Abstract

Aim To analyse the managerial function of school nurses in Spain. Method A cross-sectional descriptive study with a sample of 376 school nurses from non-university public, private, and charter educational centres, as well as special education centres nationwide. Data collection was conducted through a self-administered and anonymous questionnaire designed by experts in school nursing, carried out from March to June 2023 via an online platform. Results The managerial function of school nurses in Spain is evident in their interaction with both educational and healthcare domains. The results underscore the importance of intersectoral collaboration. 96.28% of nurses maintain clinical records. The integration of school nurses into primary care is significantly associated with the service that employs the nurse, contract type, contractual situation, type of educational centre, and membership in rural or socially transformative areas. Conclusions School nurses play a crucial role in promoting a healthy and safe educational environment. Clinical data recording is essential for monitoring and ensuring care quality. The data highlight the need to implement policies that provide legal assurance for the activities of school nurses and ensure safety for students and the entire educational community.
