School nursing: health promotion for school children.

This article discusses the findings of a retrospective study looking at the outcomes, in terms of health promotion of health interviews with children aged ten to 11, between 1989 and 1991. A total of 59 children cared for by three school nurses were available for follow-up. It was found that overall, the health promotion given to children was effective in nearly three quarters of the children seen. Problems with feet were the most commonly reported complaint. The author suggests that other districts should consider introducing health interviews into school nurses' work.

Computerised school health profiles: implementing a new system.

This paper describes the sequence of events from the instigation of a project pilot study, through the implementation of a district school nursing profile, to the results of a project which sought standardised information from school nurses on the health profiles in their schools. The profile form, which was introduced in 1992 and has been in regular use since, has allowed managers to gain accurate, easily accessible information on individual school health profiles, and to amend and adjust the workloads of school nurses accordingly.
