School health aims to guide and manage growing students in order to grow healthily through the formation of healthy life habits, the self-control health management guide and the making of pleasant school health environments.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the concepts, to draw common features, and develop a new approach for school health diagnosis through literature review.
School health diagnosis is defined as the identification of actual and potential health problems in school health problems in population. It is a label that both describes a situation and implies an ethology.
Although it is widely acknowledeged that school health diagnosis is an essential precursor to school health nursing intervention, it still has ambiguous definition, unmeasurable goal, and a tenuous structure. In addition, the eclipse of school health diagnosis theory in the literature is so complete that some texts even exclude diagnosis as a stage of the nursing theory has not developed sufficiently to guide school nurses in the application of the nursing diagnosis with in the school.
The Neuman´s systems model provided the conceptual framework for this study and offered school health nursing the sort of clear structure that will assist them to clarify their work to nursing colleages and also to the client group with whom they will work.
The Neuman medel is fully congruent with today´s health care philosophy by taking a wellness-orientaed approach, involving clients in their health care with prevention as intervention.
