Abstract
|
|
|
|
The health of children and adolescents pose multiple challenges for health professionals in these times of rapid socioeconomic, political, cultural, epidemiological and health system changes. The health promoting schools approach and accompanying national models, regional and global initiatives, provide a mechanism for integrating health promotion and core nursing functions into schools and communities, while preventing premature morbidity and mortality from chronic and debilitating conditions. Nurses, in collaboration with educators, other health professionals, students, parents, councils and community members, are core and instrumental means to generate and support change in school settings, aimed at creating environments supportive to health.
