Theories, models and frameworks of school nursing - a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

School nursing is a complex clinical specialty practice that varies across different countries. Theories, models and frameworks can inform nursing practice. This scoping review aims to explore the conceptualisation and operationalisation of school nursing in theories, models and frameworks.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted according to the JBI Manual for evidence synthesis. To identify existing theories, models, frameworks and concepts of school nursing, we searched in the databases Medline/PsycInfo, CINAHL and ERIC from earliest date until 08 March 2024. There was no limitation regarding the study type, school settings and countries. For data analysis, theory and concept analysis was employed, supplemented by content analysis with additional type building.
