Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we interviewed high school nurses about how they deal with to deal with students who hurt themselves.
School nurses supported students and their families in coping with the problem by accepting their feelings without denying their self-harm. As a school support system, students' information was shared, and there was a support system for teachers. School nurses contributed to the development of the school's support system.
School nurses also used on-campus and off-campus resources to maintain their mental health. They also wanted a system in which they could consult with people nearby, and felt the need for opportunities to learn concrete methods and knowledge about support.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学校において生徒の自傷行為は重要な問題であり、学校をとりまく社会的な変化としてメンタルヘルスの支援が重要視されている。自傷行為を行う生徒に対して養護教諭らの担う役割は大きく、本研究で明らかになった具体的な対応方法や学校での支援体制、養護教諭らがさらに必要と感じている体制について明らかになり、学校での支援体制の構築に貢献すると考えられる。また、学校では支援期間の限界があるため、学校での支援体制を明らかにすることは、その後の支援機関における支援体制の構築にも貢献することができる。
