A toolkit, developed by a multidisciplinary team of national and statewide professionals, was promoted among school nurses in Michigan to support use of the standards of care for asthma in schools. We evaluated the effectiveness of the toolkit to assist school nurses in providing support for students with asthma. We used a multimethod approach to assess use of the toolkit, changes in nursing practices as a result of using the toolkit, and challenges encountered when implementing the standards for asthma care. During a 12-month period, from July 2022 through June 2023, increases in time on web page and monthly page views aligned with efforts to promote toolkit use. School nurses reported using the toolkit and implementing practice changes pertaining to training and education, ensuring proper use of and access to asthma medications, and advocating for self-carry of asthma medications. Challenges to implementing the standards of asthma care were time, parental engagement, institutional support, and identifying students with asthma. We found that our promotional efforts prompted school nurses to access the toolkit, which helped school nurses to effectuate practice changes to improve support for students with asthma in schools.

Surveys were completed by nurse managers from 12 (86%) of 14 IC settings.
