学校是青少年心理健康服务 (MHS) 的主要提供者，但在让他们参与服务方面却遇到了困难。学校护士有能力促进 MHS 转诊。这项试点研究检验了参与协议 (EP) 的可行性、可接受性和初步功效，该协议旨在提高学校护士在将青少年转介给 MHS 时对基于证据的参与实践的利用。参与者是一个大型城市学区的六名学校护士和二十五名青少年。学校护士对 EP 持积极态度，表明他们认为这是可行且可以接受的。尽管学校护士对参与实践的使用以及青少年接受培训后对服务的准备程度略有增加，但由于样本量有限，差异并不具有统计显着性。尽管如此，试点结果表明，培训学校护士战略性地实施循证参与实践以提高青少年对 MHS 的参与具有初步效果。
Schools function as the major provider of mental health services (MHS) for youth, but can struggle with engaging them in services. School nurses are well-positioned to facilitate referrals for MHS. This pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an engagement protocol (EP) designed to enhance school nurses’ utilization of evidence-based engagement practices when referring youth to MHS. Participants were six school nurses and twenty-five adolescents in a large, urban school district. School nurses reported positive attitudes towards the EP, suggesting that they found it feasible and acceptable. Though there were small increases in school nurses’ use of engagement practices and in adolescents’ readiness for services following training, due to limited sample size, differences were not statistically significant. Still, pilot results suggest preliminary efficacy of training school nurses to strategically implement evidence-based engagement practices to increase adolescents’ engagement in MHS.
