However, the actual pattern of complaints they manage remains poorly documented. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and types of chief complaints, particularly injuries, among school children presenting to school nurses in rural Nepal and to identify demographic and temporal associations.<strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from five schools with qualified school nurses in Dhading district. Records of 1,167 students (aged 5–18 years) who presented with a chief complaint during school hours across three fiscal years (2022–2024) were analyzed. Complaints were categorized into ten clinical groups. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests for associations, and trend analyses were performed. <strong>Results: </strong>The majority of students were female (58.4%) and aged 11–15 years (57.8%). The most common chief complaints were neurological (28.0%, primarily headache), musculoskeletal/injury (23.9%), and gastrointestinal (21.0%). Within injuries, cut injuries (34.8%) and fall injuries (15.1%) predominated. Significant associations were found between complaint type and age (<em>p </em>< 0.001) and gender (<em>p </em>< 0.001), but not ethnicity (<em>p </em>= 0.204). Male students had higher injury rates (30.5% vs. 19.2%), while females reported more neurological and reproductive complaints. Injury related consultations peaked during the monsoon months. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Musculoskeletal injuries account for nearly one in four school nurse consultations, with distinct demographic and seasonal patterns. These findings provide an evidence base for strengthening school nurse training in acute injury management, developing gender-sensitive services, and implementing seasonally-targeted prevention programs in rural Nepal.</p>2026-06-30T14:14:53+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Bimal Singh Bist, Puspa Raj Pant, Sanu Krishna Shrestha, Pavan Sah, Lokendra Sherchan, Subash Neupane, Dipendra Gautam, SujanAdhikari, Ashis Thapa, Ram Prasad Neupane
