摘要

背景护士在澳大利亚每个州和地区的学校工作，但在公共话语中的知名度有限。对学校护理工作的认识和看法可以显著影响政策、资金和项目实施，但公众对澳大利亚学校护理工作的看法从未进行过调查。这项研究的目的是通过社交媒体平台Reddit上的一个帖子收集数据，调查公众对澳大利亚学校护士工作的看法。研究目标包括探索受访者的知识来源，对学校护士的存在和分布的看法，以及对角色的理解。方法采用Elo和Kyngäs内容分析法指导研究。数据是手动从Reddit帖子中提取的，去识别，并使用演绎和归纳内容分析进行分析。这条Reddit的帖子包含了来自69个不同受访者的79个帖子。研究发现，人们对澳大利亚学校护理工作的广度和深度知之甚少，“学校护士”的头衔正在被非护士所取代。迫切需要提高公众对澳大利亚学校护理工作的广度和范围的理解的策略。学校护理被认为是低价值的，这导致了它的低关注度。这种情况发生在一个教师报告因干预复杂的健康和社会问题而负担沉重的时代，而他们在教育上并没有做好准备。结论：澳大利亚的学校护理正经历着一场被忽视和误解的危机，这对护士、学生、学校员工和家庭都有重大影响。

‘Are you sure they’re a nurse?’: Public perceptions of Australian school nursing

Background

Nurses work in schools in every state and territory of Australia but have limited visibility in the public discourse. Knowledge and perceptions of school nursing work can significantly influence policy, funding, and program implementation, yet public perceptions of nursing work in Australian schools have never been investigated.

Aim

The aim of the study was to examine public perceptions of the work of nurses in Australian schools using data collected from a thread on the social media platform Reddit. Study objectives included exploring respondents’ source of knowledge, perceptions of the presence and distribution of school nurses, and understanding of the role.

Method

The study was guided by Elo and Kyngäs’ content analysis method. Data were manually extracted from a Reddit thread, de-identified, and analysed using deductive and inductive content analysis.

Findings

The Reddit thread contained 79 individual posts from 69 unique respondents. The study identified that the breadth and depth of nursing work in Australian schools was poorly understood, and the title of ‘school nurse’ is being co-opted by non-nurses.

Discussion

Strategies to improve public understanding of the breadth and scope of nursing work in Australian schools are urgently needed. School nursing is considered low value, contributing to its low regard. This is occurring in an era when teachers report significant burden from intervening in complex health and social issues for which they are not educationally prepared.

Conclusion

School nursing in Australia is experiencing a crisis of invisibility and misunderstanding with significant implications for nurses, students, school staff, and families.

期刊介绍： Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN). The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues. Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription. ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
