- Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate standardized job competencies of elementary school nurses in managing the health of students at risk for anaphylaxis (SRAs). A total of 166 elementary school nurses from across Korea participated in this study. The tool utilized was a list of standardized job tasks of elementary school nurses in managing SRAs' health. Seven factors were obtained from the factor analysis, with a cumulative variance explained of 68.6%. The importance–performance analysis method was employed to suggest priority areas for training. The factors placed in quadrant II included: (1) "offering psychological support", among elementary school nurses who have been provided with clinical information on anaphylaxis, (2) "providing emergency care", among those who have not been provided with clinical information on anaphylaxis, (3) the factors "utilizing individualized healthcare plans", "conducting health education and staff training", and "evaluating the student", among those who agreed that schools need legal protection to purchase epinephrine auto-injectors, and (4) the factor "preparing a school emergency system", among those with less than five years of experience as a school nurse. When planning continuing education strategies to improve elementary school nurses' management of SRAs, factors such as career experience, access to clinical information, and beliefs regarding legal protection for schools to purchase epinephrine auto-injectors should be considered.
