Abstract

Introduction: School health care (SHC) in preschool education institutions plays a vital role in ensuring children's health and contributes to the goal of comprehensive education. However, the implementation of SHC currently faces numerous difficulties and challenges. Objectives: This study aims to describe the status of SHC in preschool education institutions and identify the advantages and challenges in implementing SHC in Ca Mau province in 2023. Subjects and Research Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 117 preschool education institutions using a pre-prepared questionnaire. The collected data were entered and processed using SPSS 27.0 software. Results: The percentage of preschool education institutions meeting the requirements for SHC is 83.8%. Some favorable factors include an effective management model, good intersectoral coordination, secured operational funding, and facilities that meet the required standards. However, challenges still exist, such as unreasonable incentive policies, low health insurance reimbursement rates, and limited qualifications of SHC staff. Conclusion: The implementation of SHC in preschool institutions in Ca Mau province is still not coordinated, and it is essential to enhance training for SHC staff while ensuring the necessary conditions to improve operational effectiveness in the future
