School nurses play a critical role in promoting student health and supporting academic success. The goal of this project was to develop a school nurse self-assessment tool (SN-SAT) for school nurses to evaluate their school nursing practice. The self-assessment tool was constructed based on the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice. A panel of school nurse experts (n=5) was asked to rate the tool on two dimensions, Importance and Relevance, on a Likert Scale for the selected chronic health condition asthma. Content Validity Indexes for each item (I-CVI), and for the overall scale (S-CVI), were computed. The final SN-SAT consisted of 51 items that yielded overall S-CVI scores of 0.99 for both Importance and Relevance, respectively, after the second round of review. The self-assessment process will allow school nurses to enhance their quality of practice by identifying the gaps in practice, improving student health outcomes, and facilitating learning.
