National survey to identify the nursing interventions used in school settings.
A national survey of members of the National Association of School Nurses was conducted to identify interventions from the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) that are used by school nurses. Usable responses were returned from 522 school nurses. The findings were that 163 interventions were used, on the average, from every day to once a year, and all but three interventions were used by one or more respondents. Certain interventions were significantly associated with special education or grade level of children served by nurses. It is concluded that the NIC is a useful tool to standardize documentation for school nursing.
