Book excerpt: Children in low-income, urban communities face significant barriers to leading a healthy lifestyle. Public health issues, such as adverse childhood experiences, food insecurity, and a lack of mental health resources consistently place toxic stress on a growing child's mental and physical health. Making matters worse, these children and adolescents are less likely to make their pediatric primary care appointments through no fault of their own. A literature review revealed that school-based health centers provide an economically efficient model to delivering pediatric primary care. By eliminating common barriers to healthcare, like transportation issues and family work requirements, school-based health centers successfully combat public health issues and improve health outcomes, successfully establishing equity in delivering pediatric primary care.

Download or read book The Impact of School Based Health Centers on Improving Students Health Outcomes written by Georgia Jones and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that students living in poverty are not receiving the recommended health care needed to grow into healthy adults. School-based health centers (SBHC) have been found to fill this gap in health care, thereby improving poor students' health. Many schools, however, lack SBHCs and may even lack full time school nurses. The purpose of this project was to determine the impact of a school nurse-led educational training to classroom teachers regarding symptoms and management of diabetes on the rate of adverse diabetic incidents reported by students. A secondary purpose was to determine the impact of a nurse-led educational presentation on faculty and school administrators' knowledge regarding the benefits of school based health centers (SBHCs) with the goal of encouraging the establishment of SBHCs. The foundation for this study was grounded in Rosenstock's health belief model and Orem's self care theory. Among the four diabetic students in two classrooms, the number of reported diabetic incidents dropped from 1.9 per student per month to 1.1 per student per month, although this difference was not statistically significant. Faculty and administrators from two schools in a district serving low-SES students in Northeastern Louisiana attended a presentation on the benefits of SBHCs on student health and academics. Forty-three participants completed a questionnaire prior to the training and a week following the training. The training was found to significantly increase the intent to institute an SBHC and increase knowledge of the health and academic benefits of SBHCs. Nurses have a role to play in encouraging the establishment of SBHCs and, thereby, improving student health outcomes.

This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine school-based health clinics and the political considerations and strategies that can help them succeed!The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools reveals the history and political dynamics involved in building and sustaining an important innovation in the way health care services are delivered to America’s youth: the school-based health clinic. These clinics provide vital health services--including crucial yet controversial reproductive services--to youth. In addition to analyzing the nature and extent of the political barriers facing school-based clinics, this vital book describes the strategies that have proven most effective in overcoming them.This essential book begins with an overview of the existing literature on the history and provision of health care for youth. Then it presents the results of a study that utilized a two-pronged approach: a nationwide survey of clinic administrators (supplemented with aggregate data) and intensive case studies of five representative locales. By combining the quantitative data from the national survey with the more qualitative information gleaned from the case study field work, The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools can deliver broad yet accurate generalizations as well as detailed interpretation of the authors’findings.This informative and insightful volume explores: the ways that school-based health clinics (SBHCs) have evolved, confronted opposition, and grown day-to-day issues that SBHCs face, including inadequate funding, lack of parental involvement, unsupportive teachers and schools, staffing/training issues, cultural issues, and more sources of opposition to SBHCs, including fundamentalist Protestants, Black Evangelicals, Catholics, and conservative parent groups ways to establish successful school health care reforms issues and recommendations for SBHCs in the future To date, there have been very few empirical studies of the politics of school health or of the provision of sexuality-related health services for youth. The greatest depth and breadth of information you can find on the subject is here, in The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools.
