Skolkuratorers hälsofrämjande och förebyggande arbete för att öka närvaro och förebygga frånvaro bland elever i grundskolan - en scoping review

Background: Students with school attendance problems, not only run the risk of failing school, but they also run an increased risk of psychosocial problems in adulthood. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to what can be done early, before the more extensive problems have developed. Through the school social work, it is possible to analyse the entire context around school attendance and school attendance problems. Objectives: To present what has emerged in previous research regarding school counselors’ health promotion and prevention work to increase school attendance and prevent school attendance problems among students in elementary school. Method: Scoping review Eligibility criteria: Publications were selected according to PRISMA ScR guidelines. Sources of evidence: Peer-reviewed articles Charting methods: A qualitative content analysis based on a systems theory approach is presented in both tables and text. The analysis was based on the results and conclusion of the included articles and was described through a categorization against the objectives and different system levels. Results: The school counselors work to strengthen relationships and cooperation between students, parents, school staff and other actors, as well as by offering various types of targeted interventions or prevention programs. Conclusions: School counselors’ work consists largely of remedial actions. It is unfortunate since health promotion and prevention work at different levels in the system is important to reduce school attendance problems. The cooperative role of school counselors and their system-oriented thinking contributes to relationship building, and a holistic view of school attendance and school attendance problems.
