforts in screenings, health education, and community-wide interventions. However, barriers, such as isolated strategic planning, siloed funding, and inadequate information systems, hinder effective collaboration. The authors advocate for joint strategic planning, integrated funding, and interoperable health information systems that may now be fragmented to strengthen these partnerships in order to improve population health. Enhancing these collaborations is vital for creating supportive environments where students can thrive academically and health-wise, ensuring a sustainable impact on community health.</p>","PeriodicalId":54533,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142923693","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}
