Outline of Final Research Achievements	The results suggest that in order for nurses in special needs schools to continue working actively, it is necessary to review their relationships and information sharing with other professionals and parents, as well as their employment status. It was found that the relationships and information sharing with school principals, school doctors, and attending physicians, in addition to the teachers and school nurses in charge as described so far, influenced nurses' work engagement (a positive and fulfilling psychological state related to work, characterized by vitality, enthusiasm, and immersion). Employment conditions such as wages and employment status also affected work engagement. In order for nurses in special-needs schools to continue to work with vigor and enthusiasm, it is necessary to review the system that allows nurses to build relationships and share information with other professionals and parents.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	特別支援学校の看護師がいきいきと働き続けるには，他職者や保護者との関係性や情報共有，雇用形態の見直しが必要であることが示唆された．これまで述べられてきた担当教員や養護教諭だけでなく，学校長や学校医、主治医との関係性や情報共有が，看護師のワークエンゲージメントに影響を与えていた．特別支援学校の看護師がいきいきと働き続けるためには，看護師が他職者や保護者と関係性を構築し、情報共有できる体制の見直しが求められる．それには，学校長のリーダーシップが欠かせない．特別支援学校の看護師がいきいきと働き続けることが，医療的ケア児の安心・安全な教育環境の保障とケアの質の向上につながる。
