| Summary: | Objective: Healthcare professionals use the Omaha System to diagnose problems in healthy and sick people, identify interventions, and evaluate their outcomes. The main aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of combining the Omaha System-Based Electronic Health Record Program and School Health Nursing Practices in managing acute health issues.Methods: The data for this study was collected using a retrospective-descriptive approach, using the Nightingale Notes Champ Software and the health infirmary notebook.Results: The mean age of the participants was 10.30 ± 1.57, with 56.1% being female students. A total of 17 problems were identified and diagnosed 1230 times among the students who visited the health infirmary during the study period. The issues were in the “Physiological” domain 88.9%, Psychosocial” 7%, and “Health Behaviors” 4.1%. The most commonly identified health issues were related to “Skin” 24.2%, “Pain” 20.7%, “Digestive-Hydration” 10.7%, “Circulation” 8.1%, “Oral Health” 7.0%, “Neuromuscular Function” 6.1%, “Mental Health” 5.1%. The Intervention Scheme for the seven most frequent health problems included 17 targets and 1007 nursing interventions, with the Surveillance category being the most commonly used intervention.Conclusion: The Omaha system has significantly contributed to decision-making based on retrospective data by making intervention processes more systematic in acute health practice in the school environment. As an evidence-based method, the Omaha system supports improving quality and professionalism in school nursing. |
