Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the direction of medical support in schools in the future by analyzing the perceptions of administrators, special education teachers, medical staff, and guardians about medical support for students with severe and multiple disabilities(SMD). Method: A focus group interview was conducted with 3 principals, 9 special education teachers, 4 medical staff members(i.e., doctor, nurse), and 3 guardians who provide medical support for students with SMD. Text-mining analysis and constant comparative analysis were conducted for the analysis. Results: All participants positively perceived the placement of school nurses for students with SMD who need special health care. In order to systematize medical support for students with SMD, active roles of the Ministry of Education, balancing nurse supply and demand, developing an appropriate emergency situation manual, and building a cooperative system with medical institutions in a local community are required. Conclusion: A sustainable concrete in-school medical support plan for students with SMD and the need for legal stipulation were discussed.
