Title

Childhood Obesity Prevention: A Review Of School Nurse Perceptions And Practices

Keywords

Childhood obesity; Perception; Practice; Review; School nursing

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to examine key school nurse perceptions that may promote or deter school nurse involvement in childhood obesity prevention (COP) practices. Conclusions: Ten research articles were identified through a systematic review of the literature. School nurse participation in COP is inconsistent, and this variation is not well understood. Some variations in COP practices may be explained by differences in self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Practice Implications: Efforts are needed to develop and implement interventions and policies to modify those perceptions that may promote school nurse active engagement in COP practices. © 2014, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
