There is no doubt that an active intervention by school nurses for the ones who are in possible high risk of health issues in elementary school is the most effective way of school health promotion. With the design of longitudinal studies, this study is based on a collective data from the school health data system of the 104 elementary school students who entered school in the year of 91 in southern Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to discuss about school injury and illness rates and their relationships between family conditions, individual characteristics, and school achievements. There are three study hypotheses which include, first, single parent families and new immigrants have a higher school injury and illness rate compare to the families with parents. Second, the students with particular illnesses will perform a noticeable rate on injury and illness than general students. Last, the ones with lower school achievements will be resulted negatively compare to the ones with better school achievements. By using percentage rate, average rate, standard deviation to describe the basic data of the participants, then the t-test and the multiple linear regression were used to examine the hypothesis. The total result of school injury and illness rate for six-year period is 15.0±13.2 (time/person). On the other hand, grade six students has the highest injury rate of 2.9±2.5(time/person/year; t/p/y) and illness rate of 0.8±1.4(t/p/y) with first grade ended the second highest on injury and illness rates among all other grades. The injury rate increases along with the grades, but the illness rate resulted on the contrary. In the comparison of the variables, Single family or the ones with bad performance on Chinese language or math have a significantly higher injury and illness rate. The predictors of student injury and illness rates include single parent, new immigrants, and bad performance on Chinese language or math achievements with an explaining variation of 32.5% to 63.0%. The value of this study will help school nurse to provide a better school health management strategy for different grades, family conditions, diseases, injuries, and illnesses in order to promote elementary school students' health issues at school. |
