Summary

School stress and performance requirements have been shown to contribute to mental illness among children and young people.

Student health teams have an important role regarding mental health of children and young people. Swedish student health teams include various health and pedagogical professionals, but physiotherapists are uncommon, despite the good effects school-related physical activity interventions have had on reducing anxiety and improving well-being in children and young people.

Haga School, Dals-Ed has now employed physiotherapists as part of the student health team to support students in learning to define, reduce and manage stress.

The purpose of the research project is to investigate changes in perceived stress level and stress-related symptoms, as well as study results and absence from school during two years for students in grades 4 to 9 at Haga School. A questionnaire will be sent out on four occasions over two years. Group level statistics on study results and school absence will be compared with years previous to the introduction of the school physiotherapist. The research contributes to increased knowledge about effects of having a physiotherapist as part of a student health team in Sweden.
