School Nursing Practice and Factors Associated With Job Satisfaction Among School Nurses Supporting Children With Medical Complexity in Japanese Elementary Schools.
Article in Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThe number of children with medical complexity attending mainstream elementary schools in Japan has increased, highlighting the critical role of school nurses in supporting their care. We aimed to clarify the current status of school nursing practice and to explore factors associated with job satisfaction among school nurses supporting children with medical complexity in Japan.
methodsWe conducted an exploratory and descriptive cross-sectional web-based survey among school nurses working in elementary schools across nine prefectures in Japan with a high proportion of children having medical complexity (estimate of eligible nurses = 768; valid responses = 137). We measured job satisfaction levels using a visual analog scale and subsequently performed multiple regression analysis.
resultsMost school nurses were employed in non-regular positions (93.7%); 65.6% worked as the sole nurse at their school. Advanced medical procedures were more frequently performed in schools with multiple school nurses. Job satisfaction was positively associated with collaborative achievement (β = 0.539, p < 0.001) and consultations with school staff (β = 0.214, p = 0.004) and was negatively associated with developing individualized care manuals (β = -0.184, p = 0.013).
conclusionsThis study suggests that effective interprofessional collaboration, appropriate staffing, and supportive working environments may be important for sustaining the school nursing workforce caring for children with medical complexity. These findings provide empirical evidence for considering working conditions and organizational support in developing a sustainable school nursing system in Japan.
