INTRODUCTION

School plays a central role in children and young people’s lives. In addition to promoting education, it is also responsible for promoting health and well-being, as students spend a large part of their time in the school environment(14). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) defines children and youth with special health care needs (CSHCN) as those who have, or are at risk of developing chronic conditions that require health care and specialized services(5). These children face disadvantages in the school environment, with a higher risk of exclusion from educational and social activities, which can negatively impact their academic performance(69). The integration of health and education is therefore essential to create a universal health cycle, ensuring access to inclusive and quality education for all children, regardless of their health conditions(10,11).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), school health services are provided by health professionals within schools or in collaboration with external services(4). Although the composition of school health teams is not widely detailed in the literature, it typically includes nurses, doctors, and psychologists(3,4,12). In particular, school nurses, who require specialized training and continuous professional development, play an essential role in daily support for students’ health needs(2,3,13).

Digital transformation has been a crucial ally in this process, facilitating access to health information and training, and exploring new tools that make education more inclusive and adapted to the digital age(14,15). The COVID-19 pandemic further reinforced this importance, accelerating the incorporation of technologies to promote learning(15,16).

Most interventions considered essential in school health services concern health promotion and health education, compared to those related to the inclusion of CSHCN(17). In addition, one of the most frequently reported challenges for school health services is the lack of training and continuing professional development opportunities(4).

Training programs are structured sets of interrelated activities designed to develop knowledge, attitudes, and skills in specific areas(18). These programs include educational interventions, in this case mediated by technologies, that foster learning and capacity building, enhancing participants’ performance and competencies.

In this study, the term technology refers to educational technology as the application of technological tools and resources to improve teaching and learning. It encompasses the use of various digital tools, software and devices to improve educational outcomes and experiences(19).

The literature is scattered in relation to the pedagogical process and the conceptual framework of training, specifically regarding technology-mediated training. The main characteristics of these programs and the link between learning outcomes and the assessment tools used are also not well characterized.

This scoping review aimed to map technology-mediated training programs for school health teams, focusing on special health care needs in the school setting. The specific review questions were: What pedagogical models, theories, or conceptual principles have been used to design these training programs? Do these training programs address specific health conditions? What is the organization of the training process (learning objectives, program, timetable, modality, type of technology, and participants) and the teaching and learning strategies? What learning outcomes were assessed, and what instruments were used to assess the desired learning objectives?

The specific reason for choosing a scoping review is because it aims to map the existing evidence underlying a research area, identify gaps in the existing evidence, and build a precursor exercise that justifies and informs the conduct of a systematic literature review(20).

METHOD

A search conducted on September 13, 2021, in MEDLINE (PubMed) and the JBI Evidence Synthesis, revealed that no literature review is available or being developed on technology-mediated training programs for school health teams focused on special health needs. Thus, opportunities for technology-mediated training for school health teams should be identified for them to develop skills in their practice and find gaps for future research in the field of school nursing.

Design of Study

We followed the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, and the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist(21,22) associated with the PRISMA 2020 Flowchart(23). The quality of the studies was not particularly assessed as this is a scoping review. The review protocol was carried out and registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF) with the review title and DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/53Z89.

Data Sources and Research Strategy

The review question was formulated according to the PCC framework, with Population (P) being school health teams, Concept (C) focusing on technology-mediated training programs addressing special health care needs, and Context (C) encompassing any location where training can take place. The types of evidence sources included primary studies utilizing qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods, as well as systematic reviews. The review was restricted to studies published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish from 2000.

The review included studies involving healthcare professionals from school health teams, particularly those qualified in health promotion and supporting CSHCN. It also included technology-mediated training programs aimed at enhancing the skills of school health teams in managing CSHCN and chronic health conditions, namely educational interventions, such as sessions, seminars, lectures, and continuous professional development, specifically designed for healthcare professionals in the school context. The context included any training environment, and the selected chronological period reflects the technological advancements of the early 21st century, highlighting the evolution of technology in education and training. Studies targeting non-healthcare professionals, such as teachers, and studies lacking clear identification of training programs were excluded.

A three-step search strategy was used. First, an initial search on MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO) using general keywords, such as “School Health” AND technolog* AND (lifelong or Continuing) were conducted. The results of this initial search were analyzed to identify other keywords and index terms to be used in final search strategy. These terms were organized in a logic grid that was the basis to conduct the second phase of the search. In the second phase, five databases were searched: MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), SCOPUS, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection (via EBSCO) and LILACS, applying the keywords and indexed terms identified previously and adapted for each database included.

The search of grey literature was conducted in the Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal [Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal] (RCAAP), Catálogo de Teses & Dissertações [Theses and Dissertation Catalog] (CAPES), and Mednar. Additionally, three official and governmental websites dealing with the topic, specifically the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - Health School, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN), and the New Zealand School Nurses (NZ+SN) were searched. In the third phase, the reference list of the selected studies for additional studies was searched, as well as the gray literature. The full search strategy for each database and sources of grey literature is detailed in Chart 1.

Duplicates were eliminated using the software Mendeley Reference Manager. The software Rayyan Qatar Computing Research Institute (Rayyan QCRI) was used to assist in archiving, organizing, and selecting the articles for title and abstract.

Study Selection and Data Extraction

The study selection process was conducted independently in two stages by two reviewers, with a third reviewer resolving conflicts. The first stage involved reviewing titles and abstracts to exclude articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria. If the eligibility of a study was unclear, it was still advanced to the second stage for further evaluation. In this second stage, all eligible studies were retrieved in full, thoroughly read, and analyzed. Data were independently extracted by two reviewers. In case of disagreement, a third reviewer intervened. Extracted data included details about the authors, year, country, study type, and sample characteristics, data on training programs, including covering participants (number and type), conceptual and pedagogical framework, objectives, curriculum, schedule, modality, technologies used, teaching strategies, and assessment. Data were organized in a table developed by the authors. The data extraction form was pre-tested, and inconsistencies were discussed with senior researchers to reach a consensus.

Ethical Aspects

No ethical review was required since the study used publicly available secondary data, and all copyright regulations for the cited research were observed.

RESULTS

From a total of 1,106 potentially relevant articles initially identified, 111 duplicates, as well as 966 articles in the title and abstract screening, and 21 in the full-text review were excluded. Eight articles met the established inclusion criteria and were selected for data extraction. Figure 1 illustrates the study selection process, with documented reasons for exclusions.

The findings of the review were synthesized narratively. The main characteristics of the studies are summarized in Chart 2, followed by an analysis that describes the relationship between these characteristics and the objectives and questions of the review. The categories and characteristics analyzed include: the characterization of the studies and the conceptual framework of the training programs; the organization of the training process (objectives, program, schedule, modality, and technology used); the teaching and learning strategies; and the evaluation methods.

Detailed descriptive characteristics of the included studies (n = 8) – Lisboa, Portugal, 2023.

The studies reviewed span from 2008 to 2021, with most conducted post-2016 (n = 5) and all in the United States of America (USA). Most applied a quantitative approach (n = 6) for evaluating the effectiveness of the training programs(24,28,30,36,38,40) while one used a mixed-methods approach(32). Being a program from the American Diabetes Association website, the article does not specify the study type(43).

Seven training programs addressed chronic health conditions. Four focused on diabetes(24,38,40,43), two on asthma(30,32) , one covered various chronic conditions, and one, emergency preparedness(28,36). All studies were centered on school health nurses and adhered to theoretical-methodological frameworks, including clinical practice guides(24,30,32,38,40,43), theoretical references from nursing and other disciplines(24,28,32,36,40), and innovative educational models using technology(24,38).

The overall objectives of collected studies focused mostly on evaluating effectiveness and developing technology-supported training(24,28,30,32,38,40). Specific objectives targeted diabetes management(24,38,40), asthma management(32) and other chronic conditions(36), while some studies lacked explicit objectives(28,30,43).

The program structure included topics such as diabetes control(24,38,40,43), emergency procedures(28), asthma control (30,32), and procedures for chronic conditions(36). Programs were categorized into e-learning and blended learning formats, with most of them being delivered asynchronously(24,30,38,43), with synchronous sessions offered via videoconferencing(28,30,40). All of them were organized into thematic modules with varying durations. Predominantly, short training activities were identified, such as one day of in-service training, sessions lasting two to ten hours, and four weekly sessions of one hour each(28,30,32,40). Learning took place over an eight-month period within a single program(36). One study did not specify the time required to complete the activities but recommended completion during the summer(38). The ADA website’s content was accessible unlimited number of times, allowing learners to set their own learning pace.

Educational strategies relied on technology, such as learning management systems(24,30,32), personalized email resources(38), and collaborative online tools(24). Case-based learning was emphasized through both asynchronous and synchronous sessions(40). Audiovisual scenarios and immediate feedback were utilized to enhance learning experiences(28). ADA’s website offered a range of resources, including virtual workshops, case studies, and competency checklists for school nurses(43).

Blended learning formats combined online modules with face-to-face problem-based workshops(32). Innovative strategies, such as skills labs and computer-based documentation training were also used(36). Two studies controlled the number of participants to ensure quality(24,40).

The evaluation focused on self-efficacy, confidence, knowledge acquisition, and skills development(24,28,30,32,36,38,40). Program quality was assessed in three studies(24,36,40), with summative assessments often applied. One study highlighted formative assessments(24). Various evaluation tools were employed, such as Likert scales, true-false questions, and visual analog scales. Summative assessments included filmed simulated scenarios and case management (28,36).

DISCUSSION

This study showed essential elements of technology-mediated training programs for school health professionals. The objectives and research questions are highlighted here. Although our research was global and covered three languages, all studies identified were conducted in the USA and focused on school nurses. This is likely related to the distinct role these professionals play in the American context. In the USA, school nurses are essential for promoting student health, well-being, and educational success, as they are often the only healthcare providers within schools(3,13,44,45). The NASN, established in 1968, reinforces this structured approach by providing guidelines such as the 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ model and advocating for the full-time presence of school nurses(41,46). With approximately 132,300 school nurses in the USA(47), ongoing investment in their professional development is supported by national assessment systems, such as the National Survey of Children’s Health(48), which inform school health policies. In contrast, Europe shows a significant gap in research on this topic, despite the recommendations from the European Network of Health Promoting Schools, which emphasizes the urgent need for further investigation and the implementation of health integration policies in schools(49). Furthermore, in other regions of the world, such as Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia, structured training programs in this field of school health have also not been identified.

This scoping review included studies published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, intending to capture a comprehensive view of global practices. However, despite this inclusive approach, all included studies originated from the United States, which demonstrates a significant geographical bias in the literature. This limitation reflects the overrepresentation of English-speaking contexts and highlights the lack of studies from regions such as Latin America, which share linguistic similarities but are underrepresented in the global research corpus.

Latin America presents a unique opportunity for research due to its high ethnic and cultural diversity and distinct social determinants of health(50). Research from this region has been sparse, not only in the domain of school health training but also across other public health domains(51). Addressing these gaps requires a conscious effort to include diverse voices and research outputs, thereby promoting a more comprehensive understanding of global health challenges and solutions. Expanding the geographic scope of research is crucial, not only to ensure inclusivity but also to tailor interventions that are culturally and contextually relevant.

Data revealed a significant gap in the pedagogical structures of technology-mediated training programs. Although programs integrate technology for remote learning, most do not align with established pedagogical models, often converting traditional practices into virtual formats(52). Only two programs incorporate pedagogical models: the ICARE model - Introduction, Connect, Apply, Reflect, and Extend(39) and Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations model(27), highlighting the importance of grounding technology-mediated programs in sound pedagogical principles. The use of technology with educational intent is essential, requiring pedagogical support in the structures, actors, and teaching strategies(53). In an e-activities framework, the design of online activities with intentional pedagogical strategies is crucial to promote engagement and active participation, going beyond the simple transfer of traditional practices to digital formats(54). Similarly, effective online education requires structuring courses based on pedagogical theories that facilitate meaningful interactions(55), such as the Community of Inquiry model(56), ensuring that technology-enhanced programs are more than just innovative - they are pedagogically sound. Online educational programs are seen as innovative and complementary approaches(57), and blended learning, in particular, has the potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of educational activities(58).

These programs were strongly influenced by a hands-on approach, incorporating guidelines based on recommended directives. It was also observed that the influence of nursing theoretical models, such as the student-centered framework of the 21st Century School Nursing Practice™(47) and Benner’s model(37), can be crucial for structuring nursing practice and enriching the educational experience(59).

The definition of CSHCN is not limited to the presence of a clinical diagnosis but rather encompasses the consequences that a condition can generate across various domains, making the concept broader and more inclusive(60). However, the programs identified in this research review tend to focus on specific health conditions. The analyzed programs tend to prioritize conditions highlighted in the epidemiological profile of children requiring urgent interventions, such as diabetes and asthma, likely due to the high risk of serious or fatal outcomes(6163).

Training programs were fundamental in all collected studies, promoting educational interventions that provided nurses with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to deliver quality care. These findings confirm the positive impact of continuous education on maintaining high standards of nursing care(64). Ongoing training is essential for the effective management of special health needs in the school environment, and this should be adapted to the specific needs of nurses(65).

The teaching strategies applied in the studies ranged from PowerPoint modules to interactive discussion forums, promoting both autonomous and collaborative learning. The need for environments that facilitate interaction among nurses is emphasized, as well as the flexibility provided by digital technologies. Additionally, e-learning has emerged as an effective alternative for continuing education in nursing, demonstrating positive results in terms of satisfaction, flexibility, and content relevance(45,66,67).

All the analyzed studies emphasized the importance of detailing how the assessment of knowledge, skill development, self-efficacy, and professional confidence of nurses occur, integrating assessment practices into training planning. Competency-based training aims to improve population’s health outcomes(68). The results of this review indicate that such programs can strengthen the self-efficacy and confidence of school nurses(69). Self-efficacy influences the perception of the ability to change behaviors, which is crucial for the acquisition of clinical skills(70). Although it was not mentioned, Kirkpatrick evaluation model is widely used to measure training effectiveness through four levels(71).

The results show that the evaluations conducted predominantly focused on the summative component, neglecting formative assessment, which is crucial for monitoring the learning process during the design and development of training. Furthermore, the mere incorporation of technologies into assessment does not ensure an effective transformation of evaluation methods(72). This underscores the urgency for adaptations in assessment in response to changes in educational environments resulting from the migration to digital spaces(73). It is also essential to explore new paradigms of assessment and self-assessment in technology-mediated training models, recognizing and valuing the diversity of digital assessment methods. To this end, it is recommended to integrate assessment tasks and activities that simulate real-life situations(72). In this context, the implementation of continuous assessment strengthens the structure of the evaluation model, emphasizing its formative function and promoting the development of learners by placing them at the center of the educational process.

This review had limitations, such as only searching for studies in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. In spite of these limitations, it identified a knowledge gap, providing insights into future research and suggesting an approach for developing technology-mediated training programs focusing on special health needs in a school context.

CONCLUSION

This scoping review revealed significant methodological and practical implications for the development of training programs aimed at school teams, with a focus on special health needs. The use of multiple digital resources enriches the training, fostering both individual and collaborative learning. Looking ahead, it is crucial to address the lack of a solid pedagogical framework for digital environments, the need for further research into the various domains associated with special health needs, particularly those involving support from interdisciplinary school teams, and for training adapted to digital formats, incorporating consistent and suitable formative evaluation tools.
